• The price you see is per person, but it applies whether you’re booking for one or two people. Here’s the catch: If you’re booking alone and we can’t find someone to share a room with you (twin-sharing accommodation), there’s a $200 single supplement fee you’ll need to pay upon arrival in Nepal. We’ll let you know before your trip if there’s someone to share with. This single supplement also applies if you prefer a solo room throughout the trek. In short, the price is per person, but a solo surcharge applies if you’re traveling alone and want your own room.
