What are some essential personal things to bring to Nepal?
Tea tree oil or an antihistamine cream can come in handy to treat mosquito bites. If you have a sleeping bag; bring it. Although most rooms have blankets, you will probably prefer your own bag which is nice to have if you go on a weekend trip. A good flashlight is hard to find in Nepal, most seem to fail after a week or so. If you plan to do some trekking, hiking boots or shoes are a must. Footwear in size 9 or up is generally difficult to find at the market.
