10. Shop for Proper Trek Gear

Your trip is booked and you are counting down the days! Now it is time to shop for proper trekking gear!

Please be aware of our weight limits!  In order to manage the loads of our porters, we limit each trekker to 15kg or 33lbs of gear INCLUDING the sleeping bag. This is the total weight of gear you are allowed to give to your porter to carry.

If you bring more gear you can certainly pay for another porter but we strongly discourage this in order to keep our team size small so we have less impact on the fragile mountain environment.

We will weigh your gear during the gear inspection and at the trailhead.

Step 2. Order our 2-hour DVD from Amazon and watch the section on packing (from the DVD Menu on disk 1)
Step 3. Look at our rental information page. We recommend you rent the bulky items from us.
