Across our 80 published trek packages, a guided trek costs a median of $132 a day for one person, with regional medians from $113 in Annapurna and Langtang to $213 in Jomsom and Mustang, and a group of two pays about 10% less per person. These figures come from our own published prices, read 3 October 2026, and are worked out as the one-person price divided by the trip length. They are a guide to the shape of the market, not a quote for any trip.
- Annapurna and Langtang are the cheapest regions, at a median of $113 a day.
- Everest and Manaslu have higher medians per day than Annapurna and Langtang.
- Groups save more as they grow. The biggest saving is at 4 or more people.
- Per-day prices mislead on short trips and luxury trips, so compare the full itinerary before you choose.
What does a trek cost per day in each region?
The median price per day is $113 in Annapurna and Langtang, $147 in Everest and $152 in Manaslu. Our Annapurna and Everest samples are large enough to trust; Manaslu (4 packages), Mardi Himal (3) and Jomsom and Mustang (3) are small, so their figures can move a lot with one package. Jomsom and Mustang’s $213 median rests on three packages.
| Region (published tag) | Packages | Median per day | Lowest | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annapurna | 25 | $113 | $96 | $150 |
| Everest | 15 | $147 | $132 | $300 |
| Manaslu | 4 | $152 | $144 | $163 |
| Langtang | 6 | $113 | $106 | $117 |
| Mardi Himal | 3 | $114 | $111 | $114 |
| Jomsom and Mustang | 3 | $213 | $123 | $225 |
| Not region-tagged (far-west, far-north and others) | 28 | $152 | $43 | $228 |
What are the cheapest and dearest packages per day?
The lowest is a three-day village walk at $43 a day, and the highest is a 14-day luxury Everest trek at $300 a day. The three-day walk is $130 in total; very short trips can show a low per-day figure, which is why the median is a better guide. At the top end, the 10-day Everest Base Camp trek with a helicopter return is $260 a day, and the 9-day Badimalika trek is $228 a day. A short trip or a helicopter sector pushes the per-day figure up or down, which is why the median is more useful than the extremes.
How much does a group save per person?
A pair saves a median 10% on the solo price, and a group of four or six saves a median 19%. Across our 80 packages, the saving for two people ranged from 7% to 20%, and for four or six from 8% to 31%. Our published group tiers put groups of four to seven in the same price band, so a party of six pays the same per person as a party of four. How the price per day changes with trek length is covered in our piece on trek price per day by length.
What should I take from this?
The regional medians sit between $113 and $152 a day, so check the total against the full itinerary, not the per-day figure. Our full price list is on each tour page. Browse the Everest Base Camp trek, the Annapurna Base Camp trek and the Badimalika trek for a sense of the range.
These are published solo prices divided by trip length, read on 3 October 2026. They do not include flights, insurance, tips or upgrades, and our published prices can change.
