Backpacking is a great way to see things you would never see otherwise. It's true that taking the local buses lets you see an aspect of the culture you would miss but traveling on foot is another way to see how locals get around as they do a lot of walking from place to place. Many places are only accessible on foot. It's also a great way to get some exercise in and burn the calories you invariably consume when traveling!
Equipment: A backpack allows you to carry everything you need and gives you freedom from any form of transportation. You leave when you like, not at 4 AM on the bus! You'll need sturdy boots as he extra weight on your back requires more support. You'll need to carry rain gear as you are at the mercy of the elements. A walking stick comes in handy on steep slopes especially when carrying a pack.
