Indicative only, at about ₹84 to the US dollar. Excludes travel to Nepal, visas, insurance, tips and drinks. Real prices depend on dates, availability and the exchange rate; we confirm every figure in a written quote.

What the figures are based on

A 3-star room in Kathmandu or Pokhara usually costs ₹3,500–6,000 a night with breakfast; teahouse rooms on trekking routes cost far less, but meals and hot showers cost more.
A licensed trekking guide is about US$30–35 a day and a porter about US$20–25 a day, including their food and lodging on the trail. One porter carries for two trekkers.
Kathmandu–Pokhara is about US$120 each way for foreign nationals; Lukla is about US$217 each way, and in spring and autumn many Lukla flights leave from Ramechhap, a four to five hour drive from Kathmandu.
Shared heli seats assume a full helicopter; on a quiet day the per-seat price can rise.
