At Himalayan Adventure Intl Treks, we strive to ensure your trekking experience is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We recommend utilizing your own gear whenever feasible to guarantee familiarity and personal comfort. However, we understand that acquiring certain items may not always be practical due to cost constraints. Rest assured, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
Duffel Bags
Upon attending the pre-trek briefing, you will receive a spacious duffel bag designated for your personal use throughout the trek. It is imperative to transfer your equipment into this bag for portability. If you opt to travel with your own duffel bag, feel free to bring it along. Please note that suitcases are not suitable for trekking and must be securely stored at the pre-trek hotel until your return.
While we do not offer gear rental, Kathmandu boasts numerous rental outlets where you can procure necessary equipment. We can gladly provide recommendations upon request. However, it is essential to exercise caution and thoroughly inspect any rented gear for quality assurance, as we do not assume responsibility for the condition of hired equipment. Below is an estimate of rental costs:
Please plan accordingly if you intend to rent equipment, considering the operating hours of rental shops, typically closing around 8 pm. Ensure ample time for gear acquisition, especially if arriving late the day before the trek commences.
Keep in mind that all rented equipment contributes to your overall trekking bag weight. Therefore, factor this into your packing arrangements. On average, a sleeping bag weighs approximately 2kg.

Equipment Checklist
Other Essentials
As you prepare for your journey with Himalayan Adventure Intl Treks, we kindly remind you of a few important formalities and health considerations to ensure a safe and seamless experience in the majestic landscapes of Nepal.
Passport: Before embarking on your adventure, please double-check that your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date in Nepal. We recommend keeping a separate photocopy of your passport, which can be invaluable in case the original is misplaced during your travels. Remember to carry your passport with you at all times during the trek, as it is required for internal flights.
Visa: For most visitors, obtaining a tourist visa is a necessary step for entry into Nepal. You can either secure your visa online prior to departure or opt for a visa on arrival at Kathmandu Tribhubhan International Airport. To expedite the immigration process and avoid any complications, we highly recommend obtaining your visa in advance. Please ensure your passport has at least one blank visa page and that you have the necessary funds in your preferred currency for the visa fee. Certain nationalities may need to apply for a visa in advance, so it's wise to check with your local Nepalese Embassy or online.
Vaccinations: Prioritize your health by ensuring you are up to date with standard vaccinations such as diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid, and hepatitis A. While these are typically recommended, consulting with your doctor or travel clinic for personalized advice is crucial. Additionally, if your itinerary includes regions below 1,500m, particularly areas like the Terai district, where malaria risk exists, consider preventive measures and medication as advised by healthcare professionals.
Insurance: It is imperative to have comprehensive travel insurance coverage throughout your journey. Verify that your insurance policy includes all planned activities, excursions, and destinations, along with essential coverage for cancellation and medical expenses. For treks in the Annapurna and Everest Regions, we suggest coverage up to altitudes of 6000m, with higher coverage required for peak climbs such as Mera Peak or Island Peak.
Health: Altitude sickness, or Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), is a concern at higher elevations. Our routes are designed to facilitate acclimatization, but it's essential to listen to your body and follow recommended practices such as maintaining a steady pace, staying hydrated, and recognizing symptoms of AMS. While Diamox can aid in acclimatization, it should be taken before the trek as a preventive measure, not as a remedy once symptoms appear. Hydration is key at high altitudes, so aim to drink at least 3 liters of fluids daily, even if you don't feel thirsty.
Your well-being is our priority, and we are committed to ensuring you have a memorable and safe adventure with Himalayan Adventure Intl Treks. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our team.
