Is it possible/easy to hire trekking equipment in Nepal, or does NTA provide it?
Yes, you can hire mountain trekking gear in Nepal. NTA provides good quality trekking equipment to it’s clients on a best available basis. Cost wise, hiring your trekking equipments with NTA should be much cheaper compared with excess baggage charge from home to Kathmandu.
