    Well-organised ABC trek with a great guide

    We did the Annapurna Base Camp trek and the whole experience was excellent. Everything was very well organised from start to finish. Even though the trail was quite busy, we always had our accommodation booked in advance, so we never had to worry about finding a place to sleep at the end of the day. Our guide was fantastic: friendly, attentive and always with a positive attitude. Communication with the agency was smooth throughout. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a hassle-free trek in the Annapurna region.

    Gyanu - your go to trekking guide and pal!

    My trek on the exceptional Annapurna Circuit was made extra exceptional thanks to Gyanu!! His expertise, warmth, patience, and dedication elevated my journey to even more unforgettable heights. Gyanu's extensive knowledge of Nepal and the trek and its beautiful culture and his patience and reassurance amidst my concerns about whether the elevation or I would emerge victorious pertaining to the survival of myself and my muscles enriched every step of the trek. Throughout the journey, Gyanu's passion for responsible trekking and environmental preservation shone brightly. His positivity and encouragement were a constant source of motivation, turning challenges into cherished memories. Basically, trekking with Gyanu was a delight. It's like trekking with a friend. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an extraordinary adventure in the Himalayas. Thank you, Gyanu, for an unforgettable experience!

    Annapurna Circuit Trek: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Annapurna Circuit Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,175 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 take?

    +

    Plan for about 336 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 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 Circuit Trek?

    +

    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 suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 336-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Annapurna Circuit Trek?

    +

    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 336-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Annapurna Circuit 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 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?

    +

    Included: Souvenir; Farewell dinner; All Fees and Taxes; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Lunch. Not included: Alcoholic beverages; Carbonated beverages; Snacks; and WiFi on board. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Annapurna Circuit Trek include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 314 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 offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, French and Bangla. 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?

    +

    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 wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; Specialized infant seats are available; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

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

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
