Layering, footwear and the small things travellers always forget — a tried-and-tested packing list.
Layer, don't bulk
Mountain weather swings fast. A base layer, a fleece and a windproof shell beat one heavy coat every time, and pack down far smaller.
Footwear matters
Broken-in walking shoes with grip. For the Tiger's Nest or Aru Valley, your knees will thank you for proper soles.
The easily forgotten
High-SPF sunscreen and lip balm (the high-altitude sun is fierce), a reusable water bottle, basic medication, and copies of your permits and ID.
