Excellent Trekking Agent based in Kathmandu - with options all over Nepal and even Bhutan
Happyland Treks is a very professional outfit located in Central Thamel!! (Kathmandu) Bimal is the director and we were very impressed by his knowledge and thorough understanding of what is involved as well as perceiving our needs! He is also very knowledgable about all the different potential trekking routes and options in Nepal!!! The prices were very reasonable and: I can’t speak highly enough of Karma: the guide Bimal organised for us: who was a very capable and knowledgeable and compassionate Nepali man!! I truly can’t recommend HAPPYLAND TREKS highly enough‼️
Response from the operator: Hello Kea Namaste, Thank you very much for sharing the trekking experience and the fantastic reviews about your trekking adventure experience. We're really happy that you enjoyed our arrangement service. We wish you all the best and look forward to welcoming you again......

Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $1,026 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 Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Annapurna Base Camp Short 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 Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek?
+
Around 0 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Annapurna Base Camp Short 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.
What is included in Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek?
+
Included: Annapurna conservation area entry permit, include park and hot spring; Pokhara – Nayapul by private transportation/ Nayapul – Pokhara by private transportation; All government and local taxes; Company Duffel bag and a t-shirt; and Airport pick up and drop by car/van/ bus/. Not included: Lunch and dinner during your Kathmandu and Pokhara stay; Travel medical insurance and emergency evacuation cost; Nepal entry visa fee. International air fare; and Personal equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 192 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek 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 Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek?
+
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.
What happens to Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek if the weather is bad?
+
