a sun hat are ideal. Long trousers
are OK as they will protect your lower

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

about your dress in the hill tribe
village short and t shirts are OK
but nothing to revealing please.
