Don’t forget a pocketknife, torch, sewing kit and photographic equipment, and spare batteries. A GPS receiver is not really necessary unless you have a digital map of the region or someone’s GPS tracks uploaded to your unit. A compass is needed.

Food

Food needed for a trek, including high-energy, freeze-dried food as well as local organic produce, is available in Leh. On an organised trek food will be usually prepared for you. Expect breakfast, dinner and a packed lunch. Breakfast will probably consist of some kind of simple Indian bread like chapati or parantha and an omelette or porridge. For dinner expect rice with some sort of vegetable/lentil/meat sauce. As mentioned earlier, if you arrange the trek directly with the local agent, you can discuss the menu in advance. Try to use local products instead of manufactured food (ssss1).
