What Decides the Cost of a Nepal Trip · Cost drivers

Does group size change the cost per person?

The short answer

Yes. The vehicle, the guide and some fixed items are shared, so a larger private group usually pays less per person than a couple or a solo traveller. A couple or solo traveller pays a higher share, so a shared or small-group departure can be cheaper in those cases.

On the other hand, a private plan gives control over the pace, the hotels and the route. Decide whether control or cost matters more. If you are flexible, ask for both a private and a shared quote.
