    Annapurna base camp

    What an amazing journey! Once again, all the way from Ireland this is my third time trekking in the himilayas with Scenic Treks Nepal in the past year. It has been excellent every time. The organization, communication and attention to detail was amazing by Dipendra and my guide Birendra and my porter Buddhi. Everything was very well planned from accommodation to everyday logistics with Dipendra. This is my second solo trip and I feel very safe and happy each time. Dipendra made sure to check in multiple times during the trek to make sure all was well. Birendra and Buddhi were an absolute pleasure to spend every day with. Very caring, genuinely kind, fun guys, I felt well looked after. ABC trek is really beautiful. Lots of stairs everyday so you are sure to get a solid work out in 😀 while I was there the weather was great. Very warm and sunny every day then rain in the evenings so it worked out well as by the time it rained we were at the next tea house. I ate local dhal bat everyday for lunch and dinner which was delicious in every tea house. All the locals are super nice and accommodating. I can confidently recommend this company and this ABC trek I had a great time 😊 thank you again guys, dhanyabad and see you again soon for the next adventure. Robyn

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing Scenic Nepal Treks for your second adventure in Nepal! It means a great deal to know that everything was arranged smoothly and that you felt safe, valued and supported throughout your journey. We are especially pleased that your guide and porter made the experience so memorable—we will be delighted to share your kind words with them. Your continued trust and recommendation mean the world to our entire team. It was a pleasure welcoming you back, and we cannot wait to plan your next Himalayan adventure together!

    12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,064 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights take?

    +

    Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights?

    +

    Included: One night’s twin-sharing hotel accommodation in Pokhara with breakfast; Eight nights’ twin-sharing teahouse accommodation during the trek; Airport transfers and transportation between Pokhara and the trekking trailhead; Flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara and Tourist bus from Pokhara to Kathmandu; and Annapurna Conservation Area Permit and required trekking fees. Not included: International flights and Nepal entry visa; Travel insurance covering trekking up to 4,130 metres and emergency helicopter evacuation; Porter service—available in advance at an additional cost; and Lunch and dinner in Kathmandu and Pokhara, except the included farewell dinner.

    Does 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 20 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 300 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 12-Day Annapurna Base Camp & Poon Hill Trek with Flights wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
