I am planning to hike through the cloud forest. How cold does it get at night and what are the essential items for leeches and rain.

The Knuckles Range is unpredictable. Temperatures can drop to ten degrees Celsius at night, so a thermal layer and a fleece are vital. Essential gear includes a high quality waterproof jacket and dedicated leech socks. Do not rely on just salt or soap. The mist can be thick, so a headlamp is mandatory. Most importantly, carry a dry bag for your electronics as the humidity is very high even when it is not raining.
