Peach (shown left - isn't she cute?) just asked me what kind of things I plan to pack for this trip. So, I'm posting a picture and a long list of all the stuff that I am taking with me. It all fits into my 70L backpack weighing around 30 pounds. However, something to note: I don't plan on keeping all this stuff with me through the entire trip. For example, when I go on the Annapurna trek I will leave a lot of this stuff in storage in Kathmandu. Then, when I leave Nepal and arrive in Thailand, I will send most of my winter gear back home. I've definitely thought a lot about what kind of gear I should bring, but I am always appreciative if people have suggestions for how I should change my packing list.
