  • A well "broken-in" pair of good walking boots, comfortable and must have strong ankle support for walking on uneven terrain. We do not recommend borrowing or renting boots. It is a good idea to carry your boots in your hand luggage on international flights or wear them - should your luggage be delayed, your well broken in boots are the one thing which will be irreplaceable.
  • 3 to 4 pairs of properly padded hiking socks. They are most essentials making you a happy hiker!
  • Trainers or trekking sandals. Useful around camp, in towns and when traveling. You will need an old pair of trainers or sandals for crossing rivers in - they will get wet!
  • Waterproof jacket or waterproof poncho: which may be worn over the top of other clothing and covers the backpack as well. This is a very desirable item for keeping everything dry while hiking in wet weather.
  • Backpack: at least 60 liters is recommended plus sleeping bag and mat (about 12kg loaded) for an 8 day trek. It should be waterproof (or have a waterproof bag liner) and have good comfortable straps for extended trekking. Most of our trips will be supported by vehicles or packed animals to carry all the camping essentials. However, in certain of our trekking routes, tents and food will be divided among the group (including a cook and a guide). Camera equipment can be heavy so think carefully when deciding what to take. It is a good idea to pack your backpack as a trial before leaving for the trip. We would be happy to assist if you are unsure of how to pack your backpack for the trip.
  • Daypack and a money belt that preferably can be tucked inside your clothes.
  • Long warm pants/underpants
  • Warm hat and gloves, good socks or gaiters
  • Walking pole is highly recommended if you are joining a trekking tour!
  • On hot day: shorts, lightweight trousers, long sleeved cotton shirt, T-shirt and sun hat are required
  • Sleeping bag and foam mat/sleeping pad (Therm-a-rest or roll mat). We recommend 3-4 season sleeping bags. A cotton liner helps to keep your bag clean.
  • Personal hygiene items. As you are engaged in outdoor activities, it is recommended that you change regularly. Simple quick washing can be done at the end of most days and you need not bring too many of each item.
  • Water bottle with at least 1-liter capacity
  • Head torch with spare batteries and bulbs
  • Swim suit
  • Thermal undergarments and/or fiber-pile clothing
  • Insect repellent (OFF or Jungle Formula) and mosquito head net

  • Leisure reading
  • A box of Ziplock plastic bags to help keeping your equipment dry in the rain
