Our suggested packing list should be used as a guide only. What you bring depends on where, when, how long, and why you are traveling, availability of laundry, and airline luggage weight restrictions. Remember to include some items for when things don’t go to plan (wet weather gear, waterproof bags even if traveling during dry months). If you’re doing trekking or hiking, make sure your shoes are well tested. Should you need further clarification or have any questions please reach out to the specific Khiri country for assistance
