A properly fitting backpack is very important for comfort and avoiding discomfort or strain during your trek. Look for backpacks with adjustable shoulder straps, a padded hip belt, and a sternum strap. Consider trying on different backpacks to find the one that fits your body shape and provides proper weight distribution. A good trekking backpack should have a supportive suspension system that effectively transfers the weight to your hips.
Invest in qualitative and reliable clothing and footwear as your whole trekking depends upon them.
Make sure your gear is in good condition and that you have everything you need for all types of weather conditions.
