Annapurna Mountain Local People Nature Local Food and Local Guide Pokhara and Kathmandu Valley Since it opened to foreign trekkers in 1977, Annapurna Circuit Trek is renowned as one of the most spectacular and varied walks in the world with lush green valleys and fascinating villages that offer impressive snow-capped views of the white Himalayas.

Continuing to the north of the main Himalayan range to the high and dry Tibetan Plateau, the scenery is equally breathtaking.

Great Experience!

We did a part of the Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake (13 day) and had a great experience with Alpine Club of Himalaya. Sujan (the owner) was very helpful and kept close contact with us and our guide during the trek. The trek itself was well organized and executed. We had a wonderful guide (Tsiring) who spoke good English, was very experienced, and also very kind. We would definitely recommend Alpine Club of Himalaya.

Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Namaste and Greetings from Alpine Club of Himalaya !!! Thank you for choosing Alpine Club of Himalaya for your holidays and I am quite thankful to you for your time dropping nice review here. It was rewarding for all of us to read that every aspect of your trip was of memorable. As usual, it will give me great joy to share your words with the team who continuously do their best to please our clients. We look forward to your next visit to Nepal with your friends/family to experience and re-discover what my agency can offer in term of services and products as appreciated by many of our valued customers for greater adventures in their walk of the Himalaya.

Annapurna circuit

I booked the Annapurna circuit through Sujan who was accommodating in every way possible! My guide Nigma Sherpa was very professional and caring when I experienced altitude sickness. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with alpine club of Himalaya again :)

Awesome 1st solo hike experience

Really appreciate that the tour isn’t canceled even with only single attendance. The view throughout all the trek is amazing and the services provided by the tour guide assigned (Phuri) is also top notch. He made sure that I explore as much as we can while making sure my safety. Will definitely book again for my next trip and won’t think twice if I need to do another solo hiking

A wonderful trekking experience.

Easy communication with Sujan the CEO pre trip to accomodate individual requests for the trek, travel and accomodation. Everything ran smoothly. Our guide and porter made an amazing trek all the more special in sharing their knowledge of the culture, geography and history. From the CEO to our guide and porter we were supported and cared for and I highly recommend the company. An amazing trek and wonderful memories.

Annapurna Circuit trek.

Had a very memorable adventure with Alpine Club of Himalaya. Sujan offered exceptional service in organising the trek for us and Ngima was an extremely professional and knowledgeable guide. The trek was a fantastic experience and we felt we were in safe hands the entire time. As we were a group of 2 we were able to tailor the trek to suit our needs. This made us feel that we had control over our adventure. Would highly recommend the Alpine Club of Himalaya to anyone thinking of doing any trekking in Nepal.

Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 Days: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 Days cost?

+

Prices start at $1,599 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 - 19 Days take?

+

Plan for about 456 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 - 19 Days worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 22 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 - 19 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 - 19 Days suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 456-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 Days?

+

Around 8 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 456-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 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 - 19 Days?

+

Included: Porter service (2 trekkers: 1 porter); Lunch; Dinner; All government and local taxes; and Breakfast. Not included: Nepalese visa fee; International airfare to and from Kathmandu; Excess baggage charges; and Lunch and dinner in Kathmandu and/or Pokhara. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 Days include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 195 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 Days 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 Circuit Trek - 19 Days?

+

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 Circuit Trek - 19 Days wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+

What happens to Annapurna Circuit Trek - 19 Days if the weather is bad?

+
