Packing the right gear makes a big difference to your trekking experience. To keep things easy and comfortable, one porter is assigned for every two trekkers. Each porter carries a maximum of 22 kg, so the luggage allowance is 11 kg per trekker.
We recommend sharing a duffle bag (60+ liters) with your trekking partner for porter use. You should also carry a small daypack (20–30 liters) for valuables, documents, water, and daily essentials. Any extra luggage can be securely stored at your hotel free of charge during the trek
While personal preferences may vary, the following packing list will help you stay warm, safe, and comfortable on the trail.
We can provide you with a (used, nonwaterproof) duffle bag, (used) down jacket, and (used) sleeping bag if you donot have your own.
