The below hiking items are required for your safety on the mountain during the hikes. You will say goodbye to your suitcase at the beginning of the hike and will receive it back at the end of the backpacking portion of the tour. The list includes only the necessary items to keep the weight to a minimum. This tour is much more fun if hikers aren’t struggling under an unnecessarily heavy pack!
