Hiking has got to be one of my all-time favorite activities to do when I am traveling abroad. Ever since I did my first trek in the Annapurna region in Nepal back in 2014, I have fallen in love with it so much that, even after 8 years on the road, I still find it exhilarating every time I embark on a hiking journey somewhere in the remote mountains of the world.
As I have learned from my experiences, what defines a good and a bad hiking trip is how prepared you are for it, and after years of trial and error, I have finally perfected my hiking packing list, and I want to share it all with you today.
This is the ultimate hiking packing list that I always use as a checklist before every hiking trip to ensure that I am prepared for whatever is in store for me in the mountains, and I hope you will find some use for it. Without further ado, here is how to pack for a hiking trip:
Things to Consider Before Packing for a Hike
How Long is the Hike?
Before we can start packing, we will first have to determine the type of hiking trail you will be tackling. One of the first things you will have to know is how long your hike will be. Is it a day hike or a multi-day hike? How much time does it take to hike the trail? Is it a loop or a one-way trail?
These are the questions that will define the hiking gear you will have to prepare and determine what packing list you will have to follow in this article. If it is a day hike, then you can follow the "Day-Hike Packing List". If it is a multi-day hike, you can follow the "Long-Distance Trek and Camping Packing List" section.
"How much time does it take to hike the trail?" is also a very important question that will define how much food and water you will have to prepare for the hike, which we will go into more detail in the next section.
You can often find out the hiking duration of trails at the tourist information center in the nearest town where the hiking trail begins, or you can search for a real-life account and a travel guide online for more information.
You will also have to know whether the time provided is for a one-way hike or a roundtrip hike. Some hiking trails go in a loop, and the time provided is often accurate. However, for a trail that goes up and down the same way, sometimes the time provided is only one-way. In this case, you will have to multiply it by 2, and add 30 minutes to one hour for the time you will be spending at the top to more accurately define the hiking distance.
Is There a Water Source Along the Trail?
Once you know how long the hike is, the next thing to ask yourself is whether there is a water source along the trail. For a day hike of around 4 - 5 hours walk, 2 liters of water is often enough in moderate weather. However, if the trail goes on for 7 - 8 hours and it is hot outside, you might have to find another water source to refill your water bottle along the way.
If the hiking trail goes along a river, that is often a great source of water in case you need to refill your water bottles while hiking.
If you are hiking in places without a water source, such as a desert, then you will have to prepare all the water beforehand. You should be able to acquire this information about the trail you are hiking via a tourist information center in a nearby town.
What is the Weather Like?
Another important factor to know is how the weather will be on the day of your hike. This factor could ultimately determine the success of your hike.
When I was planning to hike the 4-day Santa Cruz Trail in Peru in 2016, the weather forecast didn't look promising, and I decided to wait it out, whereas my friends went for it despite the forecast.
The weather was so bad for my friends that they were unable to reach the pass and had to turn back on day 2. However, for me, the weather was completely on my side without a single drop of rain for 4 days straight when I hiked the trail the week after.
The weather in the mountains is unpredictable, and even though the weather forecast can be unreliable at times, it is the only way we can get a glimpse of what is to come. So, I would recommend you check the weather forecast 10 days before your hike and try to align your trip on days with good weather forecasts to maximize the chance of your success.
What is the Trail Condition?
Even if the weather is good, the trail condition can be poor due to how the weather was in the previous days, and that could affect your hike and the things you will have to pack for your trip.
One rule of thumb is, if it rains a lot the day before, then expect the trail to be a little muddy and slippery, and you will have to prepare hiking shoes that have a good grip and that you don't mind getting dirty.
Is There Any Accommodation Along the Trail?
For a long-distance hike that takes multiple days, one of the most important things to know is whether there is any accommodation available along the trail.
For Nepal, the trails are often commercialized, and you will find many mountain huts where you can sleep along the trail. This means you do not need to prepare a tent or food for your hike.
For more remote hiking trails that are uncommercialized, you will have to pack many more things, such as a tent, a sleeping bag, and, more importantly, the food that you will have to carry with you for the entire length of your hike. That leads to the next question you need to answer.
Are There Food Along the Trail?
Knowing whether there is any shop where you can buy food or a mountain hut you can rely upon along the hiking trail will determine how many things you will have to pack and how heavy your backpack will be when you hike.
This also applies not just to long-distance hiking trails, but also day hikes as well. You may have to prepare snacks and lunch to keep your energy level high throughout the trail.
If there is food, then you won't have to pack a lot. But if there isn't, then you will have to calculate how much food you will need for the trail, what you should prepare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and how you will cook them.
