Right Packing for the Climb of Naya Kanga Peak
Here are some packing ideas for clothes that you can consider while packing for the Naya Kanga journey in different seasons.
Spring and Autumn
Spring and autumn are the high times for trekking and peak climbing in the Himalayas due to mild temperatures and stable weather conditions. The average temperature during these seasons ranges between 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. However, it is quite cold at alpine elevations, especially during the morning and night. So, you can pack a mix of light and heavy clothes for lower altitudes and higher regions, respectively. Though the weather is pleasant, consider carrying rain gear and windproof shells to remain on the safe side.
Summer/monsoon
Summer/monsoon is the hot and wet time of the year. The weather is frequently changeable from heat to rain during this time. So, you need to be extra cautious while packing for the high-altitude journey of Naya Kanga Peak. Fill your backpacks with a mix of clothes that could fit both sunny and rainy weather. Carry lightweight, moisture-wicking, and breathable layers, a sun hat, SPF 50+ sun cream, etc, for warm conditions. Likewise, pack waterproof jackets/gloves, rain pants, an umbrella, and gaiters to shield from the rain.
Winter
Winter is the coldest time of the year. You will experience a frigid climate during this time, even in the lower trekking regions. So, you need to be well-equipped with warm clothes like a beanie, woolen scarf, fleece jacket, down jacket, sweater, insulated gloves and mittens, thermal trousers, etc.
