Things to Carry
1. Backpack (55 - 65 L) with sturdy straps and supporting frame. Quechua Forclaz 60 is a good choice.
2. Daypack (20-25 L) - optional. Useful for summit/pass day, handy if you want to offload your backpack on the trek.
3. Trekking shoes - Sports shoes are an absolute NO in trekking. You need Traction on Snow and Sport Shoes with PVC soles hardly justifies the choice. Ensure the shoes are well used before the trek. Forclaz 500 and Woodland are good choices.
4. 3 pairs of track pants (at least one should be synthetic quick-dry kind). Or 3 pairs of cotton pants with lots of pockets. Track pants are light and we highly recommend them. Plus when things get really cold then layers of clothes matter.
5. 3 cotton t-shirt with collar. Avoid bright colors like reds and fluorescents. Stick to lighter tones. There are plenty of Birds and Animals one would come across while trekking and you won't want them to get scared with your dressing sense.
