Kathmandu<br />
Strap on your trekking<br />
gears and trinkets<br />
Nepal is home to several of the world's highest<br />
mountains including Earth's highest peak –<br />
Mount Everest. With that being said, the country<br />
is naturally a haven for trekking enthusiasts and<br />
those interested in buying quality trekking gears<br />
without breaking the bank. Here are suggestions<br />
on where to look and what to look out for while<br />
buying your gears and the occasional trinkets<br />
in the country's capital – Kathmandu.<br />
There's a saying that goes, "Climb mountains not<br />
so the world can see you, but so you can see the<br />
world". So, if you have decided to go trekking in<br />
Nepal, apart from ensuring you have the<br />
appropriate gears, make sure you trek with other<br />
people especially on side treks with unclear paths.<br />
If a problem occurs, it is much easier to get help<br />
if others are nearby. Many people have gone<br />
missing or died on these treks and if you do not<br />
have a trekking partner, it is usually easy to find<br />
other like-minded people with similar travel plans<br />
to trek together. Even if you start at the trailhead<br />
alone you are likely to meet people along the<br />
trail and share lodges at night!<br />
So, hey, let's talk shop!<br />
Learn to haggle while you shop at Kathmandu!<br />
