Many of the more expensive items of equipment necessary for trekking and peak climbing can sometimes be hired in Kathmandu at reasonable rates. However, the search for items of suitable size and quality is extremely time-consuming and should only be undertaken if the need is unavoidable. Access-Himalaya have suitable, high quality down or thermaloft sleeping bags, and down jackets, which we are able to hire out to you at reasonable rates. These items are dry-cleaned at the end of each and every period of use. As regards climbing boots, your own pair, however tatty and worn, is always far superior to ill-fitting and blister-forming hire boots. Should you need to hire any item of equipment, it would be a good idea to contact us at Access-Himalaya well before your arrival so that we can help you to find what you need.
