Unforgettable Experience with an Outstanding Travel Team to Annapurna Base Camp
Unforgettable Experience with an Outstanding Travel Team to Annapurna Base Camp We had an incredible journey to Annapurna Base Camp in April, and it was all made possible by the excellent service from our travel team. From the very first day until the end of the trip, everything was handled with top-notch professionalism. When I experienced altitude sickness, the team responded swiftly and efficiently. They provided constant care, attention, and the right advice, ensuring I could safely continue and eventually reach the peak. Our guides Mr. Bibek, Mr. Ram, and Mr. Ganish were truly attentive and caring toward our family of four. We were deeply touched by how much they looked after us. Special thanks also go to Mr. Urja Tamang, who never once stayed idle. He continuously checked on our progress and well-being throughout the 13-day journey. Though the trip was short, we felt like we had become a family, and their kindness left a lasting impression on us. They were very attentive to every detail, especially when it came to our halal meals, which were always well taken care of. In short, every aspect of the service was excellent. Their hospitality makes me eager to return to Nepal for my next adventure. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Madam. Aan, I thank you so much and very appreciated that lovely reviews us and our team members. I hope again leading your another adventure in Nepal with your family's. Have a good day.

A great lifetime hiking experience to ABC!
As a Malaysian Muslim, I couldn't be happier to have chosen Alliance Adventure as our family's tour company to ABC! It is with great pleasure that I write this long review, and I would like to thank Mr. Urja and his team again for being very accommodating to our needs and for taking great responsibility in catering to our halal diet. The trip was masterfully planned, with much of the preparation continuously done ahead of time, reducing waiting times—especially during our many meals. They were also very flexible with their plans and adjusted easily to our last-minute requests. Our guide, Mr. Bibek, is an expert and is well-known along the trek, maintaining many important contacts that proved useful to us. He is also genuinely fun to be around and gave us great motivation when we needed it most. The porters assigned to us (Mr. Ram and Mr. Ganesh) were incredibly helpful and attentive, and they cared deeply about our safety and well-being. In the end, I considered them as good friends and hope to meet them again in the future. The ABC journey itself has been an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience for me! If you love hiking, then it should be at the top of your travel destinations.
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. Adli Sir, I thank you so much and very appreciated that you are really enjoy your ABC Trek with Us and kind your lovely reviews as recommended. I hope again will be your leading your another trip in Nepal with us.

Family group of 4 ABC trekking experiences including Phoon Hill.
Had an amazing experience trekking to Annapurna Base Camp with Mr. Urja and his team! Everything was well-organized from day one until our flight home. We made it safely to Poon Hill and ABC, and the 12-days trek went smoothly with good meals and accommodations throughout. Big thanks to our guide Mr. Bibek and the porters for all their support—especially for encouraging my wife through her altitudes sickness moments. Couldn’t have asked for a better team! Highly recommend them for anyone planning a trek in Nepal
Response from the operator: Dear Mr. AZHAR Sir & Familys, I thank you so much for your lovely reviews us. I hope that again will be working with you and your family's in Nepal Mountains.

Why this scores 64
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 $1,250 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 264 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 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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.
Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Annapurna Base Camp Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 4 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 264-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: Trekking Permit and TIMS Cards; Medical Kit Bag during the trek; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Cold Drinks, Mine water, Hot Shower, Battery charging, Phone calls, laundry and Bar bills; Tips for guide and potters; Mountain High Altitude sickness Insurance; and Kathmandu and Pokhara Lunch and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Annapurna Base Camp Trek include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu.
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?
+
