• Gear: Forgot your trekking essentials? Everything you need to purchase in Kathmandu, in the Thamel district, will set you back around $100 to $300.
• Emergency Cash: $500-$1,000 should sit on the side. When you consider that helicopter evacuation costs upwards of $5,000, travel insurance is a must!
