Thanks to all who have replied so far.
I've copied the responses to a document I can study and compare to what
I'd already learned/planned/thought of, so that I can use it to refine
the plan.
Still don't know if this is ever going to come off. Finances remain the
largest constraint.
OK, but how many undies are you going to take?

Enough that I'll always have a clean pair to change into if needed. Same
for socks.

I would appreciate some thoughts on what constitutes the *essential*
kit. What will you need to carry to get the job done?
I've done this sort of thing several times in Africa, India and various
remote parts
I guess most would suggest at least one zoom.
Still, under your circumstances, my suggestions are as belows:
- K5 body and grip with two batteries and a charger.
- DA 15mm f/4, a 31 or 40mm prime, DA 70mm.
- I doubt if you miss a stronger telephoto...
In fact, I am packing for a 4-day-trip now.

For low light, I would recommend a lightweight tabletop tripod, such as:

I like this list, but I'd make a couple of changes. I'd leave the primes home
-- they're only slightly faster than the zooms, and with the noise levels of
the K-5, totally unnecessary -- and I'd bring the DA* 60-250. I'd be lost
without long glass in some situations. I do like Bob's suggestion
I'm on a long, rambling trip right now.
All of my luggage and gear is stored in a carryon sized rollaway bag
and a Think Tank Photo Urban Disguise 35 v2 bag. I have FAR more
camera equipment along than I really need .. matter of fact, I've done
effectively *all* my shooting on this trip so far
