Who this list is for
This Nepal tea house trek packing list is for hikers on a supported route where a porter carries a duffel and you carry a daypack. It covers personal trekking gear and tea house essentials, not technical climbing equipment.
How to use this list
First secure the passport, Nepal visa or entry documents, trekking permit, TIMS card if required, insurance details with trekking cover, and guide and porter contacts. Put daily essentials in the daypack: water bottles, purification tablets, snacks, waterproof shell, sunscreen, headlamp, and personal medication. Use the soft-sided porter duffel for the sleeping bag liner, spare clothing, toiletry kit, travel towel, camp sandals, and overnight layers. Add the pack rain cover and waterproof pack liner before loading either bag.
Common mistakes
Do not put everything in the porter duffel. You need your own water, shell, headlamp, documents, blister plasters, and warm layer available during the walking day. Avoid untested hiking boots; the list specifically calls for broken-in boots. Do not bring technical climbing equipment for a tea house route unless your operator separately requires it.
What is on this list
The list includes trekking poles, five pairs of wool hiking socks, moisture-wicking shirts, hiking trousers, fleece and insulated jackets, waterproof overtrousers, thermal base layers, hat, gloves, and buff or neck gaiter. It also includes earplugs, adapter, power bank, phone, and cash in Nepalese rupees. Cross off what you already own before final packing.
Before you go
Confirm permits, insurance wording, and the guide and porter contacts. Test the rain cover, headlamp, and power bank. Divide your gear deliberately: daypack for the day, porter duffel for the overnight items.
