Day Pack

Only pack the items on your gear list that you might need before moving on to your next campground. A modest to medium backpack with a volume capacity of up to 2000 cu in (30 liters) will suffice. The items to bring vary depending on the time it takes to get to camp and the trail, as well as the weather. Waterproof gear, extra clothing, water, snacks, gloves, hats, sunglasses, and other minor goods, such as bug repellant and sunscreen, are typically found inside a daypack. If you’re not sure what you’ll need, talk to your guide. (For more information, see How Should I Pack the Day Pack?) Everything else should go inside your duffel bag, which will be carried by the porters.

The duffel bag’s weight restriction is 15 kg. The duffel bag will be carried by the porters from one campsite to the next. Separate and waterproof your gear using plastic bags or dry bags. Each morning, you will be expected to pack your daypack and duffel bag. It’s worth noting that a backpack can be used instead of a duffel bag. A duffel bag is popular because porters bundle the bag with other items and carry the burden on their heads.
