Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rajsamand could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Rajsamand a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
