You step off a small Twin Otter in Lukla and mountain air bites clean; prayer flags snap like distant applause as the trail threads into rhododendron forest and then opens to rock and moraine. Days blend into high passes and tea-house rhythms—hot dal bhat at dusk, headlamp-lit maps, and the slow, deliberate climb that turns ordinary steps into altitude strategy.

Prioritize acclimatization
Build in slow gains and drink frequently—carry extra rest days in reserve if you feel symptoms of altitude sickness.
Layer for big temperature swings
Mornings and nights are freezing; afternoons can be warm while hiking—use breathable base layers plus an insulating down jacket.

Carry small cash for hot showers and charging, and be prepared to share dining space—tip guides and porters for good service.
High-altitude down jacket
Critical for overnight warmth and high-elevation mornings when temperatures plummet.
Sturdy waterproof trekking boots
Support and grip for rocky, often icy trails between villages and glacier moraines.
Sleeping bag (to -10°C)
Tea-house rooms are basic and can be cold at altitude—bring a rated sleeping bag for comfort.
Trekking poles
Reduces knee strain on descents and helps maintain rhythm on mixed terrain.
