Traveling gives us the freedom to explore and enjoy to our heart’s content. But ignoring personal hygiene can potentially hamper a good trip. If you are going to Chhattisgarh and staying in one of the hotels in Raipur, you must take care of your personal hygiene irrespective of the type of hotel you are staying in. Here are 6 tips to maintain your personal hygiene while travelling:

1. 
Drink bottled water as much as possible

It’s very difficult to predict the quality of drinking water while going to a new place. Especially if you are travelling in the monsoon season, drinking impure water can cause various water-borne diseases. You must always have bottled water to keep yourself as hydrated as possible.

2. 
Carry hand sanitizers and tissue and toilet papers

While on road, you must have a hand sanitizer and some tissue papers to keep your hands free from germs. If you are staying in a good hotel in Raipur near the airport, then you probably don’t need to worry about toilet papers. But if you are visiting some remote place, it’s always advisable to have toilet papers to avoid contacting infections.

3. 
Have a first aid kit

Small wounds and injuries can lead to infections and diseases if not treated properly. It’s important to have first aid products like bandages, ointments, cotton, etc. to safely clean and disinfectant the wound. If you have any medical condition, then don’t forget to take medicines for that.

4. 
Carry a conditioner, exfoliant along with a moisturizer

Irrespective of what time of the year you are travelling, you must carry am exfoliant product along with a moisturizer having a good sun protection feature. This will ensure you keep your skin fresh and healthy devoid of dirt or sunburn.

5. 
For women, carry a good number of menstruation pads

If you are travelling to a rural area, it may be difficult to get menstruation pads. It’s highly advisable to carry as many pads as possible. You must ensure that the pads are always kept dry. If you are menstruating, try to change the pad every 6–7 hours. Carry medicines if you suffer from cramps and have PMS problem during menstruation.

6. 
Be careful with the food you are eating

Don’t get swayed away by the excitement of tasting local food. Always eat properly cooked food. Avoid eating oily food as much as possible. To keep your stomach well, try not to eat junk or stale food.

Even if you are staying in a good 
hotel in Raipur near the airport, don’t depend on the hotel services for personal hygiene. Take care of your own personal hygiene. Practising good personal hygiene can reduce the risk of any sort of illness while on the road, making the travel a memorable one.
