Whether you are heading for the challenging Langtang Tilman Pass Trek or a rigorous trek in the Everest region or just taking a short trip in tourist spots of Nepal, every traveler thinks of a huge reduction in his bank sum. But it is not true when you find some travel tips.
Visiting the tourist spot in Nepal on a budget is not a difficult task when you find cheap accommodation and food place. However, budget travel isn’t just about cheap food and accommodation, it’s also about spending less money. So if you want a successful budget trip in Nepal while worrying about your bank sum, we have some tips for you:
1) Learn to trade
Bargaining is something that will surely come in handy on your travels. Whether you’re shopping on the street or divvying up your stays, you need to negotiate to pay less. The first rule of trading is never settle for the initial rates quoted. Nepalese have great negotiation skills and never let them go to waste.
2) Find a cheap place to stay and shop
If you are traveling in Nepal on a shoestring budget but want to savor local dishes and buy souvenirs, always find somewhere cheap. Most tourist places charge high fees, but you can get it cheaper in another part of the city or town. Find the best place and save money.
It applies even when you are trekking in the mountainous part of Nepal. For example: When heading for the Everest three-step trek, stay with a local homestay instead of looking for an expensive luxury hotel.
3) Stay away from the main market
The main market area is always expensive and crowded on that street in Nepal. You can save yourself some heartache by staying in a less popular area rather than the main market. Make sure you have access to local transportation or rent a private vehicle to easily get around the city.
4) Benefit the locals
Access locally to the enormous information about the place that any travel guide or tourist guide can offer you. They have been living here and know the place well. You can ask the local about the price of the hotel and food and find out the best. Being friendly or just talking to them can save you money and also adds a unique travel experience.
5) Buy a cheap travel package
If you are looking to purchase a top-tier travel package, we suggest going for a budget travel package. There are numerous travel and tour packages that offer attractive cheap travel packages for their clients. Search for the best travel package, haggle and find the best rate for your adventure.
If you want to travel around Nepal independently, we suggest that you hire a guide in Kathmandu, which can be much cheaper than a budget tour package.
Please note that you need to book the hotel and plane ticket in advance in high season to secure your trip.
