You can try getting the backpack from Queensway Shopping Centre or Peninsula Plaza (Cityhall).

Depending on your needs and the amount of space you need:
- How many litres is the bag? Are there any extension or how many compartments.
- Shoulder padding and good support. Good padding and support is needed since you would be carrying most of the time.
- Rain cover but not essential.

You can try getting Deuter bags. They are quite popular and durable.

Try: Backpackers Alley, 302 Tiong Bahru Rd #02-18 Singapore 168732, Tel : 6276-3711

You could also try bugis street..I've seen some stalls selling backpacks. The price of the pack should roughly be ard the size (no. of litres) So if ur buying 60litre bag, expect to pay at least $60 - 80. If you buy the branded stuff, it will definitely be more ex.

Regarding the size to buy, i went to Europe on a mth long trip on 70 litre bag so i think that shld be suficient for ur trip.

Other things to look out for: no. of compartments (any for keeping shoes), whether it has a rain cover, whether u feel comfortable carrying it.

Have a gd time in TIbet!

A good friend of mine backpacks & tracks around the world, including Tibet. He gets most stuff from Beach Road. When it comes to good shoes, he goesto Queenstown, & as for bags, Queenstown or camping shops in shopping centres.
