Trekking Gear List for Nepal

Prepare thoughtfully for your trek to ensure comfort and ease. Pack essentials wisely, avoiding excess weight that could burden you or your porter. Prioritize these items for a fulfilling trekking experience

The Essentials

Ensure a comfortable trekking experience with lightweight, comfortable hiking boots or trail running shoes (preferably Goretex). Pack shorts, trekking pants, lightweight T-shirts, and a long-sleeved shirt. Bring layers like fleece, a rain jacket, and a down jacket for varying weather conditions. Don't forget socks and a backpack with waist and chest belts (around 35 liters). Include a sleeping bag, sufficient cash (rupees), and a refillable water bottle. Essential accessories include sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.

Optional

Pack trekking poles, a compact first-aid kit with essentials like Band-Aids and Diamox, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper (available for purchase en route). Bring a quick-dry towel, soap/shampoo, flashlight/headlamp, dust mask, camera, and a sleeping bag liner for added comfort.
