There is not a lot to purchase once you head out except a map of the mountain, which can be bought at the Park Gate. A suggested budget would be £60 - £180 It is important to realise too that tipping is expected for good service on the route and can work out between 250 - 300 USD including tips to your guide, cook and porters.
