Trekking Equipments

We provide a kit bag (for your goods to be carried by porter) and at tea houses you will have foam mattresses. If you are on camping trek, company provides the mattresses, tents etc. You may bring your own down jacket and sleeping bag or you may purchase (one quarter of price in KTM) or hire for around US$ 1 per item daily. Do not come without “well walked in boots”-poor boots poor trek and the best boot the best trek.
