Your guide meets you right in Kathmandu, not somewhere down the trail. You travel together by comfortable tourist bus to Pokhara, so the trip starts as a team from day one, not once you reach the mountains, with everything already arranged along the way. From there it is Poon Hill sunrise over Dhaulagiri and Annapurna, then five more days walking deeper into the Sanctuary to Base Camp itself, with the mountains closing in around you the entire route, the air thinning and the villages growing sparser the higher you climb. Real villages, real forest, a proper hot springs stop at Jhinu Danda near the end of the trek. Guide and porter included the whole way, teahouses every night, nothing technical required, just sustained walking with a genuine payoff waiting at the top for anyone willing to put the days in.

    Annapurna Base Camp solo - May 2026 *****

    Wonderful walk through the Annapurna region trek

    "Mountain Hike Nepal promised us no more than they delivered, in every conceivable way. But painting a picture of what we have experienced will do this more justice. Through bamboo forests, sparkling snow fields and along supernatural peaks we were able to always walk at our own…" Highly Recommonded to Mountain Hike Nepal

We put customer experience and satisfaction is our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Poon Hill from Kathmandu: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Poon Hill from Kathmandu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $789 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 with Poon Hill from Kathmandu 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 with Poon Hill from Kathmandu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 with Poon Hill from Kathmandu?

    +

    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 with Poon Hill from Kathmandu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Poon Hill from Kathmandu?

    +

    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 with Poon Hill from Kathmandu 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 with Poon Hill from Kathmandu?

    Included: Teahouse accommodation & All meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) during the trek; All gound Transfer Includes , Toruist bus (Ktm to pkr ktm) & Sharing jeep from Pkr to ulle; Government Taxes and Service Charge; Two night accomodation in pokhara with breakfast (Twin/double) deluxe room; and All necessary paperwork and trekking permits (ACAP).
