What to bring
- A small backpack to carry the items you need on the trail (e.g. lunch, snacks, water, extra layers and personal items) - single-size packs are available to borrow
- Wet weather gear in case of rain - a lightweight wind and waterproof jacket with a hood is recommended
- A large water bottle (guides carry additional water for topping up)
- Sturdy waterproof hiking boots with mid-to-high ankle support are a must due to the uneven terrain; to avoid blisters, boots should be comfortable and worn in
- Spare socks (wool or thermal blend) and underwear
- Comfortable, layered hiking clothing – we recommend long loose-fitting clothing for sun and wind protection and to shield your legs and arms from stray branches
- Beanie or woollen hat and gloves (especially between late autumn and early spring May-Sep)
- Long pants – waterproof or quick-dry material is advised (not cotton or denim)
- Small towel and swimsuit if you intend to swim on the track (optional)
- Walking poles if you prefer to use them
- Change of clothes and lightweight shoes/sandals for evenings at the lodges and dining out
- Sleepwear
- Sun protection, including a peaked or brimmed hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses
- Prescription glasses and/or any medication you may require (including an EPI pen)
- Personal toiletries in small containers, including insect repellent, blister pack and sports tape
- Your camera and/or mobile phone, chargers, a small torch, and spare batteries
- Bank card (or preferred device) for purchasing personal items and incidentals
