The mountain sun is strong in spring — use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a cap.

Choose easy-moderate and moderate treks or low-altitude treks (up to 13,000 ft) for the best spring experience as a beginner. 

What Trekking Gear Do You Need For A Spring Trek?

Spring trekking gear is lighter than winter gear. Days are pleasantly warm, but mornings and evenings can still be chilly.

• Collared T-shirts: Carry two collared, quick-dry tees — they protect your neck from the strong mountain sun.
• Quick-dry trek pants: Two pairs are enough. They stay light and dry quickly if you encounter melting snow or spring showers.

How Should You Choose The Right Spring Trek?
