Gear for Trekking Nepal

I’d add one more small but essential piece of gear to your list for anyone trekking to base camp: lotion! With the dry air and the sniffles it causes, your hands and especially your nose get REALLY dry. At least mine did. Every evening I’d slather on the skin lotion. My trek-mates all had dry, cracked nostrils by the end of the trip. Mine were soft and supple… :)

Alcohol gel in a small bottle at the hip belt is important to help avoid gut bugs. It made a big difference for us after it was introduced compared to friends trekking the year before.

Is that a Gear Junkie Buff?? I’m also curious as to which Duofold you used….

I went to Makalu base camp 18 years ago, one of the greatest trips of my life. No problem with dust. Like you, I should’ve left the boots at home (mine actually were stolen on the return and I walked 3 days through the mountains barefoot!). Two of us carried our own packs, 2 porters carried food, 1 cook carried the kitchen stuff and there was a guide carrying his own gear. Backpack weight was the biggest problem. I often wonder whether I could do it with a pair of barefoot-style shoes such as the Merrills you just wrote about, if I kept my overall load light. Maybe next time.

Scott — Yes, a GJ Buff! Re Duofold, we used the Varitherm wool hybrid base layers. Great tops/bottoms and good price (about $40, as compared to twice as much from other wool base-layer makers).

Recently we returned from a four-day trek with a friend in the Annapurna Himalayan range. Boasting spectacular scenery, rugged terrain and extremely welcoming locals, I’ve never visited another place on earth like Annapurna.
Helping us get the most out of our trek was our friendly and knowledgeable guide Sanjib Adhikari, a specialist trekking guide and expedition organizer based in Thamel, the bustling heart of Kathmandu. He skillfully guided us across treacherous mountain passes, pointed out the rich variety of flora we passed and, in the evening after hiking, served our meals and played cards with us.
Knowing that there are quite a few other less capable and experienced guides than Sanjib, I’d certainly recommend him to other trekkers. His website is: www.nepalguideinfo.com