These questions will determine which packing lists you will have to follow below. If you are going on a day hike, follow the packing list under the "Day-Hike Packing List" section. If you are going on a multi-day hike, follow the instructions under the "Long-Distance Trek and Camping Packing List" section below.
Day-Hike Packing List
Hiking Clothes
First and foremost, let's discuss hiking clothes. With the answers to the above questions such as "What will the weather be like?" and "What is the trail condition?", you should be able to determine which type of hiking clothes you will have to wear and pack for your hiking trip. In short, it's all about layers.
Wicking Shirts: The piece of cloth you should be wearing as your first layer is a breathable or wicking shirt that will help wick your sweat out onto the outer layer and keep your body warm.
The material that makes up the wicking capability is synthetic fabrics, and they are designed to quickly move liquid and moisture from the fabric onto the outer layer where it can dry faster.
Fleece Jacket: A fleece jacket is going to be your second layer for when you are hiking in a cooler area. It is a layer that will insulate all the sweat your shirt just wicked out, which will allow you to maintain your body heat and keep you warm. Columbia's Steens Mountain Fleece (for women) is my go-to jacket for hiking.
Outer Shell Jacket: For the third layer that goes on top of your fleece, you are going to need a waterproof outer shell jacket to protect you from the elements, such as rain and strong wind, while keeping your body warm.
Your outer shell layer can either be a simple waterproof jacket or a down jacket, depending on the climate. I highly recommend you get the Columbia Men's Watertight II Jacket (for women) for summer hikes or the Columbia Men's Lone Fir Hooded Jacket (for women) for winter hikes.
Hiking Pants: You can wear a pair of hiking pants in any length, but they should be breathable as you will be hiking and sweating a lot. I highly recommend this pair of hiking pants (for women) for any type of hike you might want to do.
Wool Socks, Scarf, Beanie, Gloves: If you are planning to hike in a cold climate area, make sure you have something warm to cover your skin to prevent it from being exposed to the winter chill. Basically, anything made out of wool should work fine.
Wear wool socks to protect your feet, a wool neck gaiter to prevent heat from escaping your body, a wool beanie to warm your ears, and a pair of wool gloves to keep your hands warm.
Hiking Shoes
Hiking Shoes are the most essential things you have to prepare before any hike. Since you will be walking in them for at least 4 hours, you need shoes that are well-fitted, have been broken in beforehand, and can handle the rugged terrain you might encounter on hiking trails.
Remember to break in your new shoes and make sure you do not get any blisters from walking in them for a long period of time before you embark on any hike. Having to hike in a pair of shoes that hurt you can really ruin your entire hiking trip.
I love my trusty Timberland Shoes. They have proven to be durable enough while still looking pretty dope, which is not something I can say about those ugly technical hiking shoes out there.
If you are a beginner, I highly recommend you go with a proper hiking boot or shoes like Timberland White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boot (for women) for good ankle support or this Columbia Redmond V2 Waterproof Hiking Boot (for women) if you want something lighter and easier to move around in.
Snacks and Lunch
No matter how long your day hike is, it is always a good idea to carry some snacks with you at all times in case you get hungry or something happens that might slow you down unexpectedly. They are delicious, nutritious, inexpensive, and do last quite long.
I always carry snacks with me, even when I'm not hiking, just in case I get hungry all of a sudden, which happens more often than you think. CLIF BARS are great, and you can often find them sold in hiking shops everywhere.
Water Bottle
More is always better than not enough when it comes to carrying water while hiking. That's something I always remind myself of when I am hiking because sometimes the weather can be hotter than expected, and you might not know how dehydrated you are until you run out of water. So, it is always a good idea to have more than you think you need.
A water bottle of around 2 liters should be good enough for a day hike, in my opinion, and you can always use it to refill from the running rivers or mountain huts along the trail.
The Lifestraw Water Bottle is recommended, as it comes with its own filter, which helps clean up water from natural sources.
Cameras & Electronics
Sony a7C: This camera is what I carry for most of my trips around the world. The Sony a7C is very compact and light but comes with the capability to take excellent photos and videos that rival those of bigger cameras.
With this camera and the combination of lenses I use below, you will have one hell of a highly functional and lightweight camera gear setup that you can carry for your hike.
Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 Lens: This is one of the lightest and most compact all-purpose lenses you can get for Sony cameras. With such a versatile range from 28-70mm, it should be more than enough to cover most use cases.
Sony 16-35mm F2.8 Lens: Since you will be going on a day hike, you should be able to carry a few more lenses with you. I recommend that you take a wide-angle lens with you to capture all the beautiful landscapes you might encounter while hiking.
One of the best wide-angle lenses for Sony cameras is the Sony 16-35mm F2.8 lens. It's not the lightest lens by any means, but its versatility will allow you to capture landscape shots you might not have been able to with other lenses.
