EQUIPMENT

For summer trekking expeditions, you should have a 3 season sleeping bag, mat, trekking boots, raingear, sunhat, suncream and a daysack. Trekking poles are advisable. If you are not with a trekking group, you will also need a tent, cooking equipment, water bottles and thermos. No food is available inside the national park; supplies can be bought at Nigde; some limited supplies are available at Camardi.

For climbing expeditions, you need a full range of technical climbing gear; consult one of the university clubs (see links) or Middle Earth Travel about organising your own climbing expedition.
