ABC Treck in December
It was good. My guide Shreedhar was very helpful. I booked 8 days ABC trek but we finished in 5 days (there is no compensation if you finish earlier). I think it’s normal to finish in 5/6 days. In December it’s cold in the mountains but the weather was really sunny.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much dear Chabg, for your kind words . we are so happy that you have great time with Shree during the trek.. we really hope to see you and do another adventure in the future . Thank you again . namaste

Warm and Wonderful Trekking with Madu
I wanna say thank you to Madu for everything you arranged for me. I did the ABC trekking with Madu. Throughout the whole trekking, theres nothing i need to worry for. Madu just did his best to make sure that everything goes well. Of course, the great view we found during trekking is also unforgettable. For everyone who are hesitating on choosing a guide, I recommend you to choose Madu. He will make sure you will have a care-free and fun trekking. You will also find that he is a very nice person and he do really care about your experience and feeling. I would definitely see you in Nepal next time, Madu!
Response from the operator: Dear Ivan, Namaste!!! Thank you so much for your heartfelt review and for sharing your experience of the Annapurna Base Camp trek with us! It’s wonderful to know that you had a care-free and enjoyable journey, and I’m truly grateful for your kind words about my guidance and efforts to ensure everything went smoothly. The unforgettable views of the Himalayas are indeed magical, and I’m thrilled that you got to experience them fully. Your recommendation means a lot to me and inspires me to keep delivering the best trekking experiences. I’m looking forward to welcoming you back to Nepal for another adventure in the future! Until then, take care and keep exploring the nature!! I really hope to see you soon Namaste!

Experience the Himalayas the Way you Want
I was fortunate to trek with Madu, his wife Pramila, and two of his friends on a customized tour to Muktinath. Madu made the experience as stress free as possible, as he took care of all of the logistics, from the bus rides, lodging, and ordering food. He also was a wealth of information about the area, introduced us to some of the local culture around the Mustang area, and allowed us some freedom to explore. I'm really grateful to have visited so many Tibetan Buddhist temples, to walk under the 108 water taps at the Muktinath temple, experience a Hindu aarti ceremony, hunt for shaligram on the Kali Kandaki, go cave exploring, and just be in the Himalayas with a caring and trustworthy guide. Whether you want a cultural experience or to trek the Himalayas, Madu will ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. He's a great guy, and even better human being. I've met a guide, and made a good friend.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Dear,Jerome for your kind words and reviw, We are glad that you enjoy the trek and time stay with us.. It was really was a plasuere to be with you and hike in the mountain, thank you so much again for your time and support please feel like you have a home here in Pokhara with us and you and you are always welcome for more treks... lokking forward to see you soon .. namaste from our team and family ...

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek (8 days): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pokhara.
How much does Annapurna Base Camp Trek (8 days) 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 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 (8 days) take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 (8 days) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 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 (8 days)?
+
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 (8 days) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 192-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek (8 days)?
+
Around 16 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Annapurna Base Camp Trek (8 days) 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, Annapurna Base Camp Treks. 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.
