Shoes and clothes for travel:

When choosing clothes to participate in an active tour, keep in mind that they must protect you from wind, rain, sun, insects and mechanical damage (branches, grass, stones). We recommend taking specialized clothing for tourism and sports made of synthetic materials, as it provides good ventilation, dries quickly, does not crumple, and is more comfortable when moving. The main principle is layering: hot – undressed, cold – insulated.

Comfortable sports shoes. Two pairs with non-slip soles are required!

  • the first pair is high waterproof boots (if there are treking shoes, it is better to take them). As an alternative for autumn: lightweight rubber (without liner) EVA boots;
  • The second pair is sneakers with non–slip soles;
  • rubber flip-flops for visiting thermal springs and walking around the base by room.

In autumn, take clothes for warm and cool weather.

  • The jacket is windproof, waterproof;

  • fleece jacket (required! – for all weather conditions);
  • a set of thermal underwear (optional). Can be used as a bottom layer;
  • warm wool socks (merino, alpaca) 1 pair. Look at the fishing shop – they know a lot about warm clothes;
  • scarf / fleece gaiter (baffik) / warm shawl – to insulate the throat and neck;
  • a cap;
  • gloves are warm (fleece is better).

For warm weather:

  • synthetic T-shirts 2-3 pcs.;
