So why not ditch the predictable gifts and surprise him with hiking essentials that match his wild spirit and wanderer’s heart.
Here’s a curated list of thoughtful hiking essentials that make perfect Rakhi gifts because nothing says “I care” like gear that keeps him safe and happy on his adventures.
1. Durable Hiking Backpack

2.Trekking Shoes
If he's been slipping on the trails (literally), gift him sturdy trekking shoes that offer excellent grip and complete waterproof protection.

3. All-Weather Jacket
A lightweight, packable, waterproof jacket is essential for mountain weather. Make sure it’s breathable and wind-resistant.
Bonus: Let him rock his favourite colour because comfort doesn’t have to mean boring!
4. Headlamp or Lantern
Perfect for early morning treks or overnight camping. Go for LED options with a long battery life and adjustable brightness.
Pro Tip: Get a rechargeable one to make it eco-friendly.
5. Multi-Tool
For the brother who’s always fixing things on the trail, a multi-tool is both practical and cool.
6. Hiking Socks & Thermal Wear
Not the most glamorous gift, but the most practical and functional one - ask any seasoned trekker, good quality socks prevent blisters and discomfort on long hikes.
7. Hydration Bottle
Whether it’s a short-day hike or a multi-day trek, a BPA-free water bottle is an essential companion.
Our favourite Pick – Columbia Tritan Hydration bottle
8. Rakhi
No gift is complete without the Rakhi itself. Choose one that reflects his adventurous spirit - a compass-themed Rakhi, a mountain design, or something eco-friendly.
Not every bond needs words. Sometimes, it just needs a thread, a trail, and the silent promise that you’ll always be there. This Rakhi, give him something that travels with him: not just gear, but a reminder of your constant presence, even when you're miles apart.
Happy Raksha Bandhan.
