Estimated Price for Solo Climbers (9-Day Northern Circuit)
For a solo climber, the cost for the full 9-day Northern Circuit climb is approximately:
- USD 2,800 – 3,200 per person
This range accounts for the longer duration, dedicated staff, and premium costs associated with a private or solo ascent.
Why the Cost Is Higher for Solo Climbers
