What people love about Budget Tours in Nepal
- Combine Adventure Tour 10 day
I did the 10 day Combine Adventure Tour in the different places of Nepal. We were treated like family and no task was too small for our guide. Our guide went above and beyond for us to have the best trekking experience and because of him and adventure Himalayan we had the best experience. We did city sightseeing three Durbar Squares, and the twin Stupas—Swyambhunath and Boudhhanath which have been enlisted in the UNESCO World Heritage Site as they are not just the treasures of Nepal, but the entire world. We did Rafting in Trishuli River and trekking to Australian camp.It was on of the best experience of my life and i would highly recommend for this Travel agency.
Great tour and well planned! Loved that we got to experience the bustling Katmandu, the nature and wildlife in Chitwan, the lakes and mountains in Pokara.
Nepal Snapshot 7 Day - One Life Adventures
- Annapurna Circuit Trek 15 Days
I had an amazing Annapurna circuit trek experience. wangchu Sherpa was lovely and more than a good guide but a good friend and made the experience much more genuine and enjoyable. He was fun and casual but professional when required, and did a great job of sorting out everything for us. Waangchu was also excellent, he's very knowledgeable and considerate, he would make a great guide one day. Couldn't have hoped for a better adventure.!
What our customers ask about Budget Tours to Nepal
What's the average daily budget I can expect on budget tours in Nepal?
Budget tours in Nepal cost between USD 75-165 per day with most tours landing around USD 120 daily. This covers basic lodging in teahouses or guesthouses such as Hotel Holy Himalaya in Kathmandu or Hotel Lake Star in Pokhara guided treks and some meals. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The accommodations were fine though basic but the experience and views made it totally worth the price."
When is the most affordable time to visit Nepal for trekking?
Visit during the off-season from June to August (monsoon) or December to February (winter) for the best deals. The popular Annapurna and Everest routes get busy and expensive in peak seasons (March-May and September-November). A TourRadar traveler shares their experience: "We trekked in July and while we got great deals we had to deal with leeches and rain - but the views were still amazing when clouds cleared."
Which areas of Nepal offer the best value for budget travelers?
Look to the Langtang region and Poon Hill trek in Annapurna for good value with lower permit costs and reliable facilities. Nagarkot provides affordable day trips from Kathmandu. From a TourRadar review: "Langtang Valley Trek was perfect for my budget - great mountain views authentic villages and lower costs compared to Everest region."
How much extra money should I budget for expenses not included in the tour price?
Set aside $15-25 USD daily for extras like snacks drinks hot showers ($2-4) device charging ($2-5) and guide tips ($8-10/day). Budget $10-15 for meals in Kathmandu and Pokhara when not included. A TourRadar traveler shares: "Aside from the trek cost I spent about $200 extra over 12 days for additional food drinks charging phones and tips for the amazing staff."
What essential gear do I need to budget for when trekking in Nepal?
Tour companies like Nepal Hiking Team often provide duffel bags and sleeping bags but you'll need your own hiking boots warm clothes and trekking poles. Find affordable quality gear in Kathmandu's Thamel district. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Don't overspend on gear - you can find good quality affordable equipment in Thamel and many tour companies provide the essential equipment."
What's the best way to save money on transportation in Nepal?
Choose local buses for the best value. A ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara costs around USD 7-10 versus USD 120+ for flights. Many budget-focused tours like Alpine Ramble Treks include basic transport. A TourRadar traveler notes: "The local bus journey was bumpy but a great authentic experience and saved us considerable money compared to flying."
