Practical, Colourful and Unique – Why the Yakpack Is the Travel Blanket for Every Journey

Long journeys can be uncomfortable — hard seats, cold cabins, overstuffed bags. Whether you’re travelling by plane, train, coach or car, comfort is the first thing to disappear once the trip begins. That’s why we designed the Yakpack: a handmade, practical and colourful travel blanket that keeps you cosy from departure to arrival — and looks good doing it.

Made in Nepal, each Yakpack is handwoven from soft, durable yarn and cleverly designed to transform from pillow to blanket to wrap in seconds. Here’s why it’s the ultimate travel companion for every kind of journey.

Departure Pain Point: The Hard Seat Dilemma

Airports, train stations and coach terminals all seem to have one thing in common — uncomfortable seating that seems purposefully designed for maximum discomfort. Those hard, uninviting benches make waiting feel endless.

That’s where the Yakpack’s pillow mode comes in. Fold or roll your Yakpack into its pouch, tuck it behind your back or under your neck, and suddenly that hard plastic seat feels a little more luxurious. Pop it under your bum and use it as a cushion while you wait — a comfortable bum is a happy one!

“It’s amazing how much difference a little cushion can make when you’re stuck waiting for a delayed flight!” — Sarah, Yakpack Traveller

In Transit: Why Are Planes (and Trains) Always So Cold?

If you’ve ever shivered through a long-haul flight or wrapped yourself in a too-small airline blanket, you’re not alone. Cabins are kept cold to prevent overheating and dehydration, which is great for safety — but not so great for comfort.

The Yakpack blanket keeps you warm without taking up space in your bag. It folds neatly, fits into a backpack or carry-on, and unfolds into a soft, cosy blanket just when you need it, plus the pillow case is the perfect size to pop in the airline pillow. No need to ask for extras or pack bulky layers — your comfort is always within reach.

“I bought mine to use on the plane, but it ended up being a godsend on my train from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok, which was absolutely freezing! I ended up using it for the whole holiday which I wasn’t expecting at all since I was in the tropics. My Yakpack and really been for the journey and I love it” — Katherine, Solo Traveller

Arrival: The Post-Travel Dash

You’ve finally arrived, checked into your hotel, and want to head straight out — maybe to stretch your legs, explore, or grab dinner. The last thing you want to do is unpack everything to find something warm to wear.

Here’s where Yakpack transforms again — simply drape it as a wrap or shawl and you’re ready to go. It’s stylish enough to wear out and soft enough to relax in later. No need to rummage through bags or unpack your suitcase.

Whether it’s a city stroll, a mountain view or a seaside evening, Yakpack keeps you comfortable and carefree from start to finish.

MMore Than Just a Blanketore Than Just a Blanket

Every Yakpack is handmade in Nepal using traditional weaving techniques, supporting small artisan communities and fair trade practices. The bright, unique colours make each one truly individual — no two Yakpack’s are ever the same.

So, whether you’re buying one for your next trip or gifting it to a fellow traveller, you’re choosing comfort, craftsmanship and colour — all in one beautiful piece.
