Many people dream of conquering Mount Everest. Climbing the world’s highest peak is the ultimate adventure. However, when we hear, read, and see pictures of Mount Everest, we are often not aware of the effort required. Moreover, many people don’t know how much it costs to climb Everest.
The Everest journey is very expensive. The financial challenge is as tough as the challenge of conquering Everest. A standard guided trip costs approximately 35,000 to 75,000 US dollars (about 30 – 70 lakh rupees). Sometimes the cost is even higher. This price includes climbing permits from Nepal, all expenses for Sherpa support (like tips and bonuses), oxygen cylinders, food, tents, ropes, insurance, logistics, and weeks, sometimes months, of preparation.
