Spti Valley Trip - Essential Medicines

The Himalayan are tough and at times brutal. Here is a list of essential medicines that we took along for the trip, thankfully we didn't have to use many!

The views are awesome but try finding Crocin here!

This list is generic in nature and may include some prescription drugs - please ask your doctor for advice and don't forget to carry any medicine that you regularly consume. We did find many drug stores along the way but once you go past Kinnaur everything starts getting dear.
