What Do I need to BRING for this journey?
 

Footwear.
Hiking boots should have thick soles and be high enough to provide adequate ankle support. Consider Gore-Tex-Lined boots for treks during the rainy summer months. Optional: a pair of sandals or sneakers for crossing rivers and wearing in camping. 

Packs.
If you plan to backpack, use a pack with a wild, cushioned waist belt and thin shoulder straps that will comfortably support the weight. On commercial treks, you only need a day pack to carry your daily essentials and camping equipment. 35-40L 

Rain gear.
The raincoat should be roomy, preferably mid-thigh in length, and have a waterproof hood. Rain pants can double as wind pants. Gore-Tex or high-quality coasted nylon materials are best. 

Thermal underwear.
One or two pairs of long-sleeved tops and bottoms made from wool, polypropylene, or similar synthetic fiber. Short-sleeved thermal tops are good on cool days while trekking. 

Cotton underwear.
Two or three pairs of socks. At least 1 good pair of wool socks. 2-3 pairs of cotton socks. 

Pants.
At least 2 pairs of light trekking pants and not highly recommend wearing short pants in general during the trek in Tibet. 

Sweater.
Wool or wool mix with a high neck for extra warmth in the evening and mornings. 

Jacket.
A fibre pile jacket is ideal for trekking and evening in camp and an Outdoor water-proof jacket for harsh weather. 

Headgear. Cap for during the day trek to protect your face and neck from the strong sun. wool hat for the evenings and mornings 

T-shirts.
Two (at least one long-sleeve for protection from Sun).

Quick-dry pants.
Prepare at least 2 pairs. 

Walking stick.
Prepare a pair of foldable walking sticks. 

Water bottle.
Bring 1 or 2 bottles/ 1,5L or 2L.( We will boil water every morning before trek and evenings) 

Sunblock and Lip balm.
Sunblock rated 50 SPE or higher is best. Use zinc oxide for a total blackout. Lip balms prevent burning and chapping; toothpaste can be replaced if you run out. 

Sunglasses.
For Tibet’s bright, high-altitude sunlight. Dark glacier glasses with side hoods are necessary for the mountains and after fresh snowfalls.
