Himalayan Packing List Generator

Start with a base layer, add warmth when you stop, and keep a protective outer layer within reach. Keep a dry set for the evening. Ask your guide about the forecast and overnight conditions for your route before choosing your warmer gear.

Carry your documents, regular medicines, water, sun care, rain protection, a warm layer and headlamp with you. Put spare clothes and bulky sleeping gear in your main bag. Check transport arrangements for sharp tools and any restricted equipment.

Prepare for altitude as well as packing your warm layers. Speak with a qualified clinician before altitude travel, and review acclimatization and emergency plans with your guide. Follow qualified advice for prescription medicines and oxygen systems. Read the CDC’s altitude travel advice

Keep power banks and spare lithium batteries in your cabin bag with the terminals protected. Check each airline’s current limits on capacity, quantity and use, including domestic flights. Use your confirmed baggage allowance when you check your packing weight. Read IATA’s dangerous goods guidance

Ask our team what your package includes and what you need to arrange. Inspect rented gear and try it on before leaving. Check boot fit and technical equipment compatibility with your guide. For religious visits, pack clothing that covers shoulders and knees and follow local dress and photography rules.

Pack broken-in trekking boots, trekking socks, quick-drying tops and trousers, thermal layers, a fleece, a down jacket, a waterproof jacket and trousers, a warm hat, gloves and a sun hat. Add UV-protective sunglasses, sunscreen, a headlamp with spare power, reusable water bottles, toiletries, personal medicines and blister supplies. Keep water, snacks, rain gear, a warm layer and valuables in your daypack; protect spare clothes and sleeping gear in dry bags.

You also need a sleeping bag suited to your overnight stops. Check its warmth with our team for your departure. An ordinary Everest Base Camp trek does not need a technical climbing kit; your guide should advise on traction if snow or ice is expected.

Bring broken-in trekking boots, spare trekking socks, quick-drying clothing, thermal layers, a fleece or down jacket, a waterproof jacket and trousers, a warm hat and gloves. Pack a headlamp, sun protection, reusable water bottles, toiletries, personal medicines and blister supplies. Trekking poles are useful on the long stair sections and descents.

Keep a dry change of clothes and your sleeping bag in waterproof bags. The lower trail can be warm and wet while higher overnight stops are cold, so keep both rain protection and insulation. Use the Annapurna Base Camp profile and adjust quantities for your trip length and laundry plans. Check your sleeping bag and any included gear against your booked package.

For either destination, pack your passport and required travel documents, comfortable walking shoes, a daypack, reusable water bottle, sun hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, rain jacket, toiletries, personal medicines, phone charger and compatible plug adapter. Bring layers you can add or remove during the day.

For Bhutan temple visits, wear long sleeves and clothing that covers your legs; choose shoes you can take off easily. For Tibet’s high-altitude stops, add a warm insulated layer, warm hat and gloves. Choose your actual route and overnight altitudes rather than using a low-altitude city packing list. A sightseeing-only itinerary does not need technical climbing gear.

Yes. Use it as a planning checklist, then follow your leader’s final equipment list for the climb. Select Island Peak or Everest Expedition so the planner includes climbing considerations instead of ordinary trekking gear alone. Island Peak needs mountaineering boots, compatible crampons, a harness, ice axe, helmet and the rope-system equipment your climbing guide specifies.

An Everest summit expedition also needs specialist high-altitude clothing, boots, sleep systems and expedition arrangements. Your leader must confirm specifications, quantities, fit, compatibility, training and what the team supplies. Do not buy or rent technical equipment solely from this generator, and do not use an Everest Base Camp trekking list for an Everest summit attempt.

Yes. Our published standard Everest Base Camp package includes a down jacket and four-season sleeping bag on a rental basis when needed. The Annapurna Base Camp package also lists down jackets and sleeping bags if required. These inclusions apply to those packages, not every Amigo trip.

Tell our team your trip and dates before arranging gear so we can confirm availability, size, condition and any charges. Check what your booking includes and try rented gear before departure. The label “Personal / rental · Confirm with Amigo” asks you to check an option; it does not reserve equipment or confirm that an item is available.

Your current checklist saves automatically in this browser when browser storage is available; no account is needed. To keep a separate copy, enter a Profile name and choose Save profile. You can keep up to five profiles on the same browser. They do not sync to another device, and clearing browser site data removes them.

Before downloading, printing, emailing or copying a settings link, enter your name, email and phone or WhatsApp number and give contact consent once for that visit. Download CSV saves the full checklist, including notes and custom items. Print / Save as PDF opens the browser’s print dialog; choose Save as PDF there. Both include the full list regardless of filters.

Copy settings link shares the trip settings, not your checklist: it excludes packed status, custom items, notes and personal-care preferences. Email checklist opens your own email app; choose whether to include personal additions, then send it yourself.

Keep base layers, a warm mid-layer, an insulated jacket and rain protection for high-altitude treks in every season. For winter departures, add warmer thermals, insulated gloves and warm socks, and have our team confirm the sleeping bag you need for your overnight stops. For monsoon departures, prioritize a waterproof jacket and trousers, dry bags, quick-drying clothes and spare dry socks.

Select your travel month, then use Conditions advised for your route if your guide expects cold, wet, cold and wet, or dry conditions. Altitude and overnight stops matter as well as the month. The planner does not predict temperatures, and selecting dry conditions does not remove basic rain protection.

Your limit comes from the airline and luggage support booked for your trip. For example, Tara Air’s published policy lists 10 kg checked baggage plus 5 kg hand carry, with separate rules for children. Other airlines and helicopter transfers can have different limits. Check your ticket and confirm each flight allowance and agreed porter load with our team.

Open Edit item weights and bag locations, assign your gear, and enter the confirmed checked, cabin and porter limits. The cabin comparison adds your daypack and cabin bag together. Weigh the loaded bags, including any hired jacket or sleeping bag, food, water and the bags themselves; unknown item weights are not counted.
