The rocky trails, the beautiful grassland, unique villages, silent rivers and the thick forests make this one of the best treks you will ever venture upon. Walking through diverse landscapes and backdrops, you will witness the best nature has to offer. Annapurna Base Camp is situated at the height of 4,130m so acclimatization is one of the important factors. Annapurna Base Camp Trek, however, is one of the easiest ones and does not require much physical fitness.

    ABC with Happy Land Treks

    We did Annapurna Base Camp trek with Happy Land Treks in May and it was incredible. 8 days, up to 4,130m, and genuinely one of the best trips I have done. Everything was sorted before we even landed from permits to itinerary, packing advice, all of it. On the trail, the guide (Karma) knew the route well and kept a solid pace and the teahouse stays were smooth even in the more remote spots. IWould recommend Bimal and company to anyone thinking about doing this trek.

    Family trek to ABC

    Thanks to Happyland Treks and Bimal for organising an unforgettable trek to ABC for our family of 5, catering for both 20 and 50 year olds! From the day we contacted him, several months ago, Bimal was super responsive and accommodating making our trip hassle free and relaxing. We always seemed to get the rooms with the best views in the teahouses and countless other small touches that only a local with his experience can get. Our Sherpa guide Karma was calm, capable and flexible and made sure we were well looked after. Our assistant guide & porter also have our highest respect and gratitude. We would highly recommend Happyland Treks.

    Annapurna base camp

    Happyland Trek has quite literally made my whole trip unforgettable. This was my first trekking experience, and choosing Happyland Trek was the best decision I could have made. Bimal, the Managing Director, went above and beyond to make the entire journey smooth and stress free for me and my friend. Everything was so well organized, from the admin side to all the little details needed for the trek. A special shout out to the rest of the team as well! they truly took great care of us every step of the way. I could go on and on, but simply put, I can’t wait for my next trip to Nepal with Happyland Trek. Thank you so much to the entire team for making this such an incredible experience!

    Great experience

    We are Polish tourists who were trekking to Annapurna Base Camp as a couple, Happyland Treks provided us a guide and a porter. Both guys were amaizing. Our guide Manis was really helpful for the whole trip, he cared for us all the time and always checked if we need anything or if we have enough water. We could talk with him about anything and also he gave us interesting informations about Nepal and Nepali culture. He was very flexible about trekking plan and allowed us to decide if we want to trek a bit longer one day to get shorter trek next day or when and where we want to take a lunch brake. All the accomodations we were sleeping at were good, some of them were excelent. Happyland provided us all the food during the trekking and a lot of snack. They provided us also water purifying tablets and our guide got fresh water for us when we needed. The view from the Base Camp was really worth it, it was really unique experience. I really reccomend Happyland treks, guys were great. You also pay one price and get basically everything included so you don't have to worry about anything during the trek.

    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 $1,200 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 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 336-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    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 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 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?

    +

    Included: Nayapul - Pokhara by private transportation; Annapurna conservation area entry permit, include park and hot spring; All government and local taxes; Company Duffel bag and a t-shirt; and Airport pick up and drop by car/van/ bus. Not included: Lunch and dinner during your Kathmandu and Pokhara stay; Travel medical insurance and emergency evacuation cost; Nepal entry visa fee. International air fare; and Personal equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Annapurna Base Camp Trek include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 192 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Annapurna Base Camp Trek offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

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

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Annapurna Base Camp Trek if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

    +

    Across 4 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, organization, photo opportunities. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
