2. What to pack

2. What to Pack:

Ok, this is a major issue since we'll walk all the way with what we pack so be very minimalistic here. Your rucksack shouldn't weigh more than 10-11 kilos, max 12. Other than what you are already wearing, do pack these:

a.Survival Kit
Torch (importance of this cannot be over emphasized)
Batteries (4 pairs)
Candles (cover these or else you have wax on everything later!)
Matches -at least 2
Plastic Water Bottle
Swiss knife / pen knife
Whistle
Sweets -so your mouth stays wet. Do not drink too much water along the way (we ended up giving most of our sweets to the kids on the way)
Compass (hardly used, but keep 'em)
Soap
Mug
Toilet paper
Washing soap bar
Big plastic sheet (cover from the rain, sittiing down somewhere, dumping your stuff on it...)

b.Medical Kit
Band Aid - 10
Cotton - 1 small roll
Gauze 5-6
Savlon (in the plastic bottle)
Odomos
Brufen
Iodex Spray
Elastic Bandage
Sunscreen
Moisturizer
Disprin

c.Clothes
3 t-shirts
2 full sleeve shirts
1 multi-pocket trouser (not jeans)
1 track suit with inner lining
1 sweater
1 jacket
4 underwears
1 towel
2 hankies
1 pair floaters
Sleeping bag

d.Food (per person)
Although food is available all along the route, do keep an emergency stock of these. This will take another bag full; your tent being another bag full. Our porters carried these.
10 Maggi
5 channa packs
10 chocolates
10 soups packs
10 single drink flavoured sachets (C-sip)
tea bags
milk powder
sugar
small 1 litre steel vessel

Few tips:
Do not attempt to walk the mountains in the dark. You porters will know best about where and when to set up camp and will guide you. Do have a proper breakfast. The initial climb for an hour is strenous after which you will pick up a rythm and the stamina will kick in. Do invest in good trek shoes. The grip works well on ice where normal sport shoes don't help. Go for Lotus Bawa, Woodland. If you've got the dosh, then go for Salomon, Cats, Nike.

Good Luck! Don't hurry the trek. Enjoy every step of the way. Admire and observe the environment and surroundings. You'll get used to it very soon, but will remember and cherish a lot when you're back home.
