Best Solar Chargers & Power Banks for Camping in India 2026
Keep your devices charged on multi-day treks - solar panels and power banks for Indian conditions
Power is a real challenge on multi-day Himalayan treks. Villages may have unreliable electricity and charging points disappear above certain altitudes. A quality power bank lasts 3-4 days; a solar panel extends that indefinitely. Here are our picks.
Anker PowerCore 20000mAh by Anker
₹2,999
Best for: multi-day trekking, phone and headlamp charging
- 20000mAh charges most phones 4-5 times
- Dual USB-A + USB-C ports
- Anker's reliability is well established in India
- Heavy at 356g
- No solar charging
💬 20000mAh covers 5 days of phone and headlamp without solar. 356g - you'll notice it, and carry it anyway.

BigBlue 28W Solar Charger by BigBlue
₹3,999
Best for: extended treks, off-grid expeditions

₹8,999
Best for: premium solar, expedition, reliability
