CLOTHING
Due to wide range of temperature and climate conditions, it is advisable to bring appropriate clothing. For protection against cold; layered clothing is better than a few thick ones, so choose your cloths accordingly. Cloths should be preferably be made from natural materials, which allow the body to breathe better. You will be offending people if you walk around in skimpy or tight fitting or exposing clothes. Although there are normally opportunities to wear shorts, we would advise women to wear shirts or loose trousers, men should not wear singlets. During visit of monasteries, Dzong and the other religious institutions you should not wear shorts, hats and should be properly dressed.

WHAT TO PACK
The following is a fairly exhaustive list of what you should pack for the trip:
Clothes as per seasons, sunglasses,/ spare glasses or contact lenses, pair of casual shoes, washing kit, shaving kit, towel, hat, umbrella, camera, film and accessories, books, maps, insect repellent, hand cream, small sewing kit, safety pins, torch or flash light with spare batteries, mirror, nail clippers, scissors, sun cream, lip salve or soluble aspirin, antiseptic cream, anti-histamine cream [for relief of insect bites], anti diarrhoea, preparation of relief of sunburn etc.
