Best Time To Do Bailey Trail Trek
The ideal time to do this trek is in the pre-monsoon season in May, June and the post-monsoon season in September & October. In these seasons, the weather remains comparatively warmer than in any other month. The weather on this trek is still a little unpredictable as you might get past rain in some parts and snow in others as you go to higher altitudes.

- Head Lamps – If there are treks which you might do at night and even when camping for the night. Headlamps help a lot.

The glasses should protect from UV rays, fit your face perfectly so it doesn’t fall while you climb, jump, or cross an obstacle, and be according to the weather conditions of the place; the glass should be made to fit different weather conditions.
- Buff / Balaclava – You must carry this to protect your mouth or neck from extreme temperatures and keep it warm.
