What should I carry in my Day Pack?

You only need to carry items that you may need before reaching your next campsite. A small to medium sized backpack, with a volume capacity of up to 30 litres is ideal. The specific items to carry generally depend on the time to reach camp and trail and weather conditions. Typically, you will have inside your daypack: waterproof gear, extra clothing, camera, water, snacks, gloves, hat, sunglasses, and other small items, such as insect repellent and sun screen.

Everything else should be placed into your duffel bag, which the porters will carry. The weight limit of the duffel bag is 15 kgs. The porters will carry the duffel bag from campsite to campsite. Use plastic bags or dry bags to separate and water proof your gear. It is acceptable to use a backpack instead of a duffel bag. However, since porters bundle the bag with other items and carry the load on their heads/across their shoulders, a duffel bag is preferred.
