Some of the important Travel Equipments while travelling to Nepal:
Sleeping Bag
You'll probably want a high quality down bag like this one from Mountain equipment shop A fiberfill bag will be warm enough except in late December and January Insulated jacket
It's cold up there; be sure you have a warm insulated jacket
If you're not going high, a lighter jacket will be enough. You won't need one in April and May

Day-pack
If you have a porter you'll need only a day pack If you're carrying all your gear, you'll need a larger pack
Extra Equipment
Water Bottle
Don't forget this. Forget all the complicated stuff, buy a good Nalgene bottle that does not leak and you can take it to bed as a hot water bottle.
