maybe it would help if you specify what "equipment" you want? Trucks? Aeroplanes? Kayaks? Boots?

I think most places in Kathmandu rent good stuff, BUT watch this : jacket and pants and fleeces are even cheaper when you buy them. It is also a nice gift to yourself or a Nepali when you go back home. The quality of the material is Korean, which is less quality then the TNF or Marmot stuff, but for a 3 week trek there is no difference.

Should you not find it, there is also a new real TNF store, so that will always help.

Glasses : if you still can , better buy at home, seems they are quite expensive.

Have a nice trip,

Peter

lots of places in Thamal to rent stuff, best selection if you are not too tall. Plastic boots might be limited, if you needed them.

go & see Shona & Andy at SHONA's - great gear (sale or hire) and great service.
