You need a climbing permit for Pokalde, as it is a trekking peak, plus the Sagarmatha National Park entry fee and a licensed guide. The total depends on the season, group size, and how many days you take. Ask us for a written price for your dates.
Climbing permit
Trekking peaks need a permit issued through the Nepal Mountaineering Association. The fee depends on the peak group and the season, and it changes from time to time, so confirm it for your dates.
Park and local fees
You also pay the Sagarmatha National Park entry and local permits, as on the Everest Base Camp trek.
Guide and crew
A climbing guide and porters are part of most plans. A larger group can lower the per-person cost, because the guide and permit costs are shared.
What changes the price
Price depends on the length of the trip, whether you use a high camp, group size and the season. Gear rental and insurance are extra, and insurance must cover climbing at altitude.
Insurance
Choose a policy that covers climbing at 5,800 m and helicopter evacuation. Many standard trekking policies cap at 5,500 m, so read the fine print.
Payment and refunds
Ask us how deposits and cancellations work. Weather and flight delays can change plans, so ask about the terms before you book.
