When deciding what goes into your bag, it is important to check out the characteristics of the trek which you are going to undertake and the season/month in which you are coming to Nepal. The trekking packing list can make your trek best and sometimes worse if you do not pack all the things.
Important facts to consider before packing
Make sure you check these facts before packing your trekking bag.
- Weather condition (dry or wet season)
- Day time and night temperature
- Maximum altitude for the trek
- Characteristics and conditions of the trails
The weather in each trekking season in Nepal is unique so, knowing about what to expect in each season is the cherry on the cake.
The clothing and equipment to bring must be suitable for the trek and season. Tabulated below is a list of general items for your reference. Nevertheless, do keep in mind that:-
- Most trekking trails in Nepal are steep and some could be slippery; and
- Sometimes it gets freezing in the mountains at night and the temperature could fall below the freezing point even in spring or in autumn and depending on the altitude you are hiking at.
