Gele Trekking recommends that all equipment should be lightweight and quick-dry. During the trek, there are no proper laundry services or drying facilities. All clothes will need to be hand-washed and sun-dried. While some places may offer laundry services, they are often unreliable, and washing machines are rarely used. Please refer to this during your preparation.
