Camera lens fogs every Nuwara Eliya morning — rice bag trick or just wait twenty minutes?

Condensation is physics, not a broken lens: cold glass meets humid hill air. Keep the camera in the bag or a sealed pouch until you reach the viewpoint, add silica gel packs overnight, and avoid blasting AC on the body before dawn walks. Some people leave the kit in a slightly warmer room corner, not against a window. When fog hits, wait — wiping wet glass can smear coatings. Build fifteen to twenty minutes of patience into sunrise plans. A rain cover helps drizzle; it does not fix fog. I am not selling a brand of silica — any dry packs in a zip bag help.
