Guide review
I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Ravi Panta as my guide during the Annapurna Base Camp trek. He is mature, experienced and has excellent knowledge of the local geography and surroundings. Ravi is also very friendly, caring and reassuring. I always felt **safe and secure in his company**, which made the trek even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Ravi to anyone planning a trek in the Annapurna region.

An Excellent Guide Who Made Us Feel Safe Throughout the Trek!
2026.08.08 這次的ABC trekking 我們不幸的遇到大雨，一開始我們的嚮導Ravi建議我們走另外一側的路線，我們當下蠻猶豫的，但我們的嚮導耐心且細心跟我們解釋不同路線的差異及狀況，完全沒有強迫我們很尊重我們的想法，後來決定選擇相信嚮導的建議。一開始走的路途果真傾盆大雨，一路上都是落石坍方非常危險，還好有我們的嚮導導向更安全的道路也避免許多危險，後來幾天都能看見很漂亮的風景，嚮導也時時刻刻關心我們的狀況也會調整適合我們的路程讓我感到安心且幸福😊如果有機會來尼泊爾健行，我大力推薦Outfitter Nipal 的 嚮導Ravi，非常的專業有經驗，而且很照顧每一位夥伴！ During our ABC trekking adventure, we unfortunately encountered heavy rain. At the beginning of the trek, our guide, Ravi, suggested that we take an alternative route. We were initially quite hesitant, but Ravi patiently and carefully explained the differences and conditions of each route to us. He never pressured us into making a decision and completely respected our thoughts and preferences. In the end, we decided to trust his recommendation. As it turned out, the original route was hit by torrential rain, with falling rocks and landslides along the way, making it extremely dangerous. Thankfully, Ravi guided us toward safer paths and helped us avoid many potential dangers. Over the following days, we were rewarded with absolutely beautiful scenery. Ravi constantly checked on how we were doing and adjusted the pace and route according to our condition and abilities. His professionalism and thoughtfulness made us feel safe, comfortable, and truly happy throughout the journey. 😊 If you ever have the chance to go trekking in Nepal, I highly recommend Ravi from Outfitter Nepal! He is extremely professional, experienced, and genuinely cares about every member of the trekking group. We were very lucky to have him as our guide! ❤️

Why this scores 85
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 $707 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 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 95 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 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 264-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek?
+
Around 33 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 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.
