Kit
Essential to wear boots that are
waterproof and that are mid or
high ankle. Approach shoes are not
Suitable.
Take a pair of trainers for wearing in
the evenings. Flip flops are useful for
before and after the trek.
25-30ltr rucksack is essential. Do
have a waterproof cover for it too or dry bag.
Dry bags for your main luggage for the trek too.
Soft bags for main luggage and bring another
small bag/carrier bag for items not to be used on
the trek, you can leave them at the hotel.
There is a weight limit for the trek itself.
• Buy the best that you can
afford. Sleep is so important on
this trek
• A 4 seasons + sleeping bag is
essential, and a silk liner is a
great idea to give you extra
warmth
We recommend factor 30
as a minimum but for altitude
use factor 50. Lipsalve with a high
spf is just as important
Cameras that use AA batteries are
easier to use as you may not have access
to electricity to charge your lithium battery
