Amazing solo trek to Annapurna Base Camp

I’m very happy that I decided to book my ABC-trek with Touch The Himalaya. Mr. Madan was always available to answer any questions that I had and it made me feel very safe traveling alone as a woman. My guide Rishi took good care of me for the nine days we were on the trek, he knew all the best places to stay and to eat. He made my morning at Poon Hill very special by heading up there extra early to enjoy the sunrise over the Himalayas before it got too crowded. And we also reached Annapurna Base Camp on the clearest day ever! Even after the trek, both Mr. Madan and Rishi, made sure I was okay in Pokhara by myself and told me to call if I needed anything. Also Mr. Madan made sure my stuff that I left in Kathmandu arrived to my hotel when I got back. I highly recommend booking a trip with Touch The Himalaya! Definitely 10 out of 10!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feed-back! We're thrilled you had a wonderful Annapurna Base Camp trek. It was our pleasure to organize everything for you, and we hope to see you again for another adventure!

ABC trek via Poonhill sunrise

We completed Annapurna base camp trek with my Australian clients and theirs family with Touch the Himalaya, Madan was handling our group and Arjun and Ganesh were assisting us to transfer our baggage from each to other camps. Overly our trek was so wonderful since we were planned this from Covid pandemic. We would express our grateful to sMadan organizing such a wonderful trek with a friendly team. Wish to plan another trek Next year and may be Bhutan Tour With Madan.

Response from the operator: Thank you! We’re glad your Annapurna trek went smoothly. I appreciate your kind words. Looking forward to your next adventure with us!

Trekking in March

We were on a trekking in March 2025 with a family and friends. Our trek was from Chame to Manang and back. Our guide was Moti, who orginised everything for us. He was kind, helpful and we felt looked after all the time to admire beautiful villages and nature. We recommend Moti as a guide!

Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re glad Moti made your Chame to Manang trek enjoyable and well-organized. His kindness and care truly enhance the experience. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to assist you on your next adventure soon!

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 $500 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 240 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 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 72 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 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 240-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

+

Around 3 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 240-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, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. 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.
