The following gives you a general idea of the personal items you can bring for the trek. The personal items are of individual interest and choice. The most important fact that one should keep in mind has enough clothes to tackle the cold weather in the Himalayas. In a supported trek, heavy items are carried by porters or yaks, and personal belongings you may need for the day, such as money, water bottle, rain gear, camera, sun cream, toilet paper, etc., should be carried by yourself. So you are briefed to pack items in two different bags. We will supply complimentary water and a windproof duffel bag you can use on the trek and is carried by porter/s. The duffel bag is yours to keep after the tour. You can leave your bag with your non-trek items at the hotel in Kathmandu and collect them after the trek.
Instant hand warmers are consistently excellent in a pinch but shouldn’t be necessary on the trek. Instead, bringing appropriate hand protection as recommended above should be sufficient (optional).
All clothing should be dry using waterproof sacks or large, puncture-resistant plastic bags.
(Please note our guide will also carry the first aid kit bag during the trek. However, we still recommend you bring your first aid kit as well)
Please Note: Tight fitting, figure-hugging clothing, such as those made with Lycra, can often be offensive to locals, especially to women. If you find these items comfortable as a base layer, please pack something to wear on top of them.
