For Nepal peak climbing, pack essential gear including a harness, helmet, ice axe, and crampons, along with layered clothing like thermal base layers, fleece mid-layers, and waterproof/windproof outer shells. Don't forget mountaineering boots, a first-aid kit, and high-UV sunglasses. Personal hygiene items like hand sanitizer, biodegradable soap, and a small towel are also crucial.

Gear and equipment
  • Climbing gear: Harness, helmet, ice axe, carabiners, and crampons are essential for safety. 
  • Footwear: Sturdy, insulated mountaineering boots (B3-rated for high altitude) and high-quality trekking or climbing socks are necessary. 
  • Navigation and safety: A headlamp with extra batteries and a first-aid kit are crucial. 
  • Other essentials: Bring a sleeping bag, water bottles, and purification tablets. 
Clothing (layering is key)
  • Base layers: 
    Thermal tops and bottoms made of moisture-wicking material like merino wool. 
  • Mid-layers: 
    Fleece jackets or pullovers. 
  • Outer layers: 
    A waterproof and windproof hardshell jacket and pants, along with a warm down or insulated jacket for high-altitude cold. 
  • Handwear: 
    Lightweight liner gloves and insulated, waterproof outer gloves or mittens. 
  • Headwear: 
    A warm beanie, a wide-brimmed sun hat, and a balaclava or neck gaiter are critical for warmth and sun protection.
Personal items
  • Sun protection: High-UV sunglasses and lip balm with SPF are essential to protect against the intense mountain sun. 
  • Hygiene: Pack toiletries like toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, biodegradable soap, and a quick-drying travel towel. 
  • Documents: Ensure you have your passport, necessary permits, and insurance papers. 
  • Medications: Carry any personal medications and a comprehensive first-aid kit. 
  • Other personal items: Nail clippers, snacks, and moisturizing cream can be very useful.
