Necessary Equipments

During the trek, you could see many trekkers wearing expensive outdoor fashion equipment, but we recommend you prepare comfortable and durable equipment. Trekking equipment is essential for anyone planning outdoor adventures, whether it's a day hike or a multi-day expedition. Below is a list of names of crucial equipment.

 

Cloth of trekkers,

  • Down Jacket: You could rent one in Kathmandu if you don’t have one.
  • Thermal Baselayer Set: It is your second skin; bring the best quality (2 sets)
  • Fleece Pullover Hoodie: keeps you warm even if moisture condenses on the inside when it rains.
  • Lightweight Thermal Tops: It is comfortable when you don’t use a base layer
  • Waterproof Jacket and paints: recommended for water, rain, and snowproof (in case of bad weather)
  • Hiking Shorts: At lower altitudes and under the sun, it can be comfortable
  • Hiking T-Shirt: For lower altitudes
  • Hiking Pants: Lightweight, quick-drying pants (no jeans, please)
  • Gloves: It is recommended to bring two pairs, a light one and a heavyweight water/windproof
  • Sports Bra for Her: A good sports bra is recommended when you are hiking
  • Sports underwear: Quick-dry
  • Woolen Hat: This is handy when it’s getting cold in the evening and morning.
  • Sunhat: It just protects from the Sun
  • Microfleece Buff: I recommend bringing two, as it is useful for either low-altitude or higher-altitude

 

Footwear Gears,

  • Hiking Boots: Ankle support, waterproof (running shoes are not recommended)
  • Sandals or Running Shoes: In the mornings and in the evenings in the teahouse (running shoes or even sandals will be fine)

  • Inner Socks: You could wear thin inner socks to support your hiking socks.

 

Trekking gear,

  • Snow gaiters: in case of bad weather and snowing
  • Duffle Bag: Waterproof and about 70L. We recommend this only if you are going to use Porter. Unique Sherpa Trek will provide a duffel bag.
  • Rucksack with Rain Cover: If you plan to carry your stuff during the trek, we recommend you bring a comfortable (back support) 50 to 60L rucksack with rain cover.
  • Daypack with Rain Cover: Whether you use a porter or not, a day pack is necessary for your trekking trip in Nepal. Recommended daypack size is 25 to 30L with rain cover.
  • Trekking Poles: It is optional, but if you know how to use them, then they can help your knees and joints.
  • Sleeping Bag: Recommended at least for -20 DC, Unique Sherpa Trek will be provided at our pre-meeting if you don’t have your own (if you book the trip with us)
  • Sleeping Bag Liner: If you are planning to rent a sleeping bag, it is strongly recommended to bring your liner

Reliable, friendly, and kind My grandfather and I went on the ABC and the poon Hill trek. We met lakpa two days before we made it on the trek, and from the first meeting, we felt that he was friendly, reliable, and responsible. And he was like that all the way. He is a funny and easy-going guy. And for every question we had, about the trek, just facts about Nepal, and more, he always answered happily and had a lot of knowledge about many things. See more

Lakpa and Co. - The best guides you can find in Nepal Oct 2024 • Friends Unique Sherpa Trek and the team behind it, headed by Lakpa Sherpa, the legend, deserve every kin... Lakpa and Co. - The best guides you can find in Nepal Oct 2024 • Friends Unique Sherpa Trek and the team behind it, headed by Lakpa Sherpa, the legend, deserve every kind word you throw at them. We received well beyond the standard guidance during our stay in Nepal -- airport to airport -- not just during the trek itself, and Lakpa and Co. made sure none of our questions remained unanswered, and fears remained unaddressed. We had a custom itinerary set up for beginners which included visits to Kathmandu, Pokhara, a 5-day trek round the Annapurna mountain region with stays at rustic, authentic villages along the way which ended with a triumphant ascent at the break of dawn to Poon Hill at 3200m with a stunning sunrise view of the nearby mountain range consisting of Annapurna and Machapuchare, followed by a few days of sightseeing and Mad Max style Jeep rides in the nearby Gandaki Gorge area with visits to Marpha, Kagbeni and an ascent to the holy temple overseeing the town of Muktinath at 3800m, and even snuck in half a day of rafting in the shallow parts of Kali Gandaki on our trip back to Kathmandu. I will forever remain grateful to the team for watching over us and keeping us from doing anything stupid, all while being so hospitable and serving as the best ambassadors of the Nepali people. With their endless variety of treks and expeditions offered on their website across all skill levels, I know that if I'm ever back in Nepal, I'll have one less thing to worry about when planning my next perfect vacation.
