how much does it cost to travel Nepal for a week / two weeks / a month

Nepal is one of the most affordable travel destinations in Asia. Budget travelers spend around $25–40 per day, mid-range travelers $50–80 per day, and luxury travelers $150+ per day. These figures exclude international flights and trekking permits.

Here’s a realistic breakdown for 2026.

One week in Nepal (7 days)

A one-week itinerary typically covers Kathmandu (3 days), Pokhara (3 days), and a buffer day.

Two weeks in Nepal (14 days)

Two weeks lets you add a short trek (Poon Hill or Mardi Himal) or a Chitwan safari.

One month in Nepal (30 days)

A month lets you do a major trek (Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit) plus cultural sightseeing.

Extra costs to budget for

Major treks add $1,200–2,500 for guide, permits, food, and accommodation. The Annapurna Conservation Area Permit alone is around NPR 3,000, plus the TIMS card. Add $50 for visa, $200–400 for domestic flights if you’re flying to Lukla or Pokhara, and tips.

Honest reality check — Nepal is cheap, but the trekking and domestic flights are where costs add up. A week of city travel can cost $200. A week of trekking with a guide can cost $700+.
