joe90 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Me, my dad and my little brother are planning to spend a few days in Chiang Mai and were hoping to go on one of the 2 or 3 day mountain treks. Do we need: Sleeping bags. What's the sleeping like? Are mosquitos an issue? Mosquito repellant Mosquito Pills Gaiters (for the leeches) Waterproofs (how much rain is there Thanks for any help you can give us. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 As the nature in the mountains changes almost daily, I would suggest anything for your comfort is the best idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 DEET (100% for clothes and 20% for body) Hiking shoes (I use boots that provide good ankle support) skip the pills (side effects can be horrendous) most of the rest depends upon the trekking agency you use (I also always carry electrolyte powder ... and stomach meds) I am sure you can find good advice from Lonely Planet for trekking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
