What to buy: We then went on a shopping galore as Pokhara (and/or Katmandu) is full of good quality inexpensive trekking equipment. Just keep in mind that when you see a brand name it will be a fake so the quality will certainly not be the same as the original, but its good none-the-less. Stuff you can buy includes sandals, hiking boots, jackets, water purifying tablets, flashlights, first aid stuff, munchies/food, and just about any trekking related thing you will need. More on detailed tips below.
