A Note on Local Customs
 The local communities always welcome & meet guests from ‘outside’ but please try to respect their local customs and be sensitive to their habits

Behavioral modesty is appreciated

Personal Intimacy can draw unwanted attention & may provoke exaggerated response at some places

Visiting pilgrim/temple/sacred places should be handled sensitively. Do not try to be a part of local rituals without invitation. 

Walking Kit

Personal First Aid kit/medicines/sticking plasters/blister treatments Oral

Re-hydration Solution sachets are good to combat loss of sugars and salt (not that we anticipate this to be a risk on our holidays).

Water flask but not a breakable thermos. 

Camera (+ film & spare batteries), (there will be no electric charging facilities outside Mountain Resort).

Penknife (Swiss army, Leatherman etc).

Sun screen
 A walking stick
 Torch and spare batteries: a head mounted (“Miner's Lamp) torch is very good

An altimeter or small GPS can add interest to the walks.

“Wet wipes”, tissues and toilet roll

A small notebook and pen/pencil if you wish to keep a diary or notes.

Binoculars, if you like bird watching of natural beauty

A pack of cards can be useful in the evenings

Small packets of dried fruit, chocolate (especially plain chocolate and fruit/nuts), sucky sweets, small packets of cheese, glucose sweets, nuts etc. Sweets are appreciated by children in the villages

If you wish to carry alcoholic drinks with you, please respect the sensitivities of the village hosts
