Packing Information for Trekking

WHAT TO BRING, CARRY WITH YOU: (GEARS)

Himalayan Dynasty delivers you with a complimentary duffle bag, warm sleeping bag, down jacket, and fleece liners for all trips. However, we recommend the following items for typical multi-days trekking in Nepal. Since you have the luxury of Porters, the size of your daypack can be reasonable that can take your personal valuables along with a camera, rain gear, minute snacks, and one warm lightweight jacket/pullover. Meanwhile, is is very wise to pack sensibly as there is a weight limitation specified for porters, and for all our domestic flights. However, you can buy the missed out gears once you arrive in Kathmandu.