Tamron 70-300mm Lens: Last but not least, you can't forget a telephoto lens for landscapes and, maybe, just maybe, some wildlife shots you might encounter. This is the lightest and most compact telephoto lens you can get, and with a reach of 300mm, it should be enough in most cases.
Power Bank: For a day hike, a power bank of around 7,000 - 10,000 mAh should be enough to keep your electronics charged for a day. You never know when you are going to need to use Google Maps or Maps.me to help find your orientation, and having enough juice on your phone to do that can save your life when things go south. Anker PowerCore power bank is highly recommended.
DJI Mini 2: If you want to take a drone with you, I would get the smallest, lightest one possible like the DJI Mini 2, which weighs only around 249 grams, making it the perfect drone to hike with.
First-Aid Kit
Always carry a first-aid kit when you are hiking. Bandages, painkillers, disinfectant wipes, tiger balm, and insect repellent are the five main things I always carry with me in my backpack, and I recommend you pack these with you as well as other personal medicines you may need for your hiking trip.
A Daypack
Finally, we will need a daypack with enough capacity to carry all the gear we might need on a day hike. I have found that a 25L-sized backpack is perfect for a daypack, as it should allow us to carry water bottles, layers, camera gear, among other things. I always go with the stylish Herschel Supply Little America Backpack as my daypack, and it has served me well for many years.
Other Essentials
Sun Blocks: The sun can be extremely strong, especially higher up in the mountains. If the hiking trails are not covered in shades, you might get sunburns without knowing it, so be sure to protect yourself with sunblocks before hitting the trail.
Maps: It is important that you study the hiking trail carefully before you embark on a journey, and when you do, always have a map on hand in case you get lost.
Nowadays, you can rely on apps like Maps.me to help you navigate many hiking trails around the world, even the off-the-beaten-track ones. So, be sure to have the app installed on your phone (iPhone/Android) and have the map of the area saved for offline use before you start hiking.
Long-Distance Trek and Camping Packing List
Hiking Clothes
Wicking Shirts: Again, breathable or wicking shirts are highly recommended for multi-day hikes as well. Be sure to pack around 3-5 wicking shirts for long-distance treks of any duration so you can wash them as you go. They are easily washed and quick to dry, making them awesome for multi-day treks.
Fleece Jacket: Again, a fleece jacket is going to be the second layer to help insulate your body heat and keep you warm on long hikes, especially in cooler climate areas like the Andes and the Himalayas. Columbia's Steens Mountain Fleece (for women) is my go-to jacket for hiking.
Outer Shell Jacket: For the third layer, depending on where you want to hike, you can get a lightweight jacket like the Columbia Men's Watertight II Jacket (for women) for hiking in moderate temperatures, or you can go for the warmer Columbia Men's Lone Fir Hooded Jacket (for women) for a hike in extreme cold.
Since you will be hiking for multiple days, there is a chance that you might have to hike through rain. If that's the case, it's always a good idea to pack a proper rain jacket to keep yourself dry while allowing you to continue hiking even when it's pouring cats and dogs out there.
I wouldn't recommend a parka for hiking, especially for long-distance trails, as they are heavy to carry and aren't as adaptable to the fast-changing weather of the mountains, unlike when you use layers as I recommended previously.
Hiking Pants: Choose any hiking pants (for women) that you are comfortable hiking in, but since you will be hiking for several days on end, be sure to get the ones that are waterproof. You can also just get a pair of rain cover pants that you can wear over your hiking pants to keep them dry.
Wool Socks, Scarf, Beanie, Gloves: Again, be sure to pack wool socks to protect your feet, a wool neck gaiter to prevent heat from escaping your body, a wool beanie to warm your ears, and wool gloves to keep your hands warm for hiking in a cold climate area.
Hiking Shoes and Sandals
A pair of good hiking shoes is extremely important for long-distance treks, as you will be living in them for most of your waking hours. Again, break into your shoes and see if you get any blisters before you go on a long-distance hike. If you do, return the shoe and get another pair that is one size bigger.
If you are a beginner, I highly recommend you go with a proper hiking boot or shoes like Timberland White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boot (for women) for good ankle support, or this Columbia Redmond V2 Waterproof Hiking Boot (for women) if you want something lighter and easier to move around in.
Don't forget to pack sandals as well. Trust me, the last thing you would want to do after a long day of hiking in boots is to have to put them on again to walk around while you are resting at tea houses.
Hydration Pack
A Hydration Pack is great gear to pack, and I very much prefer it over water bottles for long-distance treks because I won't have to stop to take my bottle out to drink. I can simply drink from the hydration pack as I continue hiking the trail. I highly recommend getting a 2-liter hydration pack for long-distance hikes to save time and allow you to hike more efficiently.
