Things to get
1. Backpack (55 - 65 L) with sturdy straps and supporting frame + Daypack (20L) -- optional. Required if you want to offload your backpack on the trek.
2. Trekking shoes – no sports shoes. You need traction on snow and sport shoes with their PVC soles are hardly the choice. Ensure the shoes are well broken in before the trek.
3. 3 track pants or cotton trousers (at least one should be synthetic (quick-dry) kind). Track pants are light and we highly endorse them. Plus when things get cold you can wear one over the other.
4. 3 cotton tees with collar. No bright colors like reds and fluorescents. Stick with lighter tones.
5. 2 Full sleeve light sweaters or 2 fleece jackets.
6. A full sleeve thick jacket or something similar.
7. 1 pair of thermal inners (useful when we are on snow) but optional.
8. 3-4 pair of usual sports socks, at least one woolen pair. Woolen socks are to be worn inside the tent at night to keep the feet warm.

10. Trekking pole is mandatory.
11. A poncho or a light rain coat (to escape a quick burst of rain).
12. Woolen hand gloves + synthetic glove (water proof).
13. Sun glasses – curved ones will cover your eyes well. No blue coloured sunglass — they don’t block UV. Blacks, greens, browns are fine. Avoid multi tone sunglasses. Sunglasses prevent snow blindness.Sunglasses are mandatory for this trek.
14. Light towel (should be thin, quick drying kind).
15. Chapstick or lip balm.
16. Cold cream & sun screen lotion (SPF 40+). While sun screen help prevent sun burns, a better option is to stay covered.
17. 2 Water bottles (1 L each). Do not get any packaged water bottle like Bisleri, Aquafina and others.
18. Carry a plate, spoon and coffee mug.
19. Torch with 2 extra set of cells. Buy LED torches. They last longer, are more durable and give good light.
20. Personal toilet kit (minimal) & toilet paper.
21. Personal medical kit.
22. Some trekkers feel loss of energy more than others. While there is adequate food provided on the trek, carry lots of dry fruit combinations as snacks.
23. Camera, spare films/memory-cards, batteries etc.
24. While packing, use plastic bags to compartmentalize things and carry few extra plastic bags.
25. Slippers (for walking around campsite).

NOTE
• Leave your denims behind – these are ill suited for treks and add weight.
• Snacks, colas, alcohol and personal food – No need to overburden yourself with food.
• Do not carry any disposable plastic bottles like (Bisleri, Aquafina), plastic wrapped/packaged items. Do not bring any non bio degradable material.
• Don’t get any sleeping bags. We are going to carry high altitude sleeping bags with us. We would also be carrying Alpine tents, ice-axes, and other equipment required for such treks.
• After packing, weigh your gear. It should be in the range of 8-9 kg – preferably on the lighter side. Anything heavier, you will need to iterate and remove what is not essential.
• Carry light and what is essential. As an example, toothpaste should be bought in small size (that can last you 10 days). Do not plan for "if" situations. The list of things mentioned here are exactly what you need and nothing more.

And now some general idea about clothing…
Dressing in layers is the mantra. So two T-shirts worn one over the other is warmer than a T shirt that is thick. This is just a guideline. Mileage vary based on your physical condition, threshold to cold etc.

1. An identification card (like driving license, voters ID card etc), along with a photocopy.
