ABC trek - fantastic experience with Himalayan Adventure
Himalayan trek and adventure (Bhagwat and team) were fantastic and provided a great service. They were great from our first communication and went beyond to help our adhoc requirements during the trip. Guide (Bharat) and our porter (Heera) were very helpful and took care of us when needed during the trek. I strongly recommend Bhagwat and team if anyone is looking for a reliable tour operator in Nepal.

ABC + Poon Hill Trekking
The ABC+Poon Hill Trekking was a wonderful experience. Prakash was a very knowledgeable guide. Everyday's plan was well briefed in advance. We were a group of 7. He made sure everyone in the group maintain a comfortable pace and adjusted plan to fit our needs. Bhagwat organized the entire trip and made it so smoothly. He was very responsive in communication and often worked late. Overall 5 of 5.

Thoroughly memorable trip!
I originally found this tour operator through the TravelZoo website and was curious about their Annapurna Base Camp package. A friend and I decided to try it despite our mutual age of 71. The package gets my whole-hearted five star rating for value, customer care, and richness of experience. Although my wife and I have been blessed with numerous wonderful travel experiences, this is the only trip I could call "a trip of a lifetime". The natural beauty of Nepal is so much richer than just giant snow-capped mountains. The trekker climbs through tropical rainforests of bamboo and blooming Rhododendron. And the cultural immersion! A wonderful, memorable trip! However, there's no luxury included. The package provides the necessities for trekking including a guide, lodging, and most meals. Food and lodging along the trail are unavoidably modest. Seasoned trekkers probably expect this, but my friend and I were both first-timers. And the trek is no stroll in the park -- it is quite extreme, at least for a couple of old guys. But I believe that most healthy, motivated adults could thoroughly enjoy it with proper preparation. Mr. Bhagwat Simkhada runs a highly reputable tour operation that earned my complete trust.
Response from the operator: Dear Jlit, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Company. We are so pleased with your positive response. Besides our services and hospitality. Your Precious words encourage us to provide better service in the Future. We are very sure that you will definitely visit this beautiful country next time. With Regards Bhagwat Simkhada

Annapurna Base Camp Trek -13 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Annapurna Base Camp Trek -13 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $1,350 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 -13 Days take?
+
Plan for about 312 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 -13 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 33 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 -13 Days?
+
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 -13 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek -13 Days?
+
Around 12 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 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Annapurna Base Camp Trek -13 Days 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 Trek -13 Days?
