What to bring You'll be experiencing a range of climates from the hot jungle to cool nights in the Himalaya. On the trek itself we will assign porters to carry your main luggage leaving you to enjoy the day and carry your own day-pack for essentials (water, snacks, sun-creams etc). There will also be free storage in the hotel prior to the trek allowing you to take only what you need. Bring practical clothes as you will be in the mountains and the jungle: there are no formal evenings. At the welcome and farewell dinners you need only smart/casual wear. Night-time temperatures in the mountains can be quite cool, so you will need a good sleeping bag and warm jacket. Some clients bring pyjamas or thermal underwear to sleep in, which can be a good idea. You can also purchase quite cheaply anything from trekking jackets, fleece tops, to sleeping bags and walking sticks (you can also hire these) in Kathmandu and Pokhara. So you don't even need to pack these. Clothes/footwear Good walking boots that provide ankle support (not shoes) are absolutely essential. Please make sure you 'wear them in' before travel. Light trekking jacket Fleece top or pullover Several pairs of comfortable light walking socks Sun hat/cap Equipment Please NO suitcases - only rucksacks or holdalls. This  helps our Himalayan porters. Good sleeping bag (you can also hire these prior to the trek). Adjustable walking sticks (you can hire locally). Small day pack/rucksack to carry daily incidentals. Basic first aid for essentials e.g.: plasters, antiseptic cream, medicines in case of upset tummy etc. Insect repellent. Towel (for trekking part of tour). Torch Small alarm clock Lightweight sealable bag (plastic or otherwise) if you would like to store clothes in the hotel prior to the trek (this is free). Five passport photographs and photocopy of passport for your trekking permit. If you decide to purchase a Nepalese Visa on arrival you will need an extra passport photograph (please see page Visas, insurance and health)
