Equipment Checklist/Hiking Gear
Some people choose to bring their own equipment for trekking. Other people don’t wish to carry around or spend money on things they may only use once. For the latter we recommend renting equipment from L.N. Treks. We supply many essential items including: sleeping bags, down jackets, trekking poles and other accessories.
