Ultralight Framed Backpack Lukla 38L
Lukla 38 is a weekend mountain backpack with an ideal size and shape for short trips and training sessions. It’s perfect for a two-person hike in the Carpathians — a lightweight tent, two sleeping bags, cooking kit, and a warm layer fit easily inside. It also works great as a training pack — rope, harness, climbing gear, crampons, and tools. Or for trekking to Everest Base Camp with your own sleeping bag and light insulation.
