What should you pack?

 

 

 

First of all, let’s talk about what you should pack while traveling to Barbados from India. Once your bag is ready, we can talk about other things.

 

 

 

  • Swimwear

 

 

 

The first thing you need to get along with you is a pair of good swimwear. Barbados has almost 60% of beaches. So, going there without swimwear would be like going out in the rain without an umbrella.

 

 

 

  • Bug spray

 

 

 

This may sound weird but yes you do need bug spray while traveling to Barbados. The reason being, Barbados is filled with pesky mosquitoes and insects, and we are pretty sure that we won’t want to get the bites of these insects.

 

 

 

  • Beach bag and hat

 

 

 

As you already know that Barbados tourism is all about beaches, so it is necessary to carry a small beach bag and stylish hat along with you. These both things do not only make you look stylish but also make things easier for you.

 

 

 

  • A small medical kit

 

 

 

The most important thing to get along with while traveling to Barbados from India is a medical kit. You don’t really need to carry a bunch of medicines but you must get the basic ones like bandages and a few other medicines for pain and fever.

 

 

 

  • Windproof umbrella and raincoat

 

 

 

The weather in tropical islands like Barbados is quite unpredictable. In fact, there are more chances of heavy winds and rains. This is why it is a wise decision to get a windproof umbrella and a good raincoat with you while traveling to Barbados from India.

 

 

 

  • Other important things

 

 

 

Apart from the above-mentioned essentials, there are a lot more things that you need to carry with you while traveling to Barbados from India. Those things include masks, a snorkel, a bunch of dresses for different occasions, different types of footwear, a fun pouch, a makeup box if you are a girl, a camera, a portable charger, a water bottle, a passport, travel insurance if you have, a secured wallet, travel adapter, and many other basic things that you need while traveling outdoors.
