Are you planning to trek across Nepal? Are you worried about whether you pack the right things in your bag or not? I have seen many visitors struggling with their packing lists while in Nepal. In this article, I am going to list out the necessary items that will be helpful to enhance your trekking experience.
Of the many important items that one needs to carry while going on a trek or hike in Nepal is a knife. A small to medium sized (6 inch – 8inch blade) knife can be very handy. In Nepal whenever one goes for a hike through the jungle, they mostly carry a khukuri (pronounced as kukri or khukri by many people outside Nepal). It’s a very versatile knife with a slightly angled blade & acts as a tool for various uses. You can easily order yourself a khukuri or other types of high-quality handmade knives online from one of the many khukuri houses like Ex Gurkha Khukuri House in Nepal.
