What we provide
You don't need to carry the heavy things. A tent stay already includes:
- Blankets and sleeping bags
- Dinner, morning tea, hot breakfast, and lunch with a tent stay
- Tents, and shared toilet and washing facilities (hot water in the mornings)
Bring for the night
- Warm layers — temperatures drop sharply after dark, into single digits °C
- A torch or headlamp — mobile signal and light are limited at altitude
- Sturdy closed footwear
- A reusable water bottle
- Any personal medication, plus basic toiletries
Bring for the treks
If you're joining a guided trek, add these. The leech precautions matter on every trail, in every season — see the trekking guides for the full advisory.
- Full-length trousers and a long-sleeved shirt — leeches are present on the trails year-round
- Trekking boots with ankle support (no sandals or open footwear)
- A small bottle of hand sanitizer in an accessible pocket — the gentlest, most reliable way to detach a leech
- Warm layering: a moisture-wicking base, a fleece, and a windproof shell
- Trekking poles — recommended for the longer descents
- 1.5–2 L of water and high-energy snacks — there is no resupply on route
- Sunscreen — UV is strong at altitude despite the mist; DEET-based repellent as an extra deterrent
One thing to leave behind
Your noise-cancelling earphones. There's no Wi-Fi and barely any signal — intentionally. The quiet is the point. Not sure when to come? Read weather & seasons.
