While doing a high-altitude and long-haul trip like the Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal, you need to prepare right for the trek. You have to bring all the necessary layers and gear that will keep you warm, protected, and comfortable during the trek.
You have the option to either buy the trekking gear in Kathmandu or rent it for your Himalayan journey. If you are planning on renting the equipment, you will need to pay around US$ 1 to US$ 5 per day depending on the type of gear.
In case you are planning to buy the equipment, the cost can range from US$ 8 for the light layers to US$ 300 for heavy equipment. Make sure to check the build quality and brand; there are a lot of cheap copy equipment available, and they may not be reliable in the long run.
Note: Considering your comfort and convenience, Eco Holidays Nepal also provides the general gear for the trek, such as sleeping bags, walking poles, and duffle bags. It should be returned after completing the trek.
