Everest Base Camp Packing List for Women

Female-Specific Gear for Your Trekking Adventure

Comfort and Practicality

While most gear is unisex, women have specific needs on the trail. From sizing to hygiene, getting your kit right ensures a comfortable Everest trekking experience.

Sizing Matters

Women's backpacks are designed for shorter torsos and different hip shapes. Don't just buy a small men's pack. A well-fitted pack prevents back pain on the long walk to Everest Base Camp.

Women's Trekking Backpack
Hygiene Kit

Bring extra wet wipes, menstrual products (biodegradable bags to carry them out), and dry shampoo. A 'Shewee' can make bathroom breaks in freezing temperatures much faster and warmer during your expedition.

Layering

Women tend to feel the cold more. Invest in a higher quality down jacket and warmer sleeping bag liner. Staying warm is the key to recovery on a Mount Everest expedition.

Be Prepared

Don't shrink it and pink it. Buy serious gear for a serious environment.
