Trek, which means walking on the mountain area
for several days. It is one of the best way of enjoying the nature. But the
best way may get worst if you are not concerned about the equipment’s you need
during trek. The smoothness of your trek depends on your knowledge about the
equipments you need to carry during the trek.
If you have already booked or planning to book
your trekking package in Nepal and wondering to prepare what to bring in Nepal
for your trekking, we are happy to offer the essential checklist for your
information. You can choose the items as per the list for your convenience. If
you cannot get all the equipment from your place with time constraint or with
any reason, you don’t need to worry as you can easily buy or rent these equipment’s
in Kathmandu or in Pokhara. Be advised that it is always a better idea to keep
your luggage light for the trekking. If you are hiring a porter to carry your
bags during your trekking in Nepal, take note that normally 1 porter carries up
to 25Kgs of luggage and it is for 2 persons.
Below is the
checklist of the necessary equipment for the trekking in Nepal:
