Packing List
Below is a list of items to pack for your trekking trip to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience:
Footwear: Comfortable hiking boots that have been tried and tested before your trek starts, and spare boot laces. Also, 2-3 pairs of good quality walking socks made from Merino wool, which are odourless.
Trekking Gear: Walking or hiking poles, waterproof jacket, fleece jacket, down jacket (in winter or for higher altitudes), 2-3 hiking shirts, thin & warm hiking trousers, thermal underwear, warm hat, warm gloves, neck warmer, sun hat, sunglasses, and 2 refillable water bottles (each at least 1 litre).
Carrying: Large rucksack (55 to 70 litres), waterproofed rucksack cover, day bag (25 to 40 litres) in case you booked a helper.
Resting & Sleeping: Fleece sweater, sweatpants or other comfortable trousers, sneakers to wear in guesthouses, bath slippers, sleeping bag (temperature certification depends on the trekking route), sleeping liner (even if the lodges provide warm blankets, they don’t change the bed liners every day, so your own liner is a comfortable and hygienic alternative), warm pyjamas or long underwear, earplugs for the nights, headlamp or torch.
Body Care: High factor sun cream, lip balm preferably with sunblock, toiletries, travel towel – fast drying, toilet paper, disinfectant for hands, and whatever you need for your personal well-being.
Accommodation: Along the trek, guesthouses offer unpretentious but hygienic lodgings, usually featuring double or triple bedrooms, and frequently with their own eateries. Bedrooms are generally not heated and can get chilly during the night, so although warm blankets are provided, it’s suggested to carry your own sleeping bag or bed liner. In certain tea houses, bedrooms might lack electrical sockets, but electronic gadgets can be charged in the communal area for a nominal fee.
Food and Drinks: At the guesthouse, the menu boasts an extensive selection of Nepalese and international dishes, and it is recommended to try the local cuisine. Vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes are available in abundance, with the must-try delicacy being Dal Bhat. It is advised to bring a refillable water bottle, as water is sold from large tanks to reduce the use of plastic in the mountains. The cost of these items may be higher than in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
