How much is the Everest Base Camp trek and what will it cost you in total?

The classic package to Everest Base Camp on a 15-day trip with EverTrek is £2,350 per person, which includes pretty much everything you'll need in Nepal. From your accommodation and food, your guiding team, transport, all permits, filtered water on the trek as well as alot more.

You can download the full list of whats included on our trip walkthrough guide right here.

So from when you land to when you leave, pretty much everything is covered for you in the cost of the trip. There are some additional costs for things like paying for beers, souvenirs, soft drinks and some heritage site fees(£25) or if you need things like WIFI on the trek or for charging electrical devices they will add to the cost. In terms of spending money for all of this, I recommend taking around £200 - £250 for extras.

The other main costs of your trip will be your international flights, which we don't organize for you so you will have to arrange this yourself. We can recommend some great companies to use to help save you some money on this but normally the international flight costs between £400-£800 for a return flight from London.

Then there will be your tips for your guiding team which we normally suggest is about 10% of your trip cost. Although not compulsory it's culturally expected in Nepal and is a great way to give appreciation to your guiding team after an awesome two weeks of trekking.

Those are the biggest costs.

The next thing to cover is your trekking and travel insurance. It’s compulsory with any trekking company, including ours, to have specific trekking insurance for high altitude. We can highly recommend a few trekking insurance companies and one in particular, who I use myself is True Traveller Insurance. It costs around £100/£120 for full cover to Everest Base Camp and Kala Patthar and also includes helicopter evacuation. We've had people who've used them and they've had really good service, so I highly recommend them.

The next thing is going to be your equipment for the trek. If you have most of this already then you may not need to spend so much on that. However, if you’re new to the trekking world or you haven't got any hiking boots, down jacket, maybe a sleeping bag or a duffel bag, or anything at all then you will need these for the trip so you might need to allocate some budget for this. If you wanted to save some money, you can actually purchase most of this in Thamel, Kathmandu where it's a trekking equipment paradise. So you can get loads of items there or any last minute items like a water bottle or some trekking poles, travel adapters, things like that.

So those are the costs for the Everest Base Camp trek.

We do provide free hire of a North Face down jacket, 80ltr duffel bag and a winter rated sleeping bag so if you don’t have these, just let us know before you arrive and we can arrange this for you for free.
