Costs & Permits To Luxury Everest Base Camp

Getting the necessary permits to visit the Everest Base Camp is crucial and is highly regulated. Before you set off on your trek, you must make sure you have the permits that are required to enter the area.

The two primary permits you will need to visit the Everest Base Camp are the Sagarmatha National Park permit and the Khumbu Municipality Permit.

The Sagarmatha National Park is a protected area that covers the entire area of the Everest Base Camp and is home to various endangered species, such as the Himalayan black bear, snow leopard, red panda, musk deer, and more. You will also get to see the unique floral diversity of the region, with the rhododendrons blooming in the spring and the trees like deodar and juniper in the summer.

The Everest Base Camp PermitCost varies based on the individual’s nationality. Nepali citizens are required to pay a flat fee of NRs 100 per person, while SAARC Nationals are required to pay NRs 1500 per person (approx. USD $15), and Foreigners are required to pay NRs 3000 per person (approx. USD $30).

Similarly, Khumbu Municipality Permit is a permit issued by the local municipality to support the local people who live in the area around the Everest Base Camp. This permit was created to replace the once-required TIMS permit. The Khumbu Municipality Permit also acts as a way of supporting the locals and their lifestyles. All the proceeds from the permit go straight back to the local people.

However, before you can venture out into the wilderness and explore the sublime heights of Khumbu, you’ll need to secure a permit from the Khumbu Rural Municipality. This entrance permit, also known as the Everest Base Camp Permit, is required for all individuals regardless of their nationality, and it costs NRs 2000 per person (approx. USD $20)
