• 10Li Small backpack. For carrying water, snack (Energy bars), camera, extra jacket.
• Light hiking boots, or trekking shoes. Boots help support ankles especially when going down. Trail shoes are lighter, more comfortable but have less ankle support. Waterproof/Breathable (ex. Goretex) types is recommended.
• Balaclava or Bonnet for head protection (available in KTM). Sun hats, dark glasses, sun creams (UPF 35+). Light fleece gloves (cheap in KTM).
