DIY ...
... (Do it yourself)
Hiring guide and porter in Nepal adds up your budget to some extent. An English-speaking good guide and porter cost you around 40$ and 20$ per day respectively. So do some research about the place and do it yourself.
We suggest hiring the guide and porter if you are a beginner or go for Everest Budget Trek offered by Trekking agency.
Plan to Camp
Everest region is enriched with natural beauty so grab a great chance to experience a sleep outside underneath the stars. Not only is the camping trek one of best ways to enjoy the mystery of Khumbu region, it’s one of affordable lodging option, too. In camping trek, you don’t have to pay more for food as you are the one who prepares food. In contrary, in tea house trek you have to pay for all the stuff, foods, lodging, and services. This sums up your budget and makes it expensive.
Be aware of food and drinks
The most expensive stuff during your trail to Everest is food. If you want to end up the trek within limit budget then it is wise to eat cheap cost food. Look the menu and ask about the pricing before ordering any sort of food stuff. It is wise to take water purifier and bottle along with you. Note- The price of food and drinks doubles as you ascent on higher altitude.
Everest Budget Trek
Everest Budget Trek is an itinerary package designed by the travel agency to fulfill the dream of trekking Everest in minimum cost. Basically, Everest Budget Trek lasts for (10-12 days) depending upon the cost and stops. Everest Budget Trek is comparatively less than other packages. Nepal Trekking packages are often negotiable. Everest Budget Trek is fruitful to the beginner who wishes to trek in limited cost.
Rent the gear
There are many things you need to prepare with before embarking your journey to Everest. The trekking equipment are expensive and are not quite useful other than trekking. You can find many rental offices in Kathmandu which provides all the essential equipment for trekking.
Ignore flight and use cheap mode of transportation
The flight from Kathmandu to Lukla costs around $165 for foreigners and $67 for each porter and guides. This is quite expensive so I recommend hiking to Lukla through Giri. Take a public transport to Jiri from Kathmandu and start your hiking towards Lukla. This hiking is also an opportunity to explore the unseen beauty and cultural beauty of that route. This also helps you to cut down the expenses.In cities, use public vehicles rather than taxis.
Trek in Group
Many travel agencies provide a special discount for those willing to trek in the group. Further, you also get a discount in many restaurants and hotels of Kathmandu if you go in the group. Lodging and eating in Teahouse are also comparatively cheap in a group. Our trek has free time in the evening for you to explore the destination at your own budget. Most places and services provide group discounts which limit your expenses, finally cost drops for each item significantly.
