Going on treks in October to Kedarnath, Tungnath, and Madhyamaheshwar. Looking for the best trekking shoes within a budget.

My current options are:

1. Bacca Bucci SOLDIER Good reviews – ₹1,699
2. Asian Everest 24 – Lightweight – ₹1,500
3. Quechua NH150 or NH100 – ₹3,600 – slightly over budget :(

Any other good options are also welcome. My budget is around ₹3,000.

This is my first trek, pls list the essential trekking equipment and other things I should carry or do for these treks. Tips on preparation, clothing, footwear, safety, and other useful things would be really helpful.
