Notes!

Preparing for a mountain trekking adventure is crucial to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here is a comprehensive list of essential items you should bring:

Clothing

• Layered clothing: Include base layers, mid-layers, and outer layers to adapt to varying weather conditions.
• Waterproof jacket and pants: To stay dry during rain or wet conditions.
• Warm hat and gloves: To protect against the cold, especially at higher altitudes.
• Comfortable boots: Well-fitted and sturdy, preferably waterproof.
• Additional pair of shoes or sandals for leisure time
• Extra socks and underwear: Moisture-wicking and quick-drying options are best.

Gear

• Backpack: A durable and comfortable backpack with a capacity suitable for the length of your trek. Recommended weight maximum 10kg
• Sleeping bag: Suitable for the expected temperatures.
• Sleeping bag liner: Adds warmth and ensures cleanliness. We cannot give you 100% guaranty that mattresses at the Yurt Camps or Homestays will be ideally clean and meet your standards. That is why better to put your own inlet to these beds.
• Headlamp or flashlight: With extra batteries, for visibility at night.
• Multi-tool or knife: Useful for various tasks.

Food and Water

• Water bottles, water purification tablets or filter: For refilling from natural sources.
• High-energy snacks: Such as nuts, dried fruit, and energy bars – if needed

Safety

• First aid kit: Include bandages, antiseptics, pain relievers, and any personal medications.
• Personal hygiene items: Biodegradable soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, wet wipes and quick-dry towel
• Medications: Any personal medications, plus extras in case of delays. We are sometimes in very remote areas, so obtaining these items could be difficult.
• Sun protection: Sunscreen and lip balm with SPF, hat, sunglasses.
• Insurance: Travel insurance is not included in the tour package. It is highly recommended that clients have their own travel insurance to cover illness, injury, and loss or damage to personal belongings. In case of an emergency, the staff will do their best to assist and transport you to a hospital or another point of care. However, if you do not have insurance, you will be required to cover the charges yourself. Your insurance should also cover helicopter services and rescue/search operations in the mountains.

Miscellaneous

• Camera or smartphone: To capture the beautiful scenery.
• Power bank: To keep your electronic devices charged.
• Reusable bags: For carrying trash out of remote areas.

Remember, packing light is important, but make sure you have all the essentials to stay safe and comfortable during your horse trekking adventure. Enjoy the ride!
