Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek Cost

Everest Yoga Trek cost is a little more different from EBC trek. First, the duration you choose determines the cost. It means, if you want to extend this trek, you have to invest more budgets while a short Nepal trekking package cost is quite low.

Next, the services of food and accommodation you want to play a vital role in calculating the overall cost. Everest Base Camp Yoga trek permits cost also influences the whole cost of this trek.

What differs from the regular Everest Base Camp trek cost is that you should pay for the Yoga Guru in this trip. Besides, the size of your group also has some impacts in the cost i.e. larger the group, lower the individual cost!

The trek is an endurance test as well as a perfect way to build up one’s physical and mental well-being. You know mental strength and concentration are equally important to complete trekking in Himalayas successfully.

Each day of Everest Yoga trek begins and ends with some of the most effective Yoga Postures (Asanas). In the morning before beginning high altitude trekking in Nepal, you practice different Aasanaas, Meditation and Pranayama. In the evening, you practice some postures that help you recover from travel fatigue.

Practicing such postures not only develops your concentration power and patience but also heals any physical pain. Walking uphill and downhill through the rugged trail definitely makes your muscles ache or sometimes cramp as well.

Through the different postures practiced before and after Everest Yoga trek heals all of them. As a result, you are better prepared for the next day’s trip. Combining Yoga with Everest Base Camp trek makes you feel as if you are not traveling through the high altitude trekking in Nepal.
