Trekking Equipment

A condition of soldier without gun and a trekkers without Trekking Equipment are same. It means there is no any sense or there cannot be a trek without proper trekking equipment. Trekking equipment play 75% role on succession of  the trip. So a trekker should be properly equipped for their journey.

Adventure lovers have to take very good care of their things because without the helping materials they could not entertain the trek and on the other hand they might face several obstacles. Trekking in Nepal is trekking around the Himalayan areas and they are above 2500 meters. The live over the mountains is not easy, cold weather, poor accommodation (not big hotel) and walking ups and downs is really challenging job. Sometimes, the trekkers might not get enough hygienic food items, and it may arouse the big trouble during their trip.
