trekking attire for women

I will be trekking in the Annapurna foothills in October. Do women really need to wear skirts while trekking as I have heard? I am much more comfortable (and covered) wearing pants. What do women wear in the dining rooms of teahouses whilst trekking? What to wear for casual dining in Kathmandu?

Don%26#39;t know much about trekking in Nepal but if that is the case I%26#39;d wear a light skirt over a pair of pants/leggings. I%26#39;ll ask my Nepali friends though and post tomorrow.

Namaste! From Kathmandu/Nepal.

You can wear full/half pants while trekking in Annapurna foothill. If you need lists of trekking equipment, please send me a private message. I can supply more information about trekking in Nepal soon.

I just trekked in the Everest region for two weeks in zip-off trekking pants. You do not need to wear a skirt, as I saw dozens of other women in same gear as I wore.

you can choose the attire in which you are comfortable, i think pair of jeans or cargo will do don%26#39;t do for skits any thing which is open.

More over you can ask your agent/tour operator or check some websites.

Okay, I just got back yesterday from doing the Poon Hill trek in the annapurna foothills. It was amazing!!!! I was concerned about wearing a skirt too; some people said it would be good for bathroom breaks out in the open, etc. Well, I did NOT bring one, and I have to tell you, I can%26#39;t imagine hiking in one now!!! I wore shorts to my knee, or just below (pedal pushers??) and it was perfect. One thing that I didn%26#39;t realize on this trek is that the uphill is largely stairs!!!! It%26#39;s like a 500 year old staircase or something, but the steps are anyway from 5 inches to 15 inches high. That was the tough part - forget working on your cardio - start doing squats and walking lunges, I%26#39;m not kidding!!!! There are tea houses all along the way, so you can use their squat boxes to go to the bathroom. A skirt would%26#39;ve gotten my feet all tangled up while walking the steps. Bring a packet of baby wipes too. . . . If you have any other questions, I%26#39;d be happy to answer. . .
