Nepal Trekking Equipment Guide

⚠️ Guide and Porter Issue I embarked on a solo trek of the Annapurna Circuit Trail (ACT) for 8 days, carrying a 13-kilogram backpack. I managed the first part of the journey without a guide or porter, but due to the increasing altitude and difficulty, I decided to hire a porter for the last two days through the homestay owner in Yak Kharka, at a rate of 4000 NPR per day. ⚠️ Accommodation I found accommodation by walking in and asking upon arrival. You can inquire if having breakfast and dinner at the same place can waive the accommodation fee. For most of the journey, around 90% of the time, this was possible because meals are relatively expensive. If the room doesn't have an en-suite bathroom, showers usually cost extra, around 100-200 NPR. ⚠️ Equipment Summary for Trekking in October October is the best season for trekking, with hot days and cool evenings. At higher altitudes, nights can get cold, so a down sleeping bag is recommended for those who are sensitive to the cold. 1️⃣ Clothing: Wool quick-dry base layers, one thin and one thick Wool leggings or yoga pants Two quick-dry sports bras Outdoor waterproof pants, both soft and hard shells Fleece jacket, one thin and one thick Down jacket Windproof jacket Disposable underwear Three pairs of wool socks of different thicknesses 2️⃣ Sleeping and Comfort Items: Lightweight, dirty-proof sleep sack (Nauco) inflatable travel pillow Raincoat Cold-weather hat and beanie Insulated cup Sunglasses Sun protection gloves, both thin and thick 3️⃣ Personal Care and Miscellaneous: Wet wipes, tissues, makeup remover wipes Disposable toilet seat covers Laundry tablets Hand soap tablets Hand cream Sunscreen Vitamin C effervescent tablets Electrolyte powder Medications #TrekkingGear #TrekkingGearList #NepalHiking #NepalACT #NepalACTTrekkingJourney #NepalTravelResidence #TravelResidenceLife #TrekkingRouteRecommendations #TrekkingGearShare #Nepal#Kathmandu
