Amazing trek with Odyssey!
Odyssey Treks was wonderful to work with! Communication with Rojesh in the planning phases prior to the trip was outstanding. He helped us tailor the ABC trek to fit our timing, answered any questions that popped up right away, and coordinated airport pick up and in country transport for us. The trek itself was brilliant! We had the perfect balance of trekking and enjoying the views. Our porter Dami was great, always smiling. Accommodation was very comfortable along the way and we were always well fed. The sunset and sunrise views at ABC were spectacular. We have a friend for life with our guide Karma. He is an amazing person and a fantastic guide…truly a pleasure to trek with and learn about Nepal along the way.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🙏 It was truly a pleasure helping you plan your Annapurna Base Camp trek and making sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the trek, the views, and the company of Karma and Dami — they will be thrilled to hear your kind words! Your appreciation means a lot to all of us at Odyssey Treks Nepal. We are delighted you had such a memorable experience and hope to welcome you back again for another adventure in the Himalayas. Warm regards, Rojesh

ABC Trek
I had an extraordinary experience on a 5 day trek to Annapurna base camp with my daughter. Everything was taken care of by Karma the guide and Domi the porter. It was a beautiful trek with waterfalls, views of the mountains and stops at Tea Houses to rest and eat. I never had to worry about anything except putting one foot in front of the other. Karma was very attentive, kind and fun. Domi cheerfully carried our things and was also attentive to our needs. This was a trip of a lifetime and Odyssey Treks made sure it was seamless.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful words! 🙏 It was truly our pleasure to have you here in Nepal and to be part of your adventure in the Annapurna region. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the trek and felt well cared for by Karma and Dami — they will be thrilled to know they made your trip special. We really appreciate your trust and flexibility throughout the journey, and we hope to welcome you back again for another Himalayan adventure soon! Warm regards, Rojesh

Why this scores 65
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 $995 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 216 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 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular 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 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 216-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 216-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.
