Packing for the Kanchenjunga Trek
August 29, 2024 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 16 ⚊ BLOGPacking for the Kanchenjunga Trek means getting ready for a challenging and rewarding adventure. Start with layering clothes to handle varying temperatures, including moisture-wicking base layers, a warm fleece, a down jacket for colder weather, and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Bring sturdy, waterproof trekking boots and a pair of comfortable shoes or sandals for relaxing. A good backpack (40-50 liters) will carry your daily essentials, and a warm sleeping bag is needed for chilly nights. Don’t forget a headlamp with extra batteries, a basic first aid kit, water purification tablets, sunscreen, lip balm, and hand sanitizer. Pack toiletries like biodegradable soap, a quick-dry towel, and personal items like a toothbrush and toothpaste. Energy snacks such as nuts, dried fruits, and energy bars will keep you fueled, and instant coffee or tea can be comforting. Include a camera, power bank, trekking poles, and a waterproof cover for your backpack.
