ABC Trek w/ Friends
I completed the Annapurna Base Camp as my first trekking experience with two others. From the beginning, Ganesh was very communicative. Our guide Razan was very kind and helpful throughout the trek. The company took care of everything, including transportation to/from the airport, food, teahouses, etc., and they also provided sleeping bags. The hotels and teahouses we stayed at were very nice, we had great experiences transporting to/from Pokhara and the KTM airport, and the guide was very helpful with navigating things in the city (like where to buy/rent gear and things to do). Overall, we had a great experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Akanksha Thank you for kind words and choosing us for your first adventure to Annapurna Base Camp! We're pleased to make your journey smooth, comfortable, and memorable from start to finish. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Nepal for another adventure soon! Thank you once again.

An Unforgettable Annapurna Journey with Glorious Himalaya
As the founder of Open Circle Yoga Studio in Abu Dhabi, I regularly bring people together for experiences that support growth, connection, and self-discovery. This year, we took a group of 11 participants from our yoga and meditation community to the Annapurna region. Many of them live comfortable urban lives, so guiding them into the mountains while also creating space for yoga, meditation, reflection, and silence was not an easy task. From the very beginning, Ganesh at Glorious Himalaya was exceptional. Our group had many questions, coming from different people at different times, and he responded to every one of them with remarkable patience, care, and professionalism. Throughout the planning process, he was cooperative, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping us create the experience we envisioned. Ganesh assigned us a guide named Prakash, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. Despite his young age, he demonstrated incredible maturity, patience, and leadership. He understood the unique nature of our group and consistently helped us create spaces for yoga and meditation wherever we stayed. He worked closely with the tea houses to support periods of quietness and practice, which made a huge difference to our experience. What stood out most about Prakash was his balance of flexibility and responsibility. He gave participants the freedom to move at their own pace without pressure or judgment. At the same time, whenever safety was involved, he remained firm and clear, refusing to compromise. That combination of kindness, patience, and strong judgment made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the journey. The porters also deserve special recognition. They were far more than people carrying our bags. Every evening, they became part of the experience, sharing their joy, serving with warmth, singing songs, playing music, and creating a sense of family that touched all of us deeply. Their spirit and generosity added something truly special to the trek. Throughout the journey, Ganesh checked in with us personally to ensure everything was going smoothly. We felt supported from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. If you are looking for a trekking company that combines professionalism, flexibility, genuine care, and outstanding people, I wholeheartedly recommend Glorious Himalaya. They helped us create far more than a trek—they helped us create a meaningful life experience that our group will remember for years to come. Thank you, Ganesh, Prakash, and the entire Glorious Himalaya team.
Response from the operator: Dear Sundar sir and Open Circle Yoga Studio Team, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. It was truly a privilege to support your yoga and meditation group on this special Annapurna journey. We are delighted to hear that the experience met your expectations and created meaningful moments of connection, reflection, and personal growth for everyone involved. It was wonderful to see your group embrace both the beauty of the Himalayas and the deeper aspects of the journey through yoga and meditation. Thank you for placing your trust in Glorious Himalaya. We are honored to have been part of this life-changing experience and look forward to welcoming Open Circle Yoga Studio back to Nepal for another inspiring adventure in the future. Warm regards, Glorious Himalaya Trekking Team

Excellent
I recently booked the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Glorious Himalaya, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the beginning to the end of the trip, everything was professionally organized and well managed. The team took care of all the logistics, including transportation, accommodation, meals, and an experienced guide, which allowed me to fully enjoy the trek without worrying about any arrangements. Everything ran smoothly, and the staff was always helpful, responsive, and attentive throughout the journey. The trek itself was an unforgettable experience, and having such reliable support made it even more enjoyable. I truly appreciate the excellent service provided by Glorious Himalaya and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trek in Nepal, especially the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Thank you, Glorious Himalaya, for making this adventure so memorable!

Why this scores 83
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 $650 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 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 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 312-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 12 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 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: Both way long range transport by tourist bus. (Ktm-Pkr-Ktm); Airport pick up and drop off by private vehicle; 8 nights of twin sharing local lodges accommodations during the trek; Private car/van/jeep transport from and to the trekking point; and Dinner. Not included: International flights and Nepal visit visa; Meals during the trek; Tips to the trekking guide.; and Porters are available at an additional price. 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 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 180 minutes before the start time.
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?
+
