Osprey Stratos 34 is big enough to fit the necessities and small enough to make you pack with a minimalist mentality. With the help of porters, “Daypacks” can become “weekpacks.” Although there is some controversy surrounding the exploitation of porters, if you pay fair wages for fair loads, you’re supporting the local economy. For a minimum of about 1,300 rupees a day (about 13 bucks) a porter will carry a 30-kilo load.  You can rock a light and comfortable pack like the Stratos 34 and let the miles melt away.
