Please be sure that the clothes you carry with you should be light enough for the warmth of the days and importantly warm enough for the cold nights of the Himalayas. Nepal has various climates. Clothes of light and warm materials are a must. We suggest you carry a dress of casual and comfortable styles. As you climb altitudes above 2000m, you must wear warm woolen clothes but as you start trailing down to lower altitude cotton clothes can make you feel a lot more comfortable.

Therefore, you are suggested to bring comfortable clothes suitable for both humid and chilly conditions. In case you don’t possess the four-season sleeping bag/ jackets and duffel bag, please don’t worry about it. We do provide such necessities free of cost for the duration of trekking. Hotels you stay in Kathmandu or our office can provide storage services without any cost. You are suggested to leave your belongings that are needed during the trekking at the hotel or our office.
