SUGGESTED CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT LIST  FOR TREKKING

We recommend you to travel with a soft material bag and a small day-pack. Please

bear in mind the porters will be carrying your luggage so please ensure they are of

good quality, have strong straps and secure zips.

In terms of clothes, it is all about layers as you could experience temperatures (in

celsius) that range from zero to thirty degrees. Though the weather will

usually be less extreme than this, you will find yourself adding and removing layers

a fair amount during a day, especially if you are walking. As such lots of layers are

essential and we would recommend packing a range of clothes from t-shirts, long

sleeve t-shirts, jumpers, shorts and trousers.

CLOTHING

• Thermal underwear
• Good quality fleece pullovers and trouses-100% polyester
• A good rain/windproof jacket with a hood and trousers
• Good quality socks with cushions and climate control (several pairs).
  • Lightweight trousers (the combat style are the most practical, especially the ones

That unzip to make shorts) for walking

• One pair ankle length boots/or walking shoes with a good grip profile. We

Recommend ‘cortex’ as it is light and breathable, though leather is better in wet

      and snowy weather. Please ensure you have ‘broken’ the boots in, new ones could cause aggravation.
