Trekking in Nepal doesn't have to be expensive. If you’ve been searching for a budget-friendly trekking company that doesn’t compromise on safety, service, or experience, Hiking Nepal is exactly what you need. We’re a Nepali-owned team of experienced guides and local experts committed to making your Himalayan journey affordable, comfortable, and memorable from start to finish.
From the legendary Everest Base Camp to lesser-known trails like Langtang and Ghorepani, Hiking Nepal offers treks that fit your budget and exceed your expectations. You won’t have to worry about inflated prices or hidden charges. We’ve built our reputation by keeping costs low while maintaining high standards across all our treks. That’s why we’re trusted by solo travellers, couples, and groups looking for reliable yet economical trekking experiences in Nepal.
Why Our Treks Cost Less—And Offer More
Unlike many foreign-run agencies that rely on expensive middlemen or subcontracted staff, we operate everything ourselves. Our local ownership means we can pass those savings directly to you. Whether you’re booking a solo trip or joining a group departure, you’ll find that our pricing remains transparent and fair. We don’t believe in hidden fees, confusing optional add-ons, or last-minute surcharges. What you see in your package is what you get—permits, guides, accommodation, and even your meals are already included.
Flexibility is also key. If you're travelling on a tight budget, you can stick with a basic teahouse trek. If you’re celebrating a milestone or want a little extra comfort, we offer affordable luxury upgrades and camping options, too. And when you travel with friends, you can unlock even more savings through small group discounts.
Treks That Won’t Break the Bank
Our most popular trek—the Everest Base Camp Trek—starts at just $999 for a 12-day journey. This route covers the essentials: permits, experienced guides, and stays in clean teahouses. It’s the perfect way for first-time trekkers to experience the magic of Everest without overspending.
Looking for variety and landscape diversity? The Annapurna Circuit Trek starts at $899 and spans everything from lush valleys to high mountain passes. It includes the breathtaking Thorong La Pass and is ideal for budget-conscious travellers who want a complete Himalayan adventure.
If you're short on time or looking to avoid crowds, the Langtang Valley Trek (from $699) offers incredible scenery closer to Kathmandu. This 7-day trek feels remote and peaceful, giving you an intimate view of Himalayan life and nature.
Families, beginners, or anyone who wants a short but rewarding experience should consider the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. Starting from $499, it’s a five-day trip with one of the best sunrise viewpoints in Nepal. Simple, scenic, and stress-free.
How We Keep Our Costs Down—Without Sacrificing Quality
We hire and train experienced local guides and porters who know the terrain and culture better than anyone. Not only does this create more local jobs, but it also ensures you get the most insightful, authentic trekking experience possible. We’ve also established long-term relationships with trusted teahouses and lodges, which give us access to better rates and consistent service.
To keep your experience smooth and cost-effective, we encourage group departures and shoulder-season travel (March-April, September-October), which avoids peak season prices and crowded trails. Everything from airport transfers to permits is included upfront, so you’re never surprised by last-minute costs along the way.
What’s Included in Our Budget Trek Packages
Every Hiking Nepal trek includes your guide, permits (TIMS, national park fees), basic teahouse accommodation, and three daily meals. You’ll also get airport transfers and full support from our team throughout your journey. We don’t cut corners on safety—our guides are trained, certified, and well-equipped to respond to changing weather, trail conditions, and your health.
What Makes Us Different from Other Budget Trekking Companies
There are plenty of "cheap" trekking options in Nepal, but not all are reliable. Many operators outsource to untrained freelancers, skip essential permits, or offer vague pricing that leads to unexpected expenses later. Hiking Nepal is Nepali-owned and operated, which keeps our group sizes small (usually 4-8 people) and our standards high. You won’t be herded through trails in groups of 15+. You’ll trek at your own pace with guides who care about your experience.
We’ve also earned consistent five-star reviews on platforms like Trustpilot and Google. Our clients regularly highlight our honest pricing, knowledgeable guides, and seamless logistics. When you book with Hiking Nepal, you're choosing peace of mind.
How You Can Save Even More
Want to lower your cost further? Book early to grab early-bird rates. Join group departures to share expenses on guides and porters. Travel during the shoulder season for discounted accommodation and quieter trails. And bring your own trekking gear to avoid rental charges.
