    ***I woud like to write 2 reviews in Thai and English*** I had an amazing experience trekking with Nature Explore Trek. I used both a guide and a porter from their team, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their service.The guide was professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the journey. The porter was also incredibly hardworking and kind, which made the whole trip much easier for us. What I appreciated the most was how well they took care of us every single day always checking on our condition, helping with everything we needed, and making sure we enjoyed every moment of the trek. I highly recommend Nature Explore Trek to anyone looking for a reliable and caring trekking company in Nepal.

    Annapurna circuit Trek

    My wife and I did EBC/Gokyo a couple years ago with Nature Explore, and liked it so much we went back to do a second trip with them this year. In October, we headed to the start of Manaslu circuit with porter-guides Anil and Nirkumar. Just when we wanted to start the trek, a freak storm system had us pinned down in a teahouse for a few days. Landslides destroyed the roads and trails, making the area very hazardous. We spoke to Dinesh and he suggested we head over to a safer area - Annapurna. With all the fresh snowfall, scenery was spectacular. Will never forget the days on the Ice Lake and Thorong La portions, a total winter wonderland! Anil and Nirkumar were fantastic. Besides being really enjoyable to be around, these guys are very knowledgeable about Annapurna. Dinesh couldn't be more helpful, both during the prep of the trip and during, he is always there if you need him and gets back to you right away, every time. I would like to do more treks with Nature Explore and am continuing to recommend them to all my friends and family.

    Response from the operator: Namaste Thank you very much for taking your time to write this wonderful review. We truly appreciate it and we are especially grateful that you chose to come back with us once again. Safety always comes first and we're glad that the change to Annapurna still gave you such a memorable experience. We're happy to hear that our team support you throughput the trip. Thank you for your continued trust and for recommending us to your freinds and family. We look forward to trekking with you again in the future.

    One of the best trips so far.

    Had a great time with Dinesh and team at Nature Explore Trek. Chhiban (my guide) and Rajendra took great care of me along the route helping me navigate the trail and also the tea houses. I saw some of the best mountain views of my life and the trek along the way was spectacular. Loved every minute of it. Chhiban set a perfect pace for me along the trek. Thank you to the entire team at Nature Explore Trek for helping me experience one of my dreams. Highly recommend this team.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience. We are truly grateful for your review. It’s wonderful to hear that Chabin, Rajendra, and the entire Nature Explore Trek team could support you throughout your trek and help make your dream journey a reality. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the stunning views, the trail, and the pace of your trek. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to being part of many more of your adventures

    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 $1,450 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 288 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 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 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 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Annapurna circuit Trek?

    +

    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 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 288-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: Kathmandu – Darapani & marpha – Tatopani bus or jeep by sharing basis; Treated drinking water; During the trek accommodation; All trip necessary documents and Gov. Tax vat etc; and 3 star Hotel in Kathmandu. Not included: International Airfare; Travel insurance; Trekking Equipment's; and Extra nights stay in Kathmandu and Pokhara before trek and after trek. 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 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu.

    What languages is Annapurna circuit Trek offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Hindi, English, Chinese, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +

    Is Annapurna circuit Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: 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?
