Birding Paradise in Putao Valley

Baggage:
As general rule when packing for wilderness expeditions keep personal gear to a minimum. Please avoid large framed suitcase as they can be rather cumbersome to porters but use a medium size duffle bag instead. The weight limit on domestic airlines is 20 Kg and excess baggage will be charged at up to US$ 5 per Kg. Your day pack should be a medium volume without a frame which can hold your personal belonging such as medication, photographic equipment and water etc.

Clothing:
Should be lightweight, dry quickly, and provide insulation even when wet, synthetic fiber is preferable to cotton. The brushed nylon pants are ideal for trekking. Lightweight long sleeved shirt is useful as sunscreen and leeches protection while trekking. A good quality raincoat and pants are ideal as hey will keep you warm and dry in a variety of situations. A thick sweater or fleece sweat shirt is ideal to wear in the evenings, when temperatures decline considerably. A lightweight jacket or windbreaker will also be useful.

Foot ware:
Lightweight hiking boots or good quality running shoes are must for the lowland trek. For longer treks and higher altitude treks waterproof pants, gaiters, additional socks, thermal hats and gloves are highly recommended. It is essential your walking boots be comfortable and broken-in.

Personal items
Please also bring personal item such as flashlight or headlamp with spare batteries, water bottle and lighter. A pocketknife, reading and writing material and personal first aid kit would also be essential for your convenience.

Protection against insect bite:
Most part the jungle is free from biting insects, but we do encounter insects in the low land such as sand flies around the river banks and leaches in the lowland bushes. It's important to use insect repellent to keep the insects away.
