Layered Clothing

Bring moisture-wicking base layers, insulating mid-layers, and a waterproof outer layer to stay warm and dry across different altitudes.

Hiking Boots

Invest in sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good ankle support. Make sure they’re broken in to avoid blisters on the trek.

Staying hydrated is key. Bring water bottles or a hydration bladder that can hold at least 3 liters, along with purification tablets or filters.

Trekking poles help with stability and reduce strain on your knees during steep ascents and descents.
