| What to Wear |
Always take warm clothing with
you and a sleeping bag. Other suggested items are - flashlight with
battery, water bottle, dust mask, water purification tablet, toilet
paper, walking shoe, sun-hat, sun-cream, and sun-glass.
The list depends on the time of the year that you will be traveling.
The weather in Sept./Oct gets colder so for this you will need the
very best sleeping bags, the best down jackets, gloves, scarves,
thermal underwear and thermal socks.
Many cold weather items can be purchased, hired or rented in
Kathmandu for very inexpensive prices. Early summer (July to August)
does not have extreme wear but it is still cold at night and
sometimes it can be wet.

| What to Bring |
It is best to take your usual
toilet articles and medicines. Nowadays, if you are traveling to the
major cities like Shanghai, Beijing, or Guangzhou, you will likely
be able to find most of your basic items. But in towns and
countryside, items such as tampons or sanitary napkins are difficult
to get.
Photographic items, such as film and batteries, are available, but
may be cheaper and fresher if bought before arriving. If you use
professional-speed film, bring it with you. It is worth taking a
small flashlight, especially for individual travelers who may stay
the night in modest hostels. Chinese-made batteries tend not to last
long. An electrical adaptor may be useful too; many of the older
hotels have sockets, which require a three-pin plug and hotels often
only have a limited number of adaptors available. |
