Excellent Guides, Great Hospitality with Bold Himalaya
An unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp trek for the four of us on our first trip to Nepal! Thank you to Sobit for the warm welcome in Kathmandu and the lovely farewell gathering before we left. Also, kudos to the team led by Sirjan for such a top notch arrangements throughout the trek, they went beyond to make sure we were safe and comfortable! Highly recommend Bold Himalaya to anyone looking to experience the Himalayas and ABC trek!

Unforgettable Amazing Experience
An unforgettable journey to Annapurna Base Camp! Thank you so much to the entire team for the great arrangements.The accommodations along the trekking route were surprisingly cozy, providing a clean and welcoming place to rest after a long day of walking. (Can't imagine we could stay in a room with attached toilet at one of the tea houses 🥹) What truly made this trip special, however, was the sincere care and genuine support from our guide, Sirjan, and our two porters. They went above and beyond every single day of the hike to ensure we were safe, comfortable, well-fed, and properly acclimatized to the altitude. Their attentiveness to our well-being made a challenging trek feel incredibly smooth. Since there were four of us, Sirjan ensured that he and the porters covered all of us along the way, helping us in every possible way to make it to the base camp (especially me as I was having stomach unwell due to the altitude, he even carried my personal backpack and kept on checking on my condition). I cannot recommend this team highly enough to anyone looking to experience the magic of the Himalayas! We are so glad that we had this amazing ABC experience with the team ! 😊

Our priceless experience at ABC
My experience for this tour had far exceeded my expectations as my husband n I had not only reached the summit at ABC but we had also gained many new experiences thru our activities, people who met along the way while dining at the tea houses. All these won't have been possible if not for the dedication and excellent service provided by our guide Sirjan Tamang. He has done his job very well by giving us guidance along the way, constantly on the lookout for us to ensure tt we r safe and our needs r well taken of. He has also shared his Nepalese cultural experience n way of living with us that now we have a better understanding. While we were waiting for the clouds to clear at MBC, Sirjan turned the waiting time into a learning session for us as he showed us his hometown cultural dance. He is also our photographer n videograher for the trip, capturing many precious memories. Our trip is not just about making it to the summit of ABC but a journey of unforgettable life experiences. I would like to give our heartfelt thanks to our guide Sirjan Tamang in Bold Himalayas and highly recommend his service to trekkers who would also like to embark on a similar journey like ours.

Wonder ABC Trip!
It has been a wonderful ABC trip. Apart from the beautiful mountainous scenery, I was totally impressed with our guide, Sirjan Taman, and tough porter, Sudip. Sirjan has been super professional and he is a walking dictionary that knows ABC inside out. He is very hospitable and always has our interest at heart. Knowing our fitness level, he adjusted the trekking plan to accommodate our pace so that we have a manageable hike. Along the way, he shared his culture and music so that we have a truly immersive experience in the beautiful nature of Nepal. Sudip did the heavy lifting to carry our clothing and necessities through out the whole trip so that we can focus on the trekking without any worries. He is dependable. I strongly recommend Bold Himalayas for any hiking trip in Nepal.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp cost?
+
Prices start at $890 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 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 30 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 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp?
+
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 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp?
+
Around 11 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp 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, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek. 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 5 Day Private Guided Trekking in Annapurna Base Camp?
+

Not included: Extra meals dessert items; Any types of drinks; and Travel insurance & tips for the trekking crew. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

+

+
