Overview

Treiking in Nepal, you can buy or hire trekking gear. The elaboration of the two is below:

Hiring Trekking Gear
Availability You find a number of shops in towns like Kathmandu and Pokhara where you get trekking gear on hire, including sleeping bags, trekking poles, jackets, and boots.
Cost-Effective Renting can be cheaper since not everyone may be trekking regularly.

Variety and Quality Most rental shops have a selection of good gear. If you’re not quite sure what you want to buy, this is an added advantage.

Convenience You will not have to travel with extra luggage when you rent equipment.

Buying Trekking Equipment
Personal Preference: Owning your own personal gear may be a much better option if you plan on trekking more often.

Familiarity Owning your equipment only means that you have gotten used to the equipment, which might increase your trekking experience.

Durability The better the quality of equipment you purchase, the better performance and longevity you get on future treks.

Recommendations
Renting: If you’re new or just going for a small trip, then renting is practical.

Buy: For frequent trekkers, buying essential items such as boots, a backpack, and a sleeping bag will give comfort and better fits. Conclusion
Both have their merits, so consider the plans you have for trekking and the frequency to opt for what suits you best. For recommendations of rental shops or specific gear, just let me know!
