Here’s a simple and complete packing list for the Everest View Trek, made easy to follow and beginner-friendly. Since this trek is shorter and does not go too high (maximum altitude around 3,880m), you don’t need as much as for high-altitude treks. But staying warm, dry, and comfortable is still important.
