Offline access to iCloud Drive

I have in some cases found myself in situations where I have no internet connections, neither Cellular nor WIFI while traveling abroad.
Sometimes I need access to important files, such as copies of my travel documents, site specific maps and directions, etc.
I have been able to solve this problem using DropBox which has a feature called "make available offline" which essentially saves a copy of the file onto my device.
I have searched to find out if such an option is available on icloud Drive, but I have not been able to find anything about it.
Do i know if such an option is available, and if it is not, is there a work-around?
