5 Things to Carry on a Road-Trip This Monsoon

With monsoons pretty much here, it's the perfect time to take your car or bike out and go for a road trip, whether it's a short getaway or a long adventure. The rains bring a refreshing change from the scorching summer heat, transforming the landscape into a lush, green paradise. However, while enjoying the scenic beauty and the cool breeze, it's essential to be prepared for the journey. To ensure a safe and enjoyable trip, we've put together a list of 5 items you must always carry with you on a road trip this monsoon.

  1. Ample Drinking Water

When exploring offbeat paths, you can never be certain if you'll find shops or food stalls along the way. Having an ample supply of drinking water is crucial to stay hydrated and energized throughout your journey. It's always better to carry more water than you think you'll need, as running out of drinking water can be inconvenient and potentially dangerous.

  1. First-Aid / Safety Kit

A first-aid kit is an essential item for any road trip. It should include basic medical supplies such as band-aids, antiseptic wipes, pain relievers, and any prescription medications you might need. Additionally, consider packing a safety kit that includes a flashlight, multi-tool, emergency contact information, and a reflective vest. Being prepared for minor injuries or emergencies can make a significant difference during your trip.

  1. Something Refreshing to Drink

One of the joys of a monsoon road trip is enjoying a hot, refreshing beverage amidst the rain. We recommend carrying Jawai Instant Rajwadi Masala Chai Premix. This convenient premix only requires hot water to be added, transforming it into a steaming and strong cup of Rajwadi Masala Chai. It's perfect for a quick, invigorating break during your journey. The rich spices in the chai provide warmth and comfort, making it an ideal companion for rainy weather.

  1. Some Filling Snacks

No road trip is complete without some delicious and filling snacks. We recommend a variety of Jawai snacks that are easy to carry and perfect for munching on the go. Here are some great options:

  • Methi Puri: This ready-to-eat snack is flavorful and satisfying. The Methi Puri from Jawai (product link: Methi Puri) is a crispy delight made with fenugreek leaves, perfect for snacking during your drive.

  1. Rain Gear and Extra Clothing

Monsoon weather can be unpredictable, with sudden downpours and muddy paths. Carrying rain gear such as waterproof jackets, umbrellas, and rain boots can help keep you dry and comfortable. Additionally, pack extra clothing in case you get wet. Having dry clothes to change into can make a significant difference in your comfort level during the trip.

Enjoy Your Next Monsoon Road-trip with Chai and Snacks

Monsoons are one of the best times to get away from the city and enjoy some peace and quiet with your family. By being well-prepared with essential items, you can make the most of your road trip and savor the beautiful monsoon scenery. Chai and snacks are a great way to relax and decompress during the journey, and Jawai has some great and easy-to-use or ready-to-eat options to ensure your food and drink needs are sorted. So, pack your bags, gather your loved ones, and embark on a memorable monsoon road trip with Jawai snacks and beverages to keep you refreshed and satisfied.
