* It is recommended that trekkers bring their own personal sleeping bag as bags available may not be warm enough. A four seasons sleeping bag is recommended.
TREKKERS TIPS:
It is a good idead to line all rucksacks and duffel bags with a large polythene bag and the contents into small individual polythene bags.
It is also advisable to have a small day sack to carry your raincoat, camera, packed lunch and items of a personal nature.
GREAT IDEA: A poncho is a good idea as it covers you and your day sack keeping everything dry if it rains.
