some of the necessary clothing to carry

Shirts

Always pack along a long-sleeve shirt, even if you're headed to a warm climate. As with long pants, a long-sleeve shirt will protect you from sun, bugs and rain. Some considerations:

·         Knit shirts are stretchy, comfortable and available in many styles; woven shirt typically button up the front and have vents to keep cool.

·         Look for synthetic or merino wool shirts. Cotton is recommended only for casual activities or warm, dry climates.

·         Fitness tops can work well for travel, too, especially in warm climates because they wick moisture to keep you cool.

Pants/Shorts/Skirts/Dresses

Shorts, skirts and dresses are the obvious choice when traveling to a warm or tropical destination. But keep in mind that long pants will better protect you from sun, bugs and rain. And, as mentioned above, you might need to wear them for cultural reasons, too.

Convertible pants have legs that easily zip off to turn into shorts. These are a great space-saving option.

Gore-tex jacket

·         Waterproof/breathable shells such as Gore-Tex^®, eVent^® and REI Elements^® are your best choice for a range of weather and activities. If you layer your clothing, a single shell can handle both summer breezes and winter storms. However, these jackets are more expensive than other rainwear.

·         Water-resistant/breathable shells repel wind and light rain while providing excellent breathability when you're active. They are less bulky and less expensive than other shells, but are not intended for significant rain.

Hats

Bring a hat based on your destination and the expected conditions.

·         Rain hats feature a wide brim, waterproof/breathable construction and a chin strap. They also double as good sun protection.

·         Sun hats are usually cotton or nylon for breathability and have grommets or mesh for ventilation. Some styles feature a skirt or cape to keep sun off your neck, ears and temples.

·         Casual hats include ball caps and trekking hats. Trekking hats have a wider brim and provide better protection from sun and rain.

Underwear and Socks

The same fabric rules apply for underwear and socks: A synthetic fabric, such as REI MTS polyester, will be easier to care for than cotton, while merino wool, such as Smartwool brand products, offers natural breathability and comfort. When choosing socks, consider that synthetics and wool can help prevent blisters by keeping feet drier than cotton socks do.

How to Buy Trekking Gear in Kathmandu

Kathmandu, Nepal, is the site of Tribhuvan International Airport, the gateway to the country for most travelers. Hundreds of shops cater to trekkers, selling new and used equipment and buying back gear that hikers don't want to carry home. The amount and type of gear you need depends on whether you'll be day tripping, camping overnight or heading out on a guided expedition. Trekkers need to carry the same things they'd carry on a hike anyplace else, such as personal hygiene items and medications, in addition to a few specialized pieces of equipment. Knowing what to buy is as important as knowing where to buy it.

What to Buy

Step 1

Choose the right clothing. What you buy depends on what time of year you're trekking. For trekking in winter to Himalaya you need to wear light weight super down  jacket in around city also you need down jacket which keep you warm and protect from cold.You can wear Windstopper as well in Kathmandu on the day.But in snowing down jacket is not enough its not a 100% waterproof so at that time better to take over 3-layer Gore Tex to protect from water and snow. Same as to keep warm your leg you have to take fleece trouser or thermal trouser inside and Windstopper trouser to protect from wind but in snow you need to wear waterproof trouser.

Step 2

Buy two pairs of shoes for trekking around Kathmandu. All-leather hiking boots with good ankle support are essential for rocky terrain. Flexible trekking shoes with a sturdy sole are good for easy terrain. Buy both cotton and thermal socks for changes in temperature.Just to walk around city you can use normal whichever you fell comfort.But for trekking you need water proof with gore tex.

Step 3

Purchase a sun hat or cotton scarf for sunny days and a warm, winter(woolen/fleece ) hat that covers your ears for cold days and evenings.you can take neck warmer to keep warm your neck for cod day. Pick up a headlamp worn on an elastic band around the forehead in case you're out after dark.

Step 4

Stop by a bookstore for guidebooks if you're trekking alone, although it's possible to trek around Kathmandu without a guidebook if you have a compass and a good sense of direction because the hiking paths are so well-used.

Step 5

Assemble a medical kit with anti-diarrhea medicine, water-treatment tablets and water filter, analgesics, sunscreen, lip balm, bug spray, upset-stomach pills and a blister kit. Add any other products, such as a cough or cold medicine, that you're accustomed to taking on a hike.

Step 6

Select a collapsible hiking/trekking pole.its helps you even you are tired with balance and glacier sunglasses with side shields.

Step 7

If you will have stove in hiking you can have hot food in cold season. Most day trekkers carry noodles, dried fruit, nuts and energy bars. Overnight trekkers carry the same foods during the daytime and have their main meal when they've arrived at their overnight lodging or campsite. Buy a one-liter water bottle and refill it with purified water as you hike.

Step 8

Select a sleeping bag rated to keep campers warm in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit for an overnight trek. A sleeping mat for under the bag is optional. A medium to large backpack (60 to 80 liters) should suffice on all but the longest treks. Pick up a lightweight (well under six lbs.), four-season tent for chilly evenings. Dome-shaped tents, although easier to stand in, present a higher profile in windy areas. Keep your gear dry in a stuff sack or heavy-duty garbage bags.

Where to Buy

Step 1

Shop for new and used clothing, tents and sleeping bags in Thamel, Kathmandu's main tourist district. Outfitters and expedition companies line the streets. V-tex international (trekkingequipments.com) carries new outerwear, sleeping bags and backpacks.v-tex has been offering gear and gear repair since its established in 2011 V-tex international carries a full line of trekking gear, including clothing, tents, shoes and tools.

Step 2

Pick up guidebooks at Pilgrims Book House (pilgrimsbooks.com), a huge new and used bookstore in Thamel with 250,000 titles spread over 30 rooms. The store carries an extensive collection of guides for trekkers as well as guides to neighboring countries. An adjacent restaurant serves Ayurvedic vegetarian foods.

Step 3

Pick up trekking food at any of a number of shops in Kathmandu. Bhat-Bhateni Supermarket the largest in Kathmandu, provides a one-stop spot for trekking food, but the store is in an out-of-the-way area. Best Shopping Centre  is a small store in a more convenient location in Thamel.

TIPS

·         Sign up for a trekking expedition if you're uncomfortable about making your own way through the countryside.

·         Some border crossings have a money-exchanging facilities, but if you plan to trek into remote areas of Nepal, don't expect to find a place to exchange your money for local currency.

·         Many stores in Kathmandu also accept American dollars, pounds sterling and the euro.

·         Stores in larger cities accept credit cards, and some ATMs allow cash advances against credit cards.

·         Travelers who leave from Tribhuvan can trade their rupees for dollars.

·         Remember that boots must be broken in before you wear them, so consider buying them at home and breaking them in there.

·         Consider buying a pair of sandals for wearing around the campsite or other overnight accommodations.

·         Many trekkers who only plan to spend a few nights outdoors use a lightweight tarp instead of a tent for protection at night.

·         Travelers on long treks typically have porters who carry extra water, food and supplies.

WARNINGS

·         If you're planning an overnight trek, you must get a climbing permit in most areas and hire a climbing Sherpa.

·         Overnight treks may stop at teahouses and other indoor lodging along the way. Take this into consideration when buying gear.

·         Don't plan on using sleep aids on a trek near Kathmandu. They depress respiration in high altitudes.
