    Ramdung Peak offers 18 day mountain climbing experiences, costing between $5000-5500 per person. Nepal Mountaineering Association charges $250/person in spring, $125/person in fall, and $70/person in winter/summer. Given that the weather is consistent and ideal for hikers, spring and autumn are among the best seasons in Nepal to organize and carry out a high-pass adventure. The trek is going to be more challenging because December through May are winter months. Therefore, we always advise you to complete the journey during the spring (March through May) or fall (September through November) seasons. During their expeditions and ascents, climbers rely on food as their primary energy source. If you restore your energy on an hourly basis, make sure you pack emergency health energy snacks and dry meals.

Getting enough sleep and recovery are essential when hiking at high altitudes. You have the option of staying in lodges and tents when climbing Ramdung Peak in a lower section.
