In 2022 prices continue to increase from operators on both sides since China has raised permit fees and Nepal is now regulating minimum pay and insurance. The world’s highest mountain is in high demand, with operators catering to an ever-rising supply of clients, especially in Asia.
The spring 2021 season on Everest was perhaps the most complicated in history. With COVID out of control in India and Nepal, the virus didn’t take long to reach Everest Base Camp, despite the government’s adamant denials and cover-ups. Unfortunately, some guides also participated in this scandal. China closed Tibet to all foreigners but allowed one...
There are four major cost components for an Everest climb: travel cost, permits/insurance, supplies/gear, and guides. For 2022, there are no significant changes to this cost structure. The following discussion breaks down the expenses as if an individual wanted to climb without joining a team, but almost no one does this—it’s just too expensive and...

Calculating summit successes, I looked back at their 2019 and 2021 summit rates, their websites, and the Himalayan Database. (Remember, there were virtually no climbers on Everest i...
There are no requirements to call yourself a guide in Nepal. Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism calls every Sherpa a Sherpa Guide, regardless of their training or experience. However, this is slowly changing as more Sherpas take basic climbing and first aid course at the Khumbu Climbing Center. There are three options for supported climbs: (1) Sherpa-supp...
Do I have to take one of the standard routes?
No. You can get a permit to climb any of the 20 named routes on Everest or make up your own. If you want to traverse from Nepal to Tibet or the other way, you will need to get permits from both countries; however, China has refused to issue permission from their side for many years now. In 2017 a climber illegally made the traverse and was deported and banned for five years. He claimed it was a medical emergency.
Can I Climb Everest Alone?
Officially no. Nepal’s Ministry of Tourism requires every climber to hire a Sherpa guide. The CMA has a similar requirement. But like everything around Everest, there are exceptions, and most rules are never enforced.
What is the minimum I can spend to climb Everest?
As previously addressed, it is almost impossible to climb Everest entirely alone on the standard route. However, you can climb independently with no oxygen, Sherpa, or cook support but using ladders and ropes on the south side. For one person, this would cost at least $25,000. Even splitting group expenses, the base costs add up to $26,000 per person for a seven-person team. When you add in oxygen and base camp support, a one-person climb with Sherpa support approaches $45,000, but a seven-pe...
It is trendy to criticize anyone who has or is planning a climb. Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Airset a negative tone and profiled climbers as rich, inexperienced, and selfish after his one climb in 1996. In my experience—six climbs on Everest or Lhotse—the opposite is today’s reality. To be fair, in recent years, the marketing of low-cost expediti...
