Additional Cost Planning

Trail Necessities:

  • Hot Showers: Tea houses may charge $2-3 for a warm shower, particularly at higher elevations.
  • Charging Electronics: Tea houses may allow you to charge your electronics for $1-3 per piece. Bringing a portable charger is convenient.

Food & Treats:

  • Extra Meals: Depending on where you are, you may want to purchase more snacks or lunches, which cost between $5 and $10.
  • Drinks: Expect to spend $1-3 per water bottle. Other drinks may be more expensive, so use a reusable bottle and water filter to save money and prevent waste.

Staying Connected:

  • Wi-Fi: While many guest houses offer Wi-Fi, it can be slow and expensive, typically costing US$2-3 per day. If you need internet access, consider downloading maps and entertainment beforehand.

Remember that prices might vary, so use these estimates as a guideline.

Please look at your spending patterns for drinks, snacks, and gifts.

Note: Carry Nepali Rupees for incidental expenses. While some tea shops accept US dollars, possessing the local currency eliminates conversion problems and ensures you have the correct amounts for smaller transactions.

Down Jacket

A down jacket, also known as a puffer jacket, is a quilted coat filled with soft feathers from a duck or goose. It's a popular choice for cold climates and higher altitudes due to its excellent warmth-to-weight ratio. Hikers, trekkers, and backpackers prefer them for their extreme comfort, lightweight, and compressibility, making them easy to pack without taking up much space. The down jacket we provide is ideal for wearing and sleeping during high-altitude treks, providing excellent insulation and comfort. Please return it once the trek is completed to preserve it for the next adventurers.

It is also ideal for wearing and sleeping during high-altitude treks, providing excellent insulation and comfort. Please return it once the trek is completed to preserve it for the next adventures.

The sleeping bags we use are mummy-shaped, with a zip that opens and closes, keeping the top tight around you. They are used in cold and wet climates at high altitudes( -20°C to  -25°C maximum temperature), giving you protection and comfort. They are also lightweight and compact, making them easy to carry on long treks. The sleeping bag is returned after the trek, helping us maintain our gear for future adventurers.
