Women Kilimanjaro Packing List – For people who are not familiar with Female-Centric Kilimanjaro Packing List, here are some of the things that are recommended:-   

Dark Fingernail Polish

It is recommended because, it helps in covering the dirt under the nails of women. A few coats of the dark fingernail polish will help you out in feeling better while hiking the mountain.

Panty Liners

Many women trekkers are worried about hygiene on a trek. “It’s not as difficult to stay hygienic as it seems.

Staying hygienic on treks requires some effort, especially during the time of monthly periods. Yes, you won’t get to take bath as you don’t have that much water on Kilimanjaro. So that time panty liners help you to keep dry and hydrate. 

Something Sentimental – By the time you make it to  Uhuru Peak you will be physically exhausted and possibly delirious. It’s  an emotional experience and I recommend bringing something sentimental  to take a photo of (or share a personal moment with) at the top.

Gifts For Your Porters – You will get to know (and  love) the group of 20-25 men who help you to get to the top. They carry  your bags, filter your water, set up your tents, clap and sing for you  upon return to camp each day — they’re amazing! A gift of any size will  help to say “THANK YOU.”

Shampoo + Conditioner – You won’t use it

Random Tips
If you get cold at night (which you  will), use your heavy jacket as an extra blanket on top of your sleeping  bag instead of wearing it. Trust, it will make a big difference.

Practice replacing your headlamp batteries before summit night, as  you don’t want to get caught in the dark, fumbling around with tiny  screws.

Create a “Summit Night” iPod playlist ahead of time, making sure that  it’s at least 8-hours long and will get you to the top! Keep your iPod  deep in a breast pocket so it doesn’t freeze.

Try to time your trek so that you summit on or near a full moon. The  amount of light makes a huge difference, and you may not even need a  headlamp. Some companies charge more for luxury. Kilimanjaro Brothers  does not.
