Everest is expensive. And it’s getting more and more expensive. Agencies are trying to target the high-end clientele, charging more and more for services worthy of a hotel, such as individual rooms, WIFI, cappucinos… The Everest of the pioneers is far away. Base rate: 35,000 dollars… and up to eight times more. Continuation of our investigation on Everest business.
Everest has not waited for global inflation to drive up its prices. Here is our complete investigation into the juicy Everest business. As we saw in the first part of this investigation, outside of commercial expeditions, there is no salvation. Try to imagine it any way you like, but the fact is that on Everest today, you either go on a commercial expedition or you don’t.
