Rain/Snowfall is common and varies one trek to another in different seasons.

Apart from the above, everybody have some different needs and choices of his own, so add them to the list. Remember to take medicines, if you are taking any on regular basis. Actually, on trek, the foremost task is not looks but ‘to protect yourself’ from weather, fatigue, HAS, cramps etc.

In our opinion, after getting introduced, it is only you who peep upon yourself, nobody else. And then, it is not the branded or costlier stuff you wear, rather your will to help others, behavior and attitude towards your fellow trekkers, which makes a mark upon the group.

It is well said by one trekker “The dirtiest trekker is the best Trekker”. So stick to the basics, Leave fashion and carry the rucksack as lighter as you can. It would not be more than 5 Kg ideally, and in case you think that you would hire a porter, it will cost about approx Rs. 500-700 per day. Again, choice is yours.

P.S.: You may use and share common kit for toiletries and medicines if travelling in a group.
