Not exact weigh is fixed for me when I am going to trekking.
Some of important items which are useful is necessary to carry at the time of trekking.
It is almost 50 KG with all the bags weigh necessary.

During my first days in the trekking, first two or three times I used to take the backpacking of aroung 40-45 lbs, but I was not afraid of taking this much, instead I used to enjoy these hard condition in trekking, but slowly I started to reduce the backpacking and now it weighs around 20-25 lbs.

Trim your load from 40 pounds to 25 or 20, and you don't need the big pack with the beefy suspension — a more streamlined pack will do, and it alone may save three pounds or more. Modern packs employ lighter materials that are just as strong as older ones, and designs that cut ounces without reducing load-carrying capacity; in short, slimmer, lighter packs carry more weight comfortably today than in the past.

I actually pack only the essential things and some i buy the use and throw to reduce the weight. I certainly keep the weight below 50kg.

I try to keep it between 20-25 lbs. Anything more and I get tired to easily and it seems to cost more energy than I can gain by carrying extras.

Dont have an exact weight to carry. In each trip the weight varies and it depends on the trip and how long we are gonna stay, also depends on the number of person.

At the start of the trek, you will be carrying your day pack loaded with just the items you will need during the day of hiking. Your packed trek bag/duffle bag will be carried by either human porters or pack animals and should weigh no more than 33 pounds (27.5 pounds for Pakistan treks).

Mostly we fix the weight and we pack accordingly. This helps a lot as the weight is less, the more advantage is for us.
