Smart packing tips for lighter travel

Overpacking can lead to steep baggage fees; packing light saves money.

Pack for purpose with multipurpose clothes, not 'just in case'.

Create a capsule wardrobe with mixable essentials like cotton kurtas, leggings, and scarves.

Use multi-use items like a cotton scarf/dupatta and a reusable bottle to minimize weight.

Decant toiletries into small containers and use solid products like shampoo bars to reduce luggage.
