Before going on a jungle trek, some things have to be taken care of.
A few items you need to bring:
• Extra pants and shirt with long sleeves for during the night.
• Closed shoes, long trousers and t-shirt for the actual trekking. Flip flops or sandals for the camp site
• Hat or cap
• Sun lotion, insect repellent
• Small towel, toiletry, bathing suite
• Lighter
• Personal basic first aid kit
The total weight of a back pack set is 5.5 kg (excluding personal items)
When you go on a trek you always wear boots or shoes, which protect your feet, long pants. A hat or cap you might want to consider. Apply insect repellent from the ankle to just under the knee to avoid leeches in the wet season. In case a leech is attached to your body, don’t pull it off. Use a knife or something similar to scrape them simply off. Leeches however don’t transmit any diseases.
