Great Trek to ABC
We chose Everest Trekking Routes for our trekking to the Annapurna Base Camp and we are extremely happy and satisfied about how our guides managed all the details of this incredibile adventure. They prioritized our safety and brought good energy and happiness on the way, letting us just enjoy the days. Lakpa and Sandesh took good care of us, Maikal and Anand have been great supporters! We hope we'll have the opportunity to trek again with them in the future!

Amazing experience, smooth communication
We had an amazing time with Everest trekking routes. From the start, everything was smooth and communication was great. The weather gave us minor hiccups but the company and guides handled changes smoothly. I also really appreciated our guides Sushil and Aita for caring for the team. From ensuring our safety on the trail to prepping dinner orders they were always there for us. I would highly recommend everest trekking routes to anyone who is interested in trekking in Nepal.

Excellent Guides and a Memorable ABC Trek
We had a great experience doing the ABC trek with Sushil as our guide and Aita as our assistant guide. Both were incredibly patient and accommodating to our group’s pace, especially as we were a larger group and not used to the terrain. They were also very attentive throughout the trek — making sure we were well hydrated, helping us adjust our hiking poles, answering our questions, assisting with photos, and even personally serving us our meals. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. We also really appreciated how responsive Rabin was before and during the trip, especially when our plans had to change due to the weather and trekking conditions. We definitely would not have completed the trek as comfortably and confidently without Sushil and Aita. Thank you for taking such good care of us! We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to do the ABC trek — smooth communication, reliable arrangements, and most importantly, trustworthy people who genuinely look after their trekkers.

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 $935 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 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 147 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
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?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 51 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 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?

+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+

Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
