Price on request until our first season’s rates are set. Here is what goes into the total, so you can compare quotes like for like.
What a package usually includes
- Return flight Kathmandu (or Ramechhap) to Lukla
- Permits and entry fees (see permits)
- Licensed guide and, if you want one, a porter, with their insurance, food and lodging
- Teahouse rooms for the trek nights
What other companies charge
| Type of company | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Nepal-based operators | US$1,075–2,999; median about US$1,500, or US$95 a day |
| International mid-range brands | US$1,399–1,749, plus about US$400–700 for meals |
| International premium brands | about US$3,000–7,300, before internal flights |
These are prices listed on operators’ own websites, checked on 1 October 2026, per person for two people sharing. Inclusions vary, so compare like for like: some international brands leave out most trek meals, which adds roughly US$400 or more to what you actually pay.
What you pay on the trail
Meals, hot showers, charging and Wi-Fi are usually paid per item in teahouses, and prices rise with altitude because everything above Lukla is carried up by porters or yaks.

Travel insurance
You need travel insurance that covers trekking up to at least 6,000 m and helicopter evacuation. Check the altitude limit in the policy wording, not just the summary.
