Incredible and well organised!

I just finished my Everest Base Camp trek and genuinely had the best experience thanks to my guide and porter. They were both incredible; patient, knowledgeable, and so genuinely caring the entire way. My guide made me feel safe and supported at every stage, always checking in, adjusting the pace perfectly, and sharing so much local insight. And my porter… honestly a super hero with a smile on his face always, we couldn’t have done it without him. The whole journey felt smooth, well-organised, and so much more special because of them. If you’re thinking about doing EBC, I can’t recommend this team enough, they made a challenging trek feel meaningful, fun, and completely unforgettable. Would 100% book again. ❤️🏔️

Excellent experience in Nepal thanks to High Spirit Treks&expeditions

We, my husband and I, would like to express our greatest appreciation and thanks to the agency High Spirit Treks&expeditions, who planned and effectively managed our trekking in Nepal. I'm not an expert in trekkings - this is the first trekking I do, actually - but their friendly and professional approach, of both their manager Shiva, and their guide and porter, helped us to enjoy this trekking and overcome problems we had to face, due to an  unexpected bad weather and rain who affected a considerable part of the trekking itself. In particular,  I'd like to underline their flexibility in changing the original agreed plan and adapt the daily schedule (time departure, hotel booking, destinations etc.) according to our hiking pace and weather conditions. In detail, as we couldn't reach the final destination of Annapurna Base Camp, we included Sarangkot as additional stop, and add (at our own cost) one additional night in Pokhara, a very nice and peaceful city we particularly liked. From our first contact, Shiva always gave immediate feedback to our e-mails and WhatsApps  and thoroughly checked how the trekking was proceeding.  In summary, we would recommend High Spirit Treks&expeditions, for everyone - even not expert - who would like to enjoy a visit and a trekking emotion in Nepal.

Response from the operator: Thank you for the best and most wonderful reviews and for recommending our agency - High Spirit Treks and Expedition. We are very flexible with our travel itinerary and can rearrange the itinerary as per guest needs and requests. Our Guide and porter are very responsible and well experienced about the trek route. It's our foremost duty and responsibility to serve the best travel service and travel experience for our guests. We hope you see you again in the near future and have expectations for recommending your friends too.

Annapurna Trek, Pokhara, and Kathmandu

My wife and I decided to spend our post-covid honeymoon in Nepal. Without knowing how we can enjoy Nepal in its maximal potential, we decided to reach out to High Spirits. From the first moment, the main focus of High Spirits was make sure we enjoy Nepal and that we spend our time doing what we will enjoy the most. The company organized a private tour in Nepal, visiting Kathmandu, the surrounding area, and Pokhara. Afterwards we trekked the impressive Annapurna circle and Annapurna Basecamp. We were able to enjoy the architecture, culture, and traditions. Additionally, the company made sure that we received the best hospitality everywhere we stayed. We felt supported and listened to at all the time. High Spirits made sure each day was the activity level and activities we sought. Our porter & guide was fantastic. We had to change our route due to weather. We all agreed on the new route and we were still able to see everything we were looking for. High Spirit Treks is a highly recommended company that provided us with an unforgettable experience in Nepal. We will be back for a new adventure with them.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the best presentations, we hope to see you again in the future and have expected more friends recommending. Best regards High Spirit Treks Family Namaskar

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 $1800 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 360 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 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 144 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 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 360-hour running time when deciding.

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

+

Around 1 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 360-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.
