    Stunning trip

    We set out to circumnavigate Annapurna on motorcycles. The trip was organized with great professionalism, the guidance was of a high standard, and the service from the mechanic and accompanying driver were excellent.

    Unforgettable experience

    The Annapurna circuit trek was a trip of a lifetime, and Bhagwat was so helpful in the run up to the trek and during it too. He was so responsive to messages, and made sure we had all the right kit, as well as providing us with recommendations throughout our trip. Our guide Bharat was an awesome, kind guy with so much knowledge, and he was so much fun to be around - we had the best time with him and had a real laugh. He looked after us lots and it's thanks to him that our trip was so special. I would 100% recommend this company, and I hope we will be back to do another trek with them.

    Response from the operator: Dear Mckermaca, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your review of our company. We are truly delighted to hear your positive feedback regarding our services and hospitality. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and motivate us to continue improving and delivering the highest standard of service in the future. We sincerely hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to this beautiful country again on your next visit. With regards, Bhagwat Simkhada

    Annapurna Circuit

    It was my second time booking with Himalayan Adventure, and I can't recommend them more. I was fortunate to have Prakash as a guide both times and I would happily trek with him again in the future. He's knowledgeable, kind, helpful, friendly, and flexible. His English is also excellent. We got very lucky with the weather and mostly had clear mornings and beautiful views. I always feel small and humbled by the Himalayas, and this trip was no exception. It had been a life-long dream of mine to see Annapurna, and it was worth the effort. Thank you my friend, for another unforgettable adventure. I'll be back! (Additional thanks to Bhagwat for organizing another excellent adventure for my friends and me!)

    Response from the operator: Dear David, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Company. We are so pleased with your positive response. Besides our services and hospitality. Your Precious words encourage us to provide better service in the Future. We are very sure that you will definitely visit this beautiful country next time. With Regards Bhagwat Simkhada

    Amazing trip

    10 of us recently did a 16-day annapurna circuit trek with himalayan adventures. The entire trek was very well managed. Our guide, Badri, was top notch and took care of all our needs. Accommodation, food, travel, porters and guides were all arranged perfectly and we had very little to complain about. Thank you for an amazing trip!

    ABC trek!! Wonderful experience

    We, Group of 10 people did amazing ABC trek in April month of 2024. It was beautiful experience and it was possible because of planning and execution by Himalayan tours. Special mention to our Guide Badri Karki sir who was with us throughout the journey. Badriji helped each one of us where required and made us achieve the Thorong pass trek. His determination and way of supporting individual is really appreciated by each one of us. We recommend Badriji for any tours in nepal. Thanks for the beautiful journey Himalaya Tours and travels.

    Annapurna Circuit Trek -13 Days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Annapurna Circuit Trek -13 Days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,000 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 Circuit Trek -13 Days 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 Circuit Trek -13 Days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Circuit Trek -13 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 Circuit Trek -13 Days 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 Circuit Trek -13 Days?

    +

    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 312-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Annapurna Circuit Trek -13 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 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 Circuit Trek -13 Days?
