    Had a great time in Nepal around the Annapurna Circuit trek with Yolo Hike

    I was very happy with my trip with Yolo Hike. They responded fast to all my queries and made sure I was informed. I was very satisfied with the guide I was provided and had an amazing time in Nepal. Everything was very flexible and easy with the planning. I will definitely use Yolo Hike again if I do another trek in Nepal!

    Amazing 5 days 4 nights Tour of Bhutan

    I contacted Yolo Hike in May 2024 for the quotation to Bhutan 5 days 4 nights tour. Anil from Yolo responded immediately and answer my queries regarding Bhutan Tour promptly. The trip was well organised as Yolo help me to get the Bhutan Visa and confirm the guide and driver for Bhutan. Bhutan is an amazing country with serene mountains and stunning Dzong ( or Buddhism Temple) which was mainly built in 16th Century. The highlight of the tour was the hike to Tiger Nest Mountains which took us around 6-7 hours. We started the hike early around 7.30 am to avoid the hot sun. The view is breathtaking. i was surprised on the hotel especially the last two nights at Paro where we stayed in spacious resort hotel closer which is 15 mins away from Tiger Nest and 20 mins away from Paro town.

    Best cultural and nature circuit in Nepal

    I made the Annapurnas Circuit during the month of June and booked a few days in advance. Despite this there was always an excellent willingness of the agency to adjust my travel itinerary to my needs. Alin and his team supported me from my arrival from Kathmandu as well as my return. Besides my guide Krishna always paid great respect, attending to all my concerns on the trip. It was an excellent experience and despite not being the season with the best weather I was able to tour the circuit and have beautiful views of Annapurna, get to know Nepali culture. I hiked Annapurna Circuit during June and i reserved few days before. In spite of that always got a good agency attendance to adjust my journey plan to my needs. Alin and their team support me since my arrival to Kathmandu until my departure. Althought Krishna guide always be very respectful and attend all my requeriments in my trip. It was an excellent experience and so it is not the season with the best weather i can hike all the circuit, looked amazing view of Himalayas and Annapurnas and know the rich Nepali culture.

    Nar, Phu, and Thorong La Pass trek.

    We contacted Yolo Hike only a few weeks before our planned trip. Even with the short notice everything was well organised, from being picked up from the airport to accomodation during the trek and afterwards. The team were very welcoming when we first arrived. On the trail our guide was very professional but also good fun to share stories with back and forth, and the route took us through some incredible scenery. Thank you!

    14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $900 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 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek take?

    +

    Plan for about 336 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 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek?

    +

    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 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 336-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek?

    +

    Around 2 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 336-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 14 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek 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.
