Last-minute trip? Try these packing hacks to travel light
India, July 23 -- Everyone has a globetrotter within. But the thrill of travel quickly fades when packing turns into a sweaty struggle. Smart packing takes care of all these issues in a jiffy. Knowing some key packing hacks can be helpful so your luggage doesn't burden your travel spirit. Dharamveer Singh Chouhan, a travel expert, shares how one can smartly pack their suitcase.

A lightweight backpack, soft duffel, or compact cabin-size suitcase can transform how you move. Prioritise those with multiple compartments, easy to organise, and quick to access. A streamlined bag helps you breeze through airports, hop into local buses, and explore winding alleys without strain.
Pack versatile pieces that suit multiple scenarios rather than entire outfits for 'what if' situations.
Swap heavy, leak-prone bottles with travel-sized containers or solid shampoo and soap bars. Pack daily essentials in a clear, spill-proof pouch. Stick to what you truly use, not your whole bathroom shelf. Need more? You can likely buy it at your destination.
Roll clothes to save space and avoid wrinkles. Use packing cubes for a compact, organized setup. Stuff socks in shoes and fill gaps with underwear or chargers.
Your smartphone is your camera, map, and notebook. All you need is a compact power bank and universal adapter. Skip laptops or tablets unless essential, and only bring camera gear if it suits the trip.

For longer trips, carry a small laundry bar or travel-sized pack of detergent. Washing clothes mid-trip reduces the need to pack fresh outfits. Hotels, hostels, and even local laundromats often offer quick laundry services.
A pouch with your passport, travel documents, phone, charger, and some cash ensures you're never rummaging at the airport or bus stations....
