That is the cost of Everest Three Pass Trek per day is USD90 only.
There is no technical or mountaineering training needed for Everest Three Pass Trek however basic physical fitness and mental preparation are needed. Basic physical fitness means trekkers should be able to walk 4 to 6 hours per day even at high altitudes. We suggest to all our trekkers to prepare by doing aerobic training, running, gym, and yoga for the one month before going trek.
Of course, trekking at a high altitude the air will be thinner and oxygen level gets down although no oxygen supplementary is needed for Everest Three Pass Trek. Drinking penalty of water, soups, and breathing yoga can increase the level of O2 level in your body
