The Bhairab Kunda Trek serves basic teahouse dal bhat, noodles, and Tibetan bread in 8 to 10 family lodges along the route. Rooms are shared dormitories with thin blankets, so trekkers carry a 3-season sleeping bag and budget $25 to $35 per day for full board.

A guided Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek package costs $300 to $480 per person for 4 to 5 days in 2027 to 2030, including guide, porter, ACAP and TIMS permits, teahouse lodging, meals, and Pokhara transfers. Going independently saves $80 to $140 per person but adds permit legwork, route risk, and dawn summit timing mistakes that a guide prevents.
