Hiking checklist✅
Best Time for a Hike: I would recommend choosing late spring to early autumn (May to October). The weather is a lot more predictable, and the trails are clear.
What to pack: Good hiking boots, a trusty rain jacket (just in case!), and plenty of layers!
Where to Stay: If you’re looking for a budget-friendly place, check out guesthouses in the villages. They usually provide cozy accommodation and homemade food.
