Packing Tips

• Do not wear any cotton items in the mountains. Cotton holds moisture, making it heavy and likely to make you cold after you sweat. It is important to wear proper moisture-wicking layers.

• Please remember our luggage requirements, which are sent in our pre-tour emails, when choosing your suitcase and packing your items.

• If you have questions about the packing list or any of the specific items, please email contact@atharaadventures.com.
