Trekking is an adventurous activity. And any kind of adventure includes a bit of risk, so does trekking. Whether you are trekking in any of the cheapest countries or in an expensive country, the risk will be there. The risk of trekking doesn't depend on whether the country is a cheap or an expensive travel destination. It depends on your experience and the right use of trekking gear. If you have never done trekking before, let me tell you that choosing the right trekking gear is really important.
