And I said, “Annapurna called me,”
I was briefed on trekking to Annapurna Base Camp, steeped up and down. My OA knees didn’t hurt, slow ascent but moving on with my guide & Sherpa patiently assisting most times. I enjoyed the tranquility & gorgeous views, friendly villagers, mountain dogs, delicious food at lodges where some times were spent at dining areas & had great interactions with fellow travelers & staff. Had extra day at MBC due to altitude sickness, took the chopper MBC to ABC.

Annapurna base camp trek
I wanted to thank welcome Nepal treks and my guide Hari for the experience of being guided to Annapurna base camp. Everything was organised perfectly and efficiently, I also felt very safe during the entire experience as a female solo traveller. I was well taken care of when I got sick as well. Hari was also very considerate about the small things to make sure I have a very memorable experience and adjusted to my needs.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Namaste! Thank you so much for this wonderful positive review. We are very glad to hear that you are happy with our service. We hope see you again. Best Wishes, Team of Welcome Nepal Treks.

Awesome trekking experience at ABC
Just returned from the trekking to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) with guide Padam. The experience was well organised from start to finish, Padam is a fantastic guide who is kind, caring and entertaining. He was always asking me if I was ok and offered some support when needed. He always made sure we had the best accomodation and always had adequate food and water during the trek. I would highly recommend a trek with Welcome treks and especially with guide Padam. The trek itself can be challenging at times on the uphill slog, expect average of 6 hours a day trekking up steps. Pack light don't bring any non essentials for a more comfortable experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Namaste! Thank you so much for this wonderful positive review. We are very glad to hear that you are happy with our service. We hope see you again. Best Wishes, Team of Welcome Nepal Treks.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Annapurna Base Camp Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $1003 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 Trek 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 Annapurna Base Camp Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 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 Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 288-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 4 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 Annapurna Base Camp 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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit 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.
