A small wardrobe that works across the day is more useful than a separate outfit for every stop. Think about comfort, local expectations and the activities in your actual itinerary.
01 / Start here
Build around a few useful pieces
Choose loose, comfortable clothing you can layer and rewear. Check how much walking you expect and bring footwear you have already used comfortably. Keep a warmer layer accessible on transfer days rather than buried at the bottom of your bag.
02 / Make it practical
Ask about the places you will visit
The FCDO advises modest dress, with shoulders and legs covered in public, and head covering for women at mosques, holy places and in rural areas. Ask your host or guide about requirements at a specific site, including shoes and areas open to visitors. A light scarf can be useful to keep close.
03 / Before you go
Match the wardrobe to the route
Look at expected conditions for each overnight stop and your planned activities. A city stay and a mountain excursion should not share an unexamined packing list. If you plan to buy clothing locally, allow time to choose fit and comfort instead of depending on it for your first day.
