Does anyone know if it is possible to buy/hire long trekking poles in Katmandhu? I use one here and they are particularly helpful when going down hill. My current one is too long to take and I don't want to risk cutting it in half and fitting a joint. Does anyone else use a long pole (55")?
Also anyone going on 15th April. I'd love to hear from anyone.

Hey Ian,
Thanks for your post.
You will certainly be able to buy hiking equipment in Kathmandu, it being a bit of a Mecca for trekkers. However if you are quite particular about your equipment, perhaps have a look for a telescopic, retractable one. Just an idea.
Kind Regards,
Robert
