Check List

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.
