About this experience
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of the most popular treks in Nepal. Mt. Annapurna (8,091 m) is the 10th highest mountain in the world and the journey to its base camp which is at 4130 m/13549 ft. height. This trek combines some of the most spectacular mountain sceneries, providing a fascinating insight into the modern hill life of Nepal. This trek is also known as Annapurna Sanctuary Trek because of the combination of views of mighty Himalayan peaks and great culture. Annapurna Base Camp has very unique and incredibly spectacular settings. It is surrounded by the majestic peaks of Annapurna I (8,091 m), Annapurna South (7,219 m), Machapuchhre (6,993 m) and Hiunchuli (6,441 m). This trek is extraordinary in terms of height and depths and the varied ecosystem it provides.

Amazing Experience
I am so thankful to have gotten Milan as my guide and Kaleej as my porter for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek! They were absolutely wonderful to have for this trek. They were incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful thought the entirety of the trek.

An Unforgettable Trek
We went during monsoon season (which is usually not advised) but still had an amazing time throughout the trek. Really big thank you to Ace for making the experience seamless and extremely convenient for us throughout. Special shoutout to our Guide, Nimesh and Porter, Suke who really was the cherry on top for the entire experience. They took great care of us throughout and really just wanted us to have the best experience in Nepal (which we did). Would really recommend Ace for anyone that wishes to embark on any of the Nepal-treks as each day would definitely feel like an experience that's nothing short of amazing. We plan to head up to Everest Base Camp one day, and hopefully be scheduled with our amazing Guide (Nimesh) again! Thank you for everything, it's been an unforgettable journey! Namaste!

Great experience!
Had Nimesh as our guide. Had an absolutely wonderful time! Despite terrible weather during monsoon, too many leeches, never-ending stairs, it was still very enjoyable! He was an extremely knowledgable and trustworthy guide, we never felt lost at any point in time! I would recommend him to any others looking to trek with Ace!

A journey of a lifetime
Title : A journey of a Lifetime I've trekked in several countries, but Annapurna Base Camp stands out as the best. The trail is well-maintained, the signage is clear, and the views are consistently jaw-dropping. We took our time with acclimatization, which made the experience enjoyable rather than exhausting. The highlight was standing at base camp, surrounded by towering peaks on all sides. The food along the way was delicious, especially the garlic soup and apple pie. Our porter was a hero, carrying our bags with a smile every day. I cannot recommend this trek enough to anyone with a sense of adventure.

ABC trek!
We couldn’t recommend Ace the Himalaya more highly. Everything was coordinated seamlessly, from the fast and helpful responses to our questions before booking, to airport transfers, accommodation, meals, and the trek itself. The hotels were excellent, and Ace happily accommodated any requests we had, including an extra night in Kathmandu and organising all of our rental gear. We had a wonderful experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Milan and Kaleej. Milan’s 20+ years of experience truly showed. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to help, making us feel safe, welcome, and well looked after throughout the trek. He was always available to answer questions and genuinely made us feel special during the trip — we felt exceptionally well cared for compared to other trekking groups we encountered. Kaleej was also fantastic — friendly, hardworking, and consistently helpful. He always made sure we felt looked after, particularly when arriving at accommodation and during meal times. We highly recommend Ace the Himalaya, Milan, and Kaleej, and would absolutely book with them again!

Why this scores 90
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 $1399 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 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 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 160 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors 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 72 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 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 312-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 56 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 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, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek, Manaslu Circuit 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.
