Hiking checklist✅
Best Time for a Hike: I would recommend choosing late spring to early autumn (May to October). This is because 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: Since you love being in nature, you’re likely looking for a budget-friendly place. I would recommend checking out guesthouses in the villages, as they usually provide cozy accommodation and homemade food.