A Tent
If your answer to the "How Long is Your Hike?" question is more than one day, then you will have to think about how you will be sleeping at night. For commercialized hiking trails, you can often rely on mountain huts for accommodation, but for remote hiking trails, you will have to rely on yourself. So, make sure you pack a tent that can handle the unpredictable weather of the mountains at night.
Get a 2-person tent so that you have enough room for your belongings, as well as some space to move around in. Make sure that your tent is also weather-protected for when it rains, comes with metallic tent poles for when it gets windy, and, all in all, it can be packed into a small, lightweight package that you can actually carry around.
A Sleeping Bag and Sleeping Mat
The next thing you will need to pack after a tent is a sleeping bag and sleeping mat, which are essential if you want a good night's sleep while camping. For a cold climate area, get a down sleeping bag that can handle low temperatures. For a hot climate area, a regular cheap sleeping bag should do just fine.
A sleeping mat is also a must. Be sure to get the one that is long enough for your body and light enough for you to attach it to your backpack and carry it around.
Food, Camp Stove, and a Mug
After you have got your sleeping arrangement sorted, it is time to think about food. If there are no mountain huts to rely on along the trail, you will have to pack your own food as well as the means to prepare them.
For food preparation, you will have to buy a portable camping stove and a gas fuel canister to heat your food, and a multi-functional camping mug/pot that will allow you to put your food/drink in and heat it up with the stove.
When it comes to the food itself, it will depend on what you want to eat while you are camping. I often go with granola and milk for breakfast, a sandwich with ham and vegetables for lunch, and pasta with Prego Sauce for dinner.
They are easy to make, can be easily packed, they last quite a while before they go bad, and they are not super heavy. Just make sure you pack enough for all the days you are hiking.
First-Aid Kit
Bandages, painkillers, disinfectant wipes, tiger balm, and insect repellent are always in the first-aid kit that I have with me when I go on a hiking trip. If you have personal medication, be sure to pack those too since you will be hiking for several days.
Cameras & Electronics
Sony a7C: For multi-day hikes, I would still go with my trusty Sony a7C camera. It's compact, extremely light, and when combined with a compact-sized lens, you should be all set.
Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 Lens: This lens and the Sony a7C will be the only camera gear I bring on a long hike if I want to travel light. It is the lightest and most compact lens out there, and its versatile range of 28-70mm should be more than enough to cover most use cases.
Power Bank: For multi-day hikes, there is a chance that you might not be able to have access to power outlets for days, and the only way to juice up your electronics is to use a power bank. I recommend you get a power bank with around 20,000 mAh - 35,000 mAh capacity to keep all your electronics charged for the entire duration of your hike.
I highly recommend the Anker PowerCore 20,000 mAh power bank for your trip here. It should be enough to keep all your electronics charged throughout the day.
A Backpack
With so many things you have to carry for long-distance hikes, you are going to need something that is bigger than a day pack. I went on a 15-day trek to the Everest Base Camp with a 65L Osprey Atmos AG and I found the backpack to be perfectly sized and extremely comfortable to carry for multiple days on end. I highly recommend you get the Osprey Atmos AG backpack or anything that is 65L or higher for long-distance hikes.
Other Essentials
Headlamps: Since you will be spending many nights in the mountains, you are going to need a headlamp to navigate your way through the night, from going to the toilet to preparing dinner while you camp. So, be sure to pack one for your hiking trip.
Toiletries: For an overnight hiking trip, be sure to pack all the essential toiletries that you might need, from a toothbrush and toothpaste to a roll of tissue paper. You never know when you might want to go number 2 in the mountains, and you will find that cleaning yourself with leaves is extremely uncomfortable 😅.
Microfiber Towel: For a multi-day hike that takes you to a lake or a waterfall, you might find yourself wanting to jump into the water and freshen up. Packing a microfiber towel that dries easily will help keep you dry when you are done.
Multitool: Since you will be in the mountains for many days, a multitool is recommended as there will be many applications that you can use it for, from cutting vegetables to fixing a tent to self-defense. I love the Leatherman SUPER TOOL 300 and I always carry it with me wherever I go.
Sunblock: Pack sunblock with you on your hike and apply it twice a day - in the morning and in the afternoon - to avoid getting burned by the sun from hiking 8 hours a day.
Maps: Get Maps.me to help you navigate the hiking trail with their offline maps on your phone. Install it on your phone (iPhone/Android) and make sure that you download the entire area you are in offline before you go off on the hike so that you can use them without a data connection.
Travel Insurance: Last but not least, make sure to get travel insurance before you hike so that in case something goes wrong, you will have an insurance plan to cover the cost of rescue. Heymondo is what I personally use when I want to get travel insurance.
