We hope this video helps you plan your own Himalayan trek 🫶🏻 Since we’ve been traveling around Egypt and Sri Lanka, we came to Nepal with almost NOTHING for a 10-day trek. So we did something we ALMOST NEVER DO as budget travelers… WE WENT SHOPPING! We heard through the grapevine that trekking shops in Kathmandu had great prices and tons of options soooo... here's our full gear haul for a 10 day trek through Langtang Valley 😱 ↓ FULL GEAR HAUL / PACKING LIST ↓ 🧤CLOTHES THAT WE BOUGHT: Puffer Vest Base layer Buff/balaclava Waterproof/lightweight shorts Fleece lined pants (for higher elevation) Fleece quarter zip Dry-fit t shirt Knit hat (cashmere/wool blend) Fleece or wool headband Trekking socks (wool) 🩹 OTHER NECESSITIES (Medicine, Utilities, etc) Trekking Poles Aqua Tabs Electrolyte packs Altitude sickness meds (Diamox) Nalgene/lightweight water bottle Toilet paper Climbing-grade Carabiner Sunscreen (SPF 50+) Vapor rub Baby wipes Peanut butter Trekking journal Solar power battery charger 🤟🏻 RENTAL ITEMS: Down jackets Gloves Headlamps (with new batteries) Hiking Boots ***GENERAL TIP: Merino wool shirts and lightweight, quick dry zip-off pants are highly recommended for trekking.
