RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLOTHING & EQUIPMENT


BASIC CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT CHECKLIST FOR TREKKING IN THE HIMALAYAS

This section deserves your attention. You will need to bring clothing and equipment that can be used in a wide variety of weather conditions. Within the same 24 hour period, it can be freezing cold in the morning, sunny and warm with blue skies during the day, raining or snowing by late afternoon and back to freezing cold at night. You must balance between being properly clothed and equipped with your weight allowance and your budget. Along with the information on this page, we encourage you to contact us with any questions as you get ready for your trip and / or before you consider making an expensive gear purchase.
