Some (low) budget tours offer limited extras, while more comfortable tours often already provide their clients with towels, rain ponchos and rain boots. However, if you your size is bigger than 44 European size or 11 USA size, then the lodge might not have these sizes available. Please inform your travel agent wit your booking if you have big feet.
