Monsoon in Nepal typically starts from June and lasts till August. While trekking/hiking during this very season can often be very daunting, sometimes it might just be a perfect wild adventure if one is equipped with the right gears and equipment.
Sure, it often gets quite intriguing when it comes down to breaking down the gears for the trip. In this blog, you might be just able to find a few gears that you might probably want to take with you for your monsoon trip !
1.Waterproof Jacket
One can never really go wrong with buckling up a jacket that shields you from both wind and water. Our Nirvana Lightweight Jacket features a seam-sealed construction and a breathable polyester mesh lining
allowing the adjustable, removable hoods adding to its versatility. The jacket is also designed with a covered, secured-zip hand pockets and the front zipper for extra protection. Nirvana Light Jacket(JHARI) could thus be your ultimate companion for the wet weather.
2. Rain Poncho
Rain Poncho are one of the basic yet inextricable gear that one has-to-have whether one is aiming for hiking, trekking or just travelling for any regular day. Keeping one in a backpack from cool summer to fall evenings can always be a safe option.
Naturehike 3 in 1 Multifunctional Poncho Raincoat can be used as a raincoat, poncho and canopy. The inside of the front edge of the hat is reinforced with hard fabric, while the multifunctional raincoat makes the brim wider and has a shape that prevents rain from dripping on the face. The waterproof effect on the poncho raincoat is better, and the pressure’s glue soft degree is upgraded, which is more suitable for the raincoat surface, natural and comfortable.
3. Backpack Cover:
One will always need to stretch out for cover to protect a backpack. We suggest you go for Naturehike backpack rain cover as it is made up of tear-resistant polyester fabric and is aided with an elastic rim around the backpack, with a buckle strap added on the top of the cover that prevents it from slipping off a backpack. The cover is compact, lightweight and is fit for hiking, camping, cycling, travelling and any other outdoor activities.

5. Waterproof and Slip resistant shoes/boots:
Outdoor adventure can be exhilarating but it can also pose significant risk if one is not equipped with the right gear.
