About this experience
Annapurna Region Trekking is a popular trekking trail. No big surprise it is a standout amongst the most famous trekking destination on the planet and the most visited trekking area in Nepal. Annapurna Region lies the Annapurna Conservation Area. The territory is one of the very much safeguarded and all around kept up environmental and social hotspots on the planet. The way of life of gurung individuals along the Ghanduruk Valley and the interminably magnificent pinnacles of Annapurna Ranges are the attractive attractions of this district. The Annapurna Region is encompassed by numerous Himalayan reaches which incorporate the Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri and Machhapuchhre or the popular fish-tail mountain that overwhelms the horizon above Pokhara.

QUALITY EXPERIENCE
Had an amazing experience on my Annapurna Base Camp trek. Everything was well planned, and the entire journey was smooth from start to finish. A special thanks to our guide, Damu Mainali, whose support, encouragement, and local knowledge made the trek even more memorable. He always made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trek in Nepal!

Wonderful experience
This is the best trek which I have went, I am not a big trekker to be frank, I did completed only go karna trek which is 5 kms. But the guide Damo is a gem of a person he came for us for the whole trip still he had fever and cold and he stayed right with us till the last day of the trip. Now he became a good friend to me. Unforgettable experience finishing it, it wouldn’t been not possible without Damo sir. Thanks !!

Amazing 15 days trek around the Annapurnas
We had an amazing experience with Mission Summit Trek, especially with our guide Madan who has been wonderful to us. It was so comfortable to count on someone who knows the country and who arrange everything for you. We spend 15 days in the mountain and we have memories for life. Damu was so nice and so reactive to us when we had questions before the trek. I recommend sooooo much. Thank you again for everything.

Gorgeous mountains and scenic hiking treks with a very professional team
We did the Annapurna Circuit Trek in March with Damu and his team. We had a wonderful time in Nepal with Damu, he was very professional, helpful, well organised, always on time, flexible with our plans and last but not least he has a very good sense of humour, which we really appreciated. Food was plenty and delicious, more than we needed, so forget about losing weight on the trek 😂 I highly recommend doing the trek with Mission Summit Treks and Expedition, you won’t be disappointed. 😍

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 $769 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 336 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 84 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?
+
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 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 336-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
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 336-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, Classic Everest Base Camp 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.
