For any outdoor activity, having the correct shoes is very important. Ideally, one could use hiking or trek boots, basically shoes that support the ankle well to avoid any foot injury. The shoes should be usable across various terrains such as rocky, uneven landscapes.

It is advisable not to wear new shoes for the outbound activity since every pair has an average breaking time of 10-15 days till it becomes absolutely comfortable for the feet. For water-based activities, wear slippers or sandals that should not be very tight. The new sport shoe should be rubber soled and the cushion of the sole such that it protects the feet from feeling the rough terrain underneath.
Even though floaters would serve the purpose for basic activities around camp but closed shoes are a must such that the toe is protected.
Care of feet is very important, Bring at least 4 pairs of cotton socks & wear clean socks each day

Layering your clothing is a tried-and-true way to maximize your comfort in the outdoors. The beauty of this simple concept is that it allows you to make quick adjustments based on your activity level and changes in the weather.
Each layer has a function. The base layer (against your skin) manages moisture; the insulating layer protects you from the cold; the shell layer(outer layer) shields you from wind and rain. You simply add or subtract layers as needed.

For outdoor comfort, your base layer should be made of merino wool, synthetic fabrics such as polyesters. A base layer can be anything from briefs and sports bras to long underwear sets (tops and bottoms) to tights and T-shirts. It can be designed to fit snugly or loosely. For cool conditions, thermal underwear is available in light-, mid- and expedition-weights. Choose the weight that best matches your activity and the temperature.
The middle layer serves the purpose of insulation by trapping heat closer to the body. Natural fibers such as wool, goose and fleece garments work best in such situations.
The shell or outer layer protects you from wind, rain or snow. Shells range from pricey mountaineering jackets to simple windproof jackets. For monsoons, it is required that you carry a raincoat.

Some of our trips will take you to higher altitudes, though we do not go beyond 13,000 ft in our outbound leadership courses. You’ll be accompanied on your trip by a very experienced guide and we’ll be taking all the recommended acclimatisation days to allow our bodies time to get used to the higher elevations. Most of the activities based out of Tumung or Uttarkashi do not happen on higher altitudes hence there is no need to worry.
