in wheels, and a heavy duty lockable zipper. Please do not bring a rigid (plastic shell) suitcase.

Complimentary O.A.T. bag

We will be sending a complementary overnight bag approximately one month prior to your
trip; please bring it with you. You could either use it as a carry-on or pack it into your main
suitcase. Please bring a luggage tag and small lock as well. You will need this bag during your
main trip because there will be a couple times when you will not have access to your main
luggage for 2-3 days at a stretch (once during the trek and once during the rafting). If you
reserved your Nepal trip less than 40 days prior to departure, please contact Traveler Support
immediately to obtain your complimentary overnight bag.

Carry-on Bag

You are allowed one carry-on bag per person. We suggest a tote or small backpack that can be

theft-prevention measure.

Clothing Suggestions

Functional Tips

• Sturdy comfortable shoes with great support are a must. Any footwear you bring should
be “broken in” before you leave home.

Style Hints & Dress Codes

• Clothing should be functional and casual. This is an active adventure with hiking,
trekking, and rafting activities.

• Your dress should be somewhat conservative in order to be respectful of the local
culture. Sleeveless tops for ladies are acceptable in the larger cities, like Kathmandu, but
are not appropriate in the small villages or less sophisticated cities and communities,
