Moreover, as you will be in the middle of the jungle, it is highly recommended that you wear full sleeve clothes. Besides, even during the heat of the summer, it is best to avoid any insect/mosquito bites and skin rashes. Additionally, comfortable shoes that cover your feet effectively are also recommended.

 

During the afternoon, sunscreen is very crucial with proper eye shades as well. You might as well carry a bottle of water to stay hydrated. Furthermore, it is recommended to dress in layers if you are planning for the tour during mid winter to keep yourself warm. Similarly, if you want to go on your adventure during the monsoon, you must have proper rain wear. Despite the proper preparations, you should constantly be ready for insect/mosquito bites and rashes. It is therefore advisable to keep an insect repellent with you throughout the tour.
