Hey all! I'm going to be hiking the three passes trek in Nepal from late April-mid May of 2025. I'm currently at a bag weight of 16.5 lbs without water and I'm looking for ways to cut weight. I'd also like to know if there's anything important I'm missing or things I should change out.

Items with an astrix mean that I have not bought it yet. I'm also planing on not bringing a sleeping bag since I'll be hiking later in the year and also not bringing treking poles since I've never used them before. Should I bring either of these?

A final note is that I'm planning on using my Osprey Fairpoint 40 that I already own. Should I opt to buy an actual backpacking backpack instead (my old one doesn't fit me anymore), or will the Fairpoint work out?

Any other advice is appreciated!
