What the estimate includes

On-trail accommodation, trail food, drinks & extras, local transport and optional pre/post stays. Long-distance flights are never auto-priced — add them only if you want an all-in view.

Why trek costs vary

Hut half-board trips look very different from wild camping with supermarket food. Season, hut choice and how much you spend on extras change the total more than day count alone.

On-trail vs all-in cost

The main total is the trek itself. Optional gear purchases stay separate so a new jacket does not look like part of the route budget.

Why I show actual first-hand costs separately

Past spending is useful context, not a live price list. When a structured actual trip exists, it appears beside your estimate — never mixed into the planning math.
