• Fleece jacket (1). I had a medium-light one which proves very useful when you stop in the shade for a while to prevent getting chill and is still useful with other layers at high altitudes.
  • Hats (2) One sun hat, with a wide brim if the back of your neck and ears are as sun-sensitive as mine, but at least a peak. Also one warm wooly or fleece hat for higher altitudes and cold nights.
  • Sunglasses (1). A wraparoud skiing pair are the best if you have them since there is a lot of glare at altitude.
  • Gloves (1). Warm and at least water-resistant if not waterproof.
  • Raincoat (1). I carried a large gore-tex which also serves as a good wind protection and has a large hood to keep snow and rain out of my face.
  • Rain leggings (1). Even if it never rains, these are a usefull outerlayer if the wind gets very cold. A light breathable pair you can don without removing your boots are best.

Indoor Clothes

  • Light thongs or sandles (1). I never walked far in these, but they are invaluable for getting around lodges in the evening and for the wet floors of showers and toilets.
  • Cotton tracksuit leggings (1) Comfortable evening wear and available as another layer during the day (though that never proved necessary).
  • Thermal underwear (2). A long sleeved top and long-johns were all I needed under tracksuit and shirt in the lodges at night. Can be worn in a sleeping bag if it is not warm enough. Unlikely you will need these when you are walking. Even on the coldest of mornings you will warm up very fast and you will not want to stop after 20 minutes to remove your underwear.
