How to wear layers: To understand layering your clothing for yatra you need to know the fuction of each layer.
It is better to have goose down with more then 550 fill power. SKY do provide jacket for yatra but it advisable to carry your own jacket which fits you well. Please note that this is going to be your third or fourth layer. So it should not be tight.
The third layer should be thin sleevless jacket.
SKY will provide poncho which will protect you from rain but its advisable to carry one waterproof jacket and rain or SKI pants. SKI pant is good idea during parikrama which protects from rains and also from cold weather
The base layer is in direct contact with your skin to do its job, so you want a body fit. Your options for thermals are midweight and heavy weight. Contact SKY for more information.
During the yatra you will require 5 pairs of Casual clothing, Trekpant & T-shirt, Salwar suits are also good. Please not that this will be your second or third layer so it should not be body tight. You can avoide wearing heavy jeans and thik t shirts.
Hiking socks are rarely made from a single fabric, but rather from a blend that creates the right balance of comfort, warmth, durability and fast drying.
During the yatra you will require 4 Pairs of Woolen Socks. Wool is the most popular hiking sock material and the one that our footwear specialists recommend above all others. It regulates temperature well to keep your feet from getting sweaty and it provides cushioning.
During Yatra you will require 6 Pairs of Cotton Socks.
During Yatra you will require 1 pair of Heat socks. This will keep your feet warm in cold nights.
