1. How do I choose an operator?

There are hundreds of companies who service Nepal trekking. Selecting an operator can be a daunting task. You want to be sure that your operator staffs experienced, competent guides, who practice high safety standards and treats staff well. Ultimate Expeditions® guides have been professionally leading hikes for many years. Each is registered with the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

2. How much does it cost?

Our trips range from $1,325 to $2,180 per person for group treks and $1,910 to $3,870 per person for two-person private trips. Price should be only one component in your overall decision. Prices vary significantly between operators, however low prices should be viewed with caution. Ultimate Expeditions® offers high quality treks at reasonable rates. Our prices are a great value.

5. Should I join a group?

Our group climbs are limited to 12 people and are perfect for solo travelers, pairs or couples who want the company of others. Each group is comprised of climbers from all over the world. A small-party climb is the best way to trek because it ensures individualized attention, added flexibility and increased safety.

6. Where will I stay on the trek?

We have a list of approved lodges which we use, all have been inspected to meet our standards. On the trail accommodations cannot be booked in advance so during busy season we send a porter ahead to secure enough rooms for the group. The further you get from Lukla the more basic the accommodations will be, generally consisting of two wooden bench beds per room with thin mattresses and shared toilet facilities.

7. What will I eat during the trek?

Meals are not included in our treks, which is a great benefit allowing you to try different dishes and making it easy to tailor to specific dietary needs, such as vegetarian or vegan diets.
