Nepal trek cost calculator

Estimate what a trek costs per person — and how much you save by sharing a guide and porter.

The Nepal trek cost calculator estimates what a trek costs per person for the region, route and month you choose. It adds permits and park fees for your nationality group, a licensed guide and porters, teahouse rooms and meals, local transport and a tips and safety buffer. Guide and porter costs are shared across the group, so changing the group size shows how much you save by trekking with partners instead of alone. Nepali trekkers see Nepali teahouse and permit rates and do not need a guide, while foreign trekkers pay higher permit fees and need a guide in restricted regions. Every figure is an approximate mid-range estimate that you can switch between budget, mid-range and comfort styles and between currencies. Check the final prices with your agency or the Nepal Tourism Board before you book. When the numbers work, post your trek and find partners for your dates.

Nepal trek costs: questions answered

It depends on the region, the number of days and your style. The calculator adds permits, a guide and porter, teahouses, food and transport, so pick your route and group size to see a per-person estimate and a cost per day. Treat it as a planning figure and confirm prices with your agency.

Yes. Nepali trekkers pay Nepali teahouse rates and lower permit fees, and they do not need a licensed guide. Choose the Nepali nationality group in the calculator to see the difference. SAARC nationals have their own permit fee group, and all other foreign trekkers pay the standard foreigner fees.

Only the guide, porter and any private jeep are shared costs; permits, food and teahouse rooms are paid per person. The guide and porter are a shared cost, so each person pays the total divided by the group size. A group of four pays a quarter each instead of the full amount. Change the group size in the calculator to see your share, and the caption shows the cost per person for that group.

Restricted areas such as Manaslu and Upper Mustang require a licensed guide and a permit arranged through a registered agency. In other regions the calculator lets you switch the guide on or off. Read the guide rule page for the latest rules before you plan.

Permits and park fees for your nationality group, a licensed guide and porters if you choose them, teahouse rooms and meals, local transport, and a tips and contingency buffer. International flights, travel insurance, gear and drinks beyond meals are not included.

It gives approximate mid-range figures built from permit fees and typical teahouse, food and transport prices, and they change by season and year. Use it to compare routes and group sizes, then confirm the final price with your agency, the Nepal Tourism Board or the Department of Immigration.
