Sleeping bag is needed even in September/October. You can buy sleeping bags and other gear/tools in Pohkara, many shops selling trekking stuff along the "lake side". Many of the stuff are made in China, most popular brands can be found in stock, North Face, Columnbia, etc. you name it.

But most of them are fake, so even the temperature rating on a sleeping bag says "-15c", it usually would not keep you warm at -15c (some kind shop keepers told me this), but it probably will keep your warm at -5c.

You can negotiate a good price to get one sleeping bag and then try to sell it back to the shops after back from trekking, I heard many people did that :-)

You got to bring along with power plug adapters of all kinds possible. Chances are you will find some power sockets in the form you have never seen in life ;-)

When I was there late last year, no GSM coverage at all, even in Kathmandu, but that could be my service provider (not from China) did not have a deal with the local services.

Generally speaking, trekking is quite safe. Just don't trek alone in routes less people go, there were reports that trekkers being attacked at head from behind and lost all valuable belongings (luckly some locla people found him, carried him down to a village and had him treated). Join others in a group if you like, and it's a great experience to trek and talk with people from all over the world. Not sure about CDMA though.

Off my head, here are some other important items,
Water purifier (above Chomrong, you can't buy bottled mineral water, boiled water are availbe from guest houses, but it's safer to add water purifier, and it adds flavours too);

Toilet paper (it's useful not just in toilet);

Sun block lotion (at high altitude, sun burn can be very serious and make trekking much less enjoyable);

Enjoy your trip to Nepal, Never Ending Peace and Love :-)

( Sorry for all the above in English, can't type in Chinese now, but hey, you got to speak in English during the trip :-P )
