Monika TwarogowskaI spent around 10 000 USD on my Kanchenjunga trek in Nepal.
At first, I wanted to write a simple article explaining where the money went. But while writing it, I realized the most interesting question was different.
How do we think about fairness in prices when a trip is affordable precisely because the people making it possible earn far less than we do?
This article breaks down the full budget, but it is also a reflection on the people behind the experience. Because Laxman and Prashant were not just part of the cost.
They were part of the reason the trek was possible.
