Equipments for a trekking trail
If you plan to do hiking on your own, you will have to bring all your equipments with you. Make sure that you take all the necessary belongings. Sort them out into three different parts:
What will you wear on the trail?
What will you bring in the day pack?
What will you pack in the duffel bag?
Your bag will carry necessary things, which will be transported by the porter during the trek. Be sure that, you bring the requisites for the day packed separately in a small backpack which you will carry. If you are carrying heavy equipments like cameras or any expensive equipment, then you will have to pay extra for this.
