Merrell hiking boots are incredibly comfortable. I would recommend waterproof for this trek.
Comfortable Hiking Boots
Most lodges provide gaiters but I would definitely check. Gaiters are important because of the terrain.
Leg Gaiters
Collapsible trekking poles are good to have. Most lodges will have walking sticks but the poles are much more comfortable.
Trekking Poles and Hiking Sticks
Breathable shirts that are easily layered are great - the weather change dramatically during the hike.
Breathable Long Sleeve Shirt
Comfortable pants are a must! Waterproof is a bonus.
Waterproof Hiking Pants
You'll want to have tall hiking socks. Tucking your pants into the socks helps keep the ants and other bugs out of your boots.
Darn Tough Socks
Be sure to pack a lightweight rain jacket.
Rain Jacket
I carried this small bag to keep chap stick and sunglasses with me. Travelon material cannot be cut (anti-theft) so I knew thorns, etc. wouldn't damage it1
Travelon Small Crossbody Bag
You'll want good gloves because you may be pulling yourself up the side of a mountain and using trees and vegetation that can have thorns or ants that bite!
