Additional Cost Planning

Apart from the significant costs of your Mera Peak trip package, you will need to budget for specific additional fees. Here's a simple plan to help you budget while still having a good time:

Trail Necessities:

  • Hot Gas Showers: Tea houses may charge $5-7 for a warm shower, particularly at higher elevations.
  • Charging Electronics: Tea houses may allow you to charge your electronics for $4-6 per hour with solar power. 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 $20.
  • Drinks: Expect to spend $1-4 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, they also provide Air-link and Everest-Link cards, which typically cost 700-800 rupees for 24 hours. 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.

By budgeting for these things, you'll be better prepared to deal with unexpected costs and enjoy your Everest  Base Camp Short route!

Dining on the EBC or Mera Peak Trek: From Classic Favorites to Local Delights

Lunch and dinner on the Everest Region trek are a delicious adventure. Dal Bhat, a traditional Nepali cuisine, is popular among trekkers due to its low cost and high-calorie content. But the variety does not end there. Tea houses cater to various tastes, with classic dishes such as fried rice, chicken curries, burgers, and pizzas. Noodle enthusiasts can have stir-fried noodles or cheesy pasta meals.

After a day of hiking, dinner becomes a joyous occasion, with tea houses broadening their menus to include a broader selection of familiar favorites and local specialties.  So, whether you crave a hearty Dal Bhat or a soothing slice of pizza, the EBC short journey delivers a great and satisfying refill after each adventure-filled day.

Mera Peak Climbing Trek Fundamentals:

Prepare for the EBC short Trek with our complete package, carefully planned to keep you comfortable and prepared during the entire trip.

We provide a 120-liter Duffel Bag for trek packing, a certified -20°C Down Jacket, and a four-season Sleeping Bag, ensuring warmth and coziness during chilly mountain nights.

Trekking Duffel Bag

A duffle bag, also known as a kit bag, is a cylindrical-shaped carrying bag with a top closure generally made of natural or sturdy fabric (usually canvas). It has a handle or a shoulder strap, making it easy for the porter to carry it. Duffle bags are commonly used for traveling, sports, outdoor activities, or temporary storage. They are used for carrying clothing, personal items, and electronics or sports gear during travel. The size of the duffle bag varies according to one's needs and requirements. They come in different sizes, from small to large travel duffle bags, and can hold required gear during travel. Generally, duffle bags are used to carry loads up to 15 kg in all treks, which vary according to the size and materials to be carried during the travel and the porter's carrying limit. Duffle bags are suitable for trekking due to their comfort and accessibility as they are flexible and portable, making them easy to carry. It is an excellent choice to carry for traveling due to its versatility and ease of handling.

We arrange the duffle bags that hold up to 120 liters of storage capacity and are also waterproof, which helps in the rainy environment by protecting the materials inside the bag. Generally, the porter carries these duffle bags during the trek. You can bring a small or medium carrying bag to have personal materials and gadgets. Please remember that your luggage and suitcase will be securely managed and safeguarded at our hotel while you enjoy your trek, and we will quickly return to you once you complete your trek.

Down Jacket

A down jacket, a puffer jacket, is a quilted coat filled with soft feathers from a duck or goose. Down jackets are more prevalent in cold climates and especially useful in mountains and higher altitudes. They are generally preferred by hikers, trekkers, and backpackers for being extremely comfortable due to their lightweight and compressibility, making them easy to pack without occupying much space. It has an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, which is the best for maintaining body heat and is essential for trekking in cold climates and higher altitudes.

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.

Sleeping Bag

Sleeping bags are essential gear for travelers and trekkers. They provide good comfort and protection in various climatic conditions and altitudes. Most of our treks and tours require a sleeping bag, as it keeps you warm by trapping the heat around your body.

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, as it helps us maintain our gear for future adventurers.
