This typically includes accommodation, meals during the trek, permits, logistics, local guides, porters, and transportation related to the expedition. Flights and personal expenses are usually not included unless specified.

International flights, travel insurance, personal gear, visas, tips for guides and porters, and personal expenses such as snacks, drinks, or laundry are generally not included unless clearly stated in the trip details.
