Equipment needed depends largely upon
where, when and how one is trekking. The main emphasis
while trekking is on keeping warm and dry while still
being lightweight. For lower altitude, fleece jackets
and pants are adequate, while at higher altitudes down
jackets are advisable. Waterproof, wind-proof jackets
and pants, well broken-in footwear, bed covering are
also recommended. Good sleeping bags, sunglasses, drinking
water bottle, torchlight, sun block cream, toiletries,
first aid kit and a very good route map are other items
necessary. Cameras, on the other hand, are handy for
taking home memories.
