1. Use Cheap Trekking Gear

You do not necessarily need a whole lot of gear to go trekking. Some clothes, boots and a backpack will be all that is really
required. If you only want to go on a single cheap hiking trip in the Himalayas, leasing your trekking gear is a fantastic
alternative. Notably in Nepal it isn't difficult to rent cheap hiking equipment for the duration of your trek.

There is also the option of buying second hand trekking equipment or buying the"imitation stuff", no-brand clothes etc.. It won't last you for many years like good trekking equipment, but it may be enough for your 1, 2 or 3 weeks duration of your trek. If you're into trekking and need to perform it over just this once, I'll advise you to purchase the fantastic equipment however. It will help save you money in the long term.

Canned food is another option, but it generally weighs far more than the typical trail foods just mentioned.

You can also bring your little cooker. It is possible to become really easy ones which burn fuel tablets, matches in your pocket and cost next to nothing. Using a modest lightweight cooking kettle, it is going to enable you to cook your complete meals.

2. Another fantastic means of hiking cheaply in the Himalayas is to avoid hiring guides and porters. You don't necessarily need them, simply stick to the trails and get a hiking guide book rather, complete with maps and trail descriptions.

3. Bring Affordable Trekking Food

Rather than buying breakfast, lunch and dinner on the trekking route, you can bring a few of it yourself. Food is a lot cheaper to buy in the towns where there are supermarkets throughout. You'll have to carry it yourself of course, however a couple of pounds or kilos may go a long way to help you to get a cheap Himalayan trek. And you do not have to cook it either. Just unpack it and eat it!

4. Nepal and India are usually considered to be supplying the least expensive hiking in Himalaya. Many treks in India need some camping equipment, so if you already have your own kayak , the Indian Himalayas are a nice and cheap hiking alternative. If you don't have all the gear, a tea-house trek from the Nepal Himalayas is probably the cheapest trekking alternative for you.

5. Among the largest costs is generally airline tickets to and from your trekking destination. Attempt to locate the least expensive flight, for example by locating a last-minute airline ticket online.

 Just note the Everest trek is in a very remote area and demands a domestic flight in and outside. However both the Annapurna and Langtang trekking places can be accomplished by local bus, and so they are probably the most appropriate for economical trekking in Himalaya.
