    An Amazing Trip to ABC Nepal

    An Amazing Experience with an Excellent Guide! I had a wonderful experience with this tour company. Everything was well organised, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful throughout the journey. What I appreciated most was the guide’s experience and professionalism. They made sure we were comfortable and safe, while also sharing interesting information and stories along the way. The guidance during the mountain trekking was especially valuable. Even when the climb was challenging, our guide encouraged us and made the experience enjoyable and memorable. I truly enjoyed the entire journey and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable, experienced, and friendly tour guide. Thank you for making this trip such a memorable experience! 🙏🏔️

    Anapurna Circuit with ABC Trek and Tour

    In mid-September 2026, my girlfriend and I went on the Annapurna Circuit trek with the agency ABC Trek and Tour. I arranged the trip with the owner, Janak, two months in advance, handling everything via WhatsApp. All agreements were honored; we paid a 50% deposit upfront, and everything went perfectly. Janak’s services began upon our arrival—with a driver waiting for us at the airport—and concluded when the taxi dropped us off for our departure flight after the holiday. The service was excellent. We had a guide, Damu, and a sherpa. I was a bit concerned about privacy, but they were very considerate. When we wanted to, we walked and chatted together; otherwise, my girlfriend and I walked alone while Damu and the sherpa stayed a short distance away. We comfortably completed the Annapurna Circuit in five days of normal walking! It is much easier without heavy backpacks. It is better to fly between Kathmandu and Pokhara; there is only one road into the mountains, and the journey takes a full day each way. The best accommodation was in Manang and at Tilicho Base Camp; I definitely recommend visiting Tilicho Lake! I can highly recommend Janak, Damu, the sherpa, and the entire agency! They ensured we had a worry-free holiday from start to finish. We would certainly love to come back! Thanks!

    An Unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp Adventure

    We had an incredible experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with this agency, and we would recommend it without hesitation! From the very beginning, Janak was our main point of contact by email and WhatsApp. He was extremely responsive, always answered all of our questions very quickly, and made us feel reassured throughout the preparation. He was also the one who welcomed us at the hotel the evening before our departure, with great kindness and a big smile. It was a lovely way to start our adventure. The trek itself was absolutely incredible. The landscapes were breathtaking, with spectacular mountains, waterfalls, forests and so many beautiful views along the way. We did the trek at the end of the monsoon season, so we had quite a lot of rain, which made the adventure even more memorable! And of course, there were what felt like an incalculable number of steps… but every single one was worth it once we reached Annapurna Base Camp. And how could we talk about this trek without mentioning our guide, Damu? He was absolutely amazing. Very sociable, talkative, kind and caring, he made the trek even more enjoyable. He taught us about the trees, local traditions and the places we were walking through, and he patiently answered all our endless questions. We laughed a lot together, and we are truly grateful for the way he looked after us throughout the entire trek. Our Sherpa was a little more reserved, and unfortunately we had fewer opportunities to talk because of the language barrier, but he was always polite, gentle and helpful. We really appreciated his presence and all the effort he put in to make our trek as comfortable as possible. We were also pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort of the teahouses. The showers were almost always hot, the food was consistently very good and plentiful, and extra blankets were always available when the nights got cold. After long days of walking, these little comforts made a huge difference! Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, both for the incredible scenery and for the wonderful people who accompanied us along the way. We would recommend this agency with our eyes closed, and we are already looking forward to coming back to Nepal. Maybe next time for Everest Base Camp!

    Annapurna Base Camp

    My journey to Annapurna Base Camp became one of the highlights of my time in Nepal. The mountains, nature, and atmosphere along the trail were absolutely unforgettable. I was lucky to meet Krishna through this amazing center, and having him as a guide made the experience even more special. He is friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, and always creates a positive mood during the trek. Spending time in the Himalayas with someone like him was truly a pleasure. I would love to return one day and discover more trekking routes together.

    Amazing Nepal Adventure with a Wonderful Guide

    My Nepal trip was truly an unforgettable experience, all thanks to the excellent planning and support of Mr Janak . Everything was managed smoothly — from transportation and hotels to sightseeing and adventure activities. The entire journey was comfortable, well-organized, and stress-free. The highlight of the trip was definitely the Annapurna Base Camp experience. The breathtaking mountain views, peaceful atmosphere, and guidance provided throughout the trek made it absolutely memorable. The team ensured our safety and comfort at every step, which made the adventure even more enjoyable. Another exciting part of the trip was the bungee jumping experience. It was thrilling, safe, and very professionally managed. The staff motivated and supported us throughout, making it a once-in-a-lifetime memory. The team was polite, cooperative, and always available whenever needed. Nepal itself is beautiful, but this company made the experience even more special. Highly recommended to anyone planning a Nepal trip filled with adventure, comfort, and unforgettable memories!

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pokhara.

    How much does Annapurna Base Camp Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $450 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pokhara 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 120 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 Pokhara is not rushed.

    Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pokhara, 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 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

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

    +

    Around 7 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 Pokhara 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 Pokhara and add a light layer if any part of the 120-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 Pokhara 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 Pokhara?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Pokhara experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek 3N-4D, Annapurna Base Camp Trek -8 days, Ghorepani Poon Hill 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 Pokhara?

    +

    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 Pokhara?

    +

    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: Guide: In-person: English; Available Tea house/Lodge; Sharing Transport to the Starting and from Ending point of trek; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Insurance and Rescue; and Gratitude (Optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

    +

    We offer free pick up service from any Hotels in Lakeside area. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    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.

    Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

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

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Pokhara. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

    +

    Across 20 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, organization, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
