A list of the most needed items
- Personal documents (passport, SNILS, OMS insurance policy, we will send you a VHI for the time of the tour, tick insurance too).
- First aid kit: remedies for headache, stomach upset, band-aids, antiseptic. Personal medications should be taken as needed. Our tours always have a shared large first aid kit and the guides have first aid skills. Nevertheless, it is worth keeping your own small first aid kit handy
- Personal hygiene products: toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, soap, washcloth, wet wipes, towel (we recommend microfiber towel — it dries quickly, small in size and weight).
- Backpack for every day for personal belongings. Bags are better not to take, they will interfere with the walk, and the backpack will free your hands and conveniently distribute the load.
- Backpack tourist 60−75 liters / suitcase size S
- Bathing kit: swimsuit/swimwear, towel, flip-flops.
- Bug spray
Clothing
We recommend taking three sets:
Lightweight suit for day hikes

Footwear
It is not necessary to use special footwear for hiking, you can take ordinary sports sneakers with a sturdy sole. The main thing is that the shoes should be comfortable and worn. For short movements you can use light sneakers, city sneakers or sandals.
Weather protection
Cold Protection
Even in summer, you should take warm clothes. The weather in the mountains is unpredictable and you need to be ready for anything! Must-have: sweatshirt, fleece, windbreaker, light down jacket, etc. It is also useful to have gloves, thermal underwear and extra socks (warm for the evening and regular socks for every day).
Sun protection
It’s easy to burn in the mountains: take a good SPF cream, sunglasses and a light shirt/t-shirt to protect your shoulders from sunburn.
Rain protection
Don’t forget the changeability of the weather — make sure you take a raincoat or poncho.

Headwear
A thick hat for the evening saves you from the mountain chill. A cap or a panama hat — from overheating under the scorching afternoon sun. A mask or bandana to protect your face from dust on a windy day and on descents from mountain passes is also very useful.
Optional small things
- Trekking poles
- Headlamp
- Power-bank
- Thermos
- Seat-pen (we have in stock)
