Who carries what and whats the luggage allowance?
Luggage should be kept to the absolute minimum – details on what to pack are provided in your Kit List. You will need to carry a daypack during the day while the porters carry your main rucksack. You will need a day sack of about 35-litre capacity. It will contain things like your camera, your water, lunch, waterproof clothing and extra layers. It is worth training with a day-sac weighing up to 6kg. NB. You should take a soft-sided bag or rucksack for the porters to carry as they often carry luggage on their heads and hard suitcases are too unwieldy. Your main pack should be 70-90 litres capacity. The maximum weight each porter will carry is 15kgs and your luggage will be weighed at the gate before commencing the climb. You will be charged US$5 for every kilo that you are overweight. On your outward journey, please wear you trekking gear, hiking boots, and carry a spare change of clothing in your hand luggage.
