a sun hat are ideal. Long trousers
are OK as they will protect your lower
legs more but will be hotter to wear.

at least a sturdy pair of running
shoes should be worn. Some people
trek with sandals but they do leave
your feet open to be scratched by
vegetation also flip flops (thongs)
aren’t appropriate as they don't provide
enough support. In the rainy season
from April to October bring a rain
coat. Bring a change of clothes for
after the rafting. Please be sensitive
about your dress in the hill tribe
village short and t shirts are OK
but nothing to revealing please.
