Taman Negara Packing Lists

A backpack size 50-70, average weight 20kgs each person for 6 days. (Unless you want to hire porters to carry your bags)

Bring your worn-out t-shirt and dirty short or long pants because you don't want to keep them after the climb. These items above are only for day time hiking use and they are unchanged until the last day which means you only carry the weight of one junk t-shirt, one short or long hiking pants and socks.

Another lightweight t-shirt and lightweight pants are needed for after bath wear. These two items must be kept clean and dry inside 2 layers of big plastic bags.

Rain jacket is a must, very important and very useful but make sure you buy the lightweight rain jacket.

Lightweight sleeping jacket is also a must for the night at the peak is very cold. So please bring a long sleeves lightweight jacket for a good sleep together with long sleeping pants and a pair of socks for sleeping as well. These 2 items are only for night use, not for day use. Make sure you wrap them up with your plastic bag at least 2 layers to prevent from wet or in case your backpack fallen into river.

Bring only a toothbrush and a toothpaste as lightweight as possible, don't bring a huge tube of toothepaste. Bring a soap or a small bottle of body shampoo. All these toiletries items must be separated from others in a special plastic bag.

Lightweight camera, you will regret if you carry a heavy camera.

Foods for 6 days or 7 days must be well arranged beforehand. If your team have climbers all able to jog 30 minutes non-stop or more, you can rest assure to pack a 6-day foods. If your team has climbers barely able to jog 25 minutes or even less, you must pack foods for 7 days. This is how you pack foods.

You need to have many small size plastic bags to individually pack your foods, for instance you pack rice into 6 small bags so that each day you use one bag. Do this to all other foods as well.
