The short answer
The cost of a Nepal trip is the sum of a few big choices: how many days you stay, the class of hotel, whether you travel by private car, shared vehicle or flight, the season, and how many people share the costs. Add-ons such as a mountain flight, a jungle stay or a trek change the total more than almost anything else.
This guide does not quote prices, because they move with season, fuel, exchange rates and availability. Instead, it explains each driver so that you can compare quotes sensibly. Ask each operator to price the same plan, and you will see where the real differences sit.
