Winter Survival Dec.2012?..Naran Trekking

[emmaar]

Camera with Additional Batteries/SD Cards: No chance of battery charging facility ,so, it is better to keep as many spare batteries as you have but if you don't like photography then you haven't any problem at all. A couple of extra SD card is also essential. And last but not least, it will be more helpful to use your mobile phone as an alternative camera device.

A suit for wearing including, a High Neck, Jeans, Shirt/upper. This is one which you have to wear at departure time. Other than this I have taken an extra shirt only....because weight matters;)

[emmaar]

As I already told...One extra Shirt only:)

And Finally the ruck sack
RuckSack: The word rucksack is a German loanword. in German R?ck means 'the back' and Sack for bag. So, it is also called Back pack.Backpacks form an essential part of the gear of the outdoor trekker and allowing more mobility and compactness than would be available to someone carrying most of their gear and clothing in a suitcase. It designed in such a way that it distribute the weight of its contents across the body more appropriately, by transferring much of the weight to the hips and legs. Most of the weight is therefore taken off the shoulders, reducing the chance of injury from shoulder strap pressure. Its capacity is measured in LITERS. I have used a Ruck Sack with 70 Liter Capacity.
