CHECKLIST
What clothing and equipment to take is normally caused for more consideration than any other aspect of preparing for an adventure travel trip.

Also bare in mind trekking gear can be bought in the many adventure shops in Katmandu, the majority of gear is locally manufactured (hence a lot cheaper) although it is becoming more common for gear to be imported from China and therefore of better quality.
