What to Pack for Your First Himalayan Trek

Packing for a Himalayan trek is an art of balance - you need everything to stay safe and warm, but every gram counts on the trail. **The Layering System**: - Base Layer: Moisture-wicking synthetic fabrics. - Mid Layer: Fleece or down jacket for insulation. - Outer Layer: Waterproof and windproof shell. **Footwear**: Don't compromise on your boots. Ensure they are broken in well before the trek to avoid blisters. **Extras**: - High-quality sunglasses (Category 4). - Sunscreen and lip balm with high SPF. - Personal first-aid kit.
