| Kayaking
gear : Kayakers bring all of your own boating
gear (including floatation bags) and ask for an updated
list of available kayaks. Weather should be good and
water is relatively warm, but be prepared for the worst.
I would recommend both a dry top and a shortie cag.
Wet suit shorts are enough for the bottom. Booties/Tevas
are always a good idea. Small dry bag to carry daily
needs in kayak.
Rafting gear: We will supply you with
all specialist river equipment, helmets, lifejackets
and paddles. If you have a personal paddle jacket or
shortie / farmer John wet suit, please bring them.
Water bottle: Although we carry water
on the rafts, it’s always nice to have your own
bottle.
- Sleeping Bag

- River shoes/Tevas
- Sunglasses Extra pair never hurt.
- Sun block
- Sun hat or visor
- Headlight
- Extra batteries
- A good book
- Toiletries
- Small First Aid Kit
Shammy or small towel: The best alternative
to this is a wrap that is cheap and easy to buy once
you get over there. They make great pants/skirt also.
Other clothes: Bring polypro and synthetic
clothing. For women it is a good idea to have skirts
or wraps rather than shorts, especially when we are
trekking. Everyone will want to have t-shirts to wear
in public places.
Personal First Aid Kit: If you have
something you are particularly prone to: ear infections,
foot rot, or sinus problems, bring what you need with
you. You will definitely want to be carrying medicines
for common illnesses like diarrhea, infections and upset
stomachs, you will also need a complete set of inoculations
for Asia, ask your doctor for advise.
Food: Please bring any of your own
food: power bars, granola bars, dried fruit, chocolate,
always nice to have. Gatorade Powder is a great way
to drown out the taste of iodine in your drinking water.
