While fitness is the most important factor for a trek to be successful, packing the right stuff, a close second! Before packing for any trek, it is important to consider a few factors such as the climate expected at the trek, the essential stuff to be carried and what all can be bought locally.
And all this stands true for the
annapurna circuit too. It is important to carry only the items that are extremely essential even if you are hiring a porter or a guide since it requires extreme efforts to carry high luggage at such altitudes.
We list here a few items that are a must carry on the Annapurna Circuit Trek. It is worth mentioning here that a lot of hiking items can be bought at Kathmandu itself.
A random list of things you must carry on the Annapurna Circuit Trek
Packing basics
• If you are travelling alone to the Annapurna Trek, without hiring a porter or a guide, remember to pack a big rucksack that will pack it all for you. But what it is important to check here is that it must have a good back support with a strap ...
... at the waist for that extra comfort.
• A waterproof bag to keep all your essentials dry and safe is next on the list. It will be a savior for not just the clothes but other items such as camera and important documents on a rainy day.
