Si estáis planeando una expedición al Techo del Mundo o simplemente tenéis mera curiosidad de por cuánto sale el intento, debéis echarle un vistazo a este artículo. Estos son los precios que se pagaran en el Everest a partir del año que viene.
El mínimo rondará los 30.000 dolares, aunque en muchos casos el coste ascenderá hasta los 45.000. Un incremento notable respecto a las tarifas que se pagaron en 2017. La ascensión personalizada rondaría entre los 85.000 y los 115.000 dólares. Si eres más de ir en solitario y sin ningún tipo de apoyo, podrías lograrlo por unos 20.000.
Es cierto que en los últimos años se ha notado un incremento en las expediciones low-cost al Everest, lo que promueve la llegada de un número mayor de alpinistas, sobre todo con las incursiones de China y Rusia. A pesar de ello, las tasas se han incrementado durante los últimos cinco años en un 6% por la vertiente de Nepal, y un 12% desde el lado tibetano.
Por dar unos ejemplos, la comida durante una expedición sale por 800€ y cada botella de oxígeno suplementario –que usan un 97% de quienes escalan la montaña– es de 550€ por botella.
A continuación os dejamos una lista de compañías comerciales y el precio de sus ascensiones guiadas en cada una de las rutas que ofertan, además de la tasa de éxito llevando a sus clientes a la cima.
