Climbing Mount Everest in 2025 typically costs between $30,000 and $130,000, depending on the package and level of luxury. The average cost for an expedition is around $55,000 to $61,000. Factors influencing the cost include climbing permits (which increased to $15,000 in 2025), Sherpa support, oxygen, equipment, logistics, insurance, and training. Luxury expeditions with Western guides can exceed $100,000, while budget climbs start around $30,000. Nepalese government permit fees alone are $15,000 per climber as of September 2025, which is a significant part of the overall expense.
