What Mera Peak actually costs.
The price on an operator's website is not what you will spend. We compared 12 operators, added the costs each package leaves out, and put every number next to its source.
In short: Mera Peak in 2027 costs from $2,736 to $9,765 per person all-in across the 12 operators we compare, with items an operator does not mention counted as extra. Package prices as published start from $1,950, for two people sharing a room. International flights are not counted. Prices were read from the operators' own pages, the newest on 2026-09-15.
12 operators, sticker price against true cost
True cost is the package price plus what the package leaves out (flights, meals, hotel, porter, gear) plus what nobody includes (tips, insurance, visa, water and Wi-Fi). Per person, two people travelling together, twin share. International flights are not counted.
When an operator's page does not say whether something is included, we show a range: the lower figure assumes it is in the price, the upper figure adds it. 6 of 12 operators here leave at least one item unstated, worth up to $1,405. The list is sorted by the upper figure, so that nobody looks cheaper by saying less. You can change that under Sort.

Your budget
Pick an operator, then make it yours: how you travel, how much you spend on the trail, what you need to rent. Everything the operator leaves out is already in, and the result is per person.
What is actually in a price
These are the costs that decide whether a $1,300 package ends up cheaper than a $1,800 one. Figures are what we add when an operator does not include the item.
Official fees
| Fee | NPR | About | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Makalu Barun National Park entry | 3,000 | $23 | source |
| Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality permit | 2,000 | $15 | Some sources say NPR 3,000 as in the Everest valley. source |
| NMA climbing permit, autumn / spring | – | $175 | USD 350 per person in spring, 175 the rest of the year. Refundable garbage deposit of USD 250 per team on top. source |
How we count
Sticker price is the lowest published price per person for two people sharing a room, taken from the operator's own website on the date shown. Where the operator publishes group-size tiers we use the tier for two. Sale prices are noted but the regular price is used.
Hidden cost is what you still pay after booking. If an item is not in the package we add the reference figure above. If the operator's page does not say, we show a range: the lower figure leaves the item out, the upper figure adds it, and the list is sorted by the upper figure. Tips, insurance, visa and daily extras are added for everyone because no package covers them.
Currencies. Operators publish in USD, GBP or EUR; we convert to your chosen currency at daily mid-market rates. Prices are "from" prices and change with season, group size and exchange rates. Check the operator's page before you book.
Independence. No operator has paid to be listed and there are no affiliate links on this page. If that changes it will say so here.
