The streets of Thamel in Kathmandu are filled with trekking gear shops. There are brand-name stores, and knock-off stores where you can purchase every single thing on this trekking in Nepal packing list. However, be weary that the quality of the items you buy in Kathmandu may not be the best.
Anything that would be devastating to have fall apart during your trek, you should buy in your home country (or at one of the legit name-brand stores in Kathmandu, which may cost a premium). This includes your backpack, hiking boots, your outer layers like jackets and hiking pants. Small items, like fleece, long-sleeved shirts, etc. can be purchased in Kathmandu.
Pharmacy goods like ibuprofen, cough drops, and water purifying tablets may be the cheapest to purchase in Kathmandu.
**Be sure to consult your doctor before starting any new medication in Nepal, such as Diamox, for preventing altitude sickness.
