From Dorm Rooms to Electric Blankets
Everest trekking accommodation has evolved. You can spend $5 a night or $500. Understanding the difference helps you plan your Mount Everest expedition budget.
The classic experience. Thin walls, shared squat toilets, and a communal dining hall. It’s authentic and cheap. You meet other trekkers and feel the camaraderie of the trail to Everest Base Camp.
En-suite bathrooms, hot showers, and heated rooms. Places like Yeti Mountain Home offer a hotel experience in the wild. It allows you to recover fully each night, increasing your chances of reaching the Mount Everest summit region feeling strong.
Many trekkers mix it up. Luxury in Namche and Lukla, and budget teahouses higher up where luxury options don't exist. This balances comfort with cost.
Whatever you choose, ensure you have a warm sleeping bag. A good night's sleep is the most important gear you can buy.
