What people love about Budget Tours in Himalaya Mountains
- Annapurna Base Camp Trek 7 Days
“I did the 7 days ABC trek in October 2019, we were 3 solo girls and the agency matched us together. our guide Ram Barakoti was very nice, competent and took care of everything. I was extremely happy with the service. Will use them again when I go trekking in Nepal the next time.”
- Unforgettable Nepal: 19 Days of Culture, Wildlife & ABC
Awesome guides and a good mix between culture and hiking.
- 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 Himalaya Mountains
What's the average price per day for budget tours in the Himalaya Mountains?
Budget travelers can expect to spend between $42-165 USD per day for Himalayan tours. The cost varies based on accommodation style and included services. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek runs about $42 daily with basic teahouse stays while the Nepal Trek and Temples tour costs $165 per day which covers stays at Hotel Holy Himalaya in Kathmandu and local guesthouses. Recent travelers praise the value with one noting "The teahouses were simple and clean making this the perfect budget-friendly itinerary."
When is the most affordable time to visit the Himalaya Mountains?
The best deals are found during low season from June to August (monsoon) and December to February (winter). Prices climb during peak months of October-November and March-April. The Annapurna and Everest regions offer significant savings during monsoon season but come prepared for wet weather. A recent visitor shared "We visited in June - while it was rainy at times we saved considerably on accommodation and had many trails to ourselves."
What meals are typically included in budget Himalaya Mountain tours?
Budget tours generally cover breakfast at city hotels in places like Kathmandu and Pokhara. On the trails meals at teahouses are available but usually not part of the tour price. Plan to spend $25-30 USD daily for trail meals. One traveler's experience: "The food at teahouses along the Annapurna Circuit was simple but filling - dal bhat (lentils and rice) was the most economical and authentic option."
What's the best budget-friendly trek in the Himalaya Mountains?
For value seekers the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek (5-7 days) and Annapurna Base Camp Trek stand out costing $120-165 USD daily. This price includes basic lodging and transport. These routes work well for newcomers to trekking while delivering mountain views. A recent trekker noted about Poon Hill: "Great value trek with stunning views of Annapurna. The trail had good teahouse facilities and wasn't too challenging."
What gear can I rent instead of buy to save money on a Himalayan trek?
Save money by renting key items like sleeping bags down jackets and trekking poles from operators such as Adventure Himalayan Travels for $2-5 USD per item daily. Rental shops in Kathmandu's Thamel district and Pokhara offer complete trekking gear packages. As one traveler shared: "Renting gear in Kathmandu saved us hundreds compared to buying new equipment."
