What Should I Pack for Cold Mornings, Sunny Afternoons and Wet Days at Kailash?

Shivalaya Holidays Pvt. Ltd.

Pack layers you can change without unpacking your main bag. A cold, windy morning can give way to intense sun and later precipitation. Choose clothing for the exposed walking day and an overnight in basic lodging as well as for the city arrival.

Keep these items accessible

Carry a warm layer, windproof and waterproof outer layer, gloves, sun hat, sunglasses, sun protection, water and permitted personal medicines. Test your boots with your trekking socks before travelling. Keep a dry pair of socks and an extra warm layer protected inside your bag.

Separate city and trail luggage

Ask whether you can store city clothes at the starting hotel, especially on a route that finishes in a different city. Put documents and necessities for a delayed overnight in the bag that stays with you. Helicopter-linked groups should weigh their packed bags against the confirmed allowance for both Nepal air sectors.
