Unforgettable experience

I contacted Adventure Bound very spontaneously, as I had booked a flight within just a few days and decided to trek the Annapurna Circuit solo. Despite the short notice, everything was organized perfectly from start to finish — from the airport pickup to the accommodations throughout the trek. What touched me most was the dedication of my guide, Ganes. He was incredibly attentive, conscientious and always made sure I was feeling well and taken care of. Looking back, his care and commitment truly impressed me. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.

Response from the operator: Dear Julia, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that your Annapurna Circuit trek was smoothly organized despite the short notice and that everything from arrival to the trail went well. We truly appreciate your kind words about Ganes. His attentiveness and commitment to guest care are qualities we value highly, and we will make sure he receives your feedback. Thank you for choosing Adventure Bound. We hope to welcome you again for another journey in Nepal. Warm regards, Adventure Bound Nepal Team

Real bike challenge! Amazing company!

With Himalayan Single Track my dream to reach Thorung La, 5416m, with the mountain bike came true! In 8 days cycling from Tal to Beni. Just amazing! The whole preparation and organization with Jenny, the owner of the company and a big bike shop in Kathmandu, was super professional and nice. So much information via email and at a welcome dinner in Kathmandu. Jenny chose only the best, stylish and well equipped accomodations for me, offering me delicious food and clean bottled water. My full suspension Giant Trance bike with new Maxxis tires was easily up to the task and daily serviced by my guide. It was transported on a pick up to the starting point in Tal.  The whole team, Jenny, Awatar, my porter Ulal and driver Robin, worked together smoothly. Awatar, my energetic, super professional, caring and funny guide was the best company I can imagine! He showed me the most exciting single trails, temples and beautiful places,  helped me with the bike and made a movie from the whole trip! Absolutely stunning landscape and single trails - up to snow covered mountains, down to the deepest gorge, the Kali Gandaki. More than 7000m elevation gain was a challenge! For such a tour you need a company you can trust and rely on! Himalayan Single Track is your best choice! Thanks Jenny and Awatar! It was a pleasure, an adventure, so much fun! I will come back!

It's an adventurous trekking experience. Wheather in night drop to -20 °c & wind speed is 20km/hr.

It's an adventurous trekking experience. Where climate is a challange in night temperature drop down to -20°c and everything get freeze even water in your normal bottle. I had start my trek from besisashar to bhulbule to nadi to bapudada to gheru to chamje next day from chamje to chame. 3rd day chame to manang then i had enjoy manang 2 night to acclimitation. In manang the Alpine home & hotel Mountain lake are best for stay. Hotel Mountain lake accept credit card payment. 6th day i had started trekking from manang to Yak kharka. I was alone walking on the trek few trekker i had met those are return back before Yak kharka wheather change and wind blow 10 kms/hr which made it difficult to walk. In night i had stay in himalaya view in Yak Kharka upper. 7 th day i had started my trek from yak kaarka upper for thorung Pedi. In thorung pedi i had stay in thorung pedi base camp lodge. It's a beautiful property with beautiful glass dinning area with a beautiful view of valley etc. 8 th day i had started my final trek to muktinath. There i had a unique experience i had cross thorang la pass and futher move toward muktinathbut i was late and nightfall round about 6 p.m i had reached vishnu chula just before the muktinath temple. It was difficult to find the way noone it there is help me. I had saw a hut but noone was there. I have on option i have to wait there so that the person living there will come and i ask for help. I was waiting there but with the time the temperature goes down. Unwilling i had open the gate of the hut and again start waiting. Finally baba ji came and i apolosise for opening his hut in their absence and asked him to help me. I had lost the direction. He's so kind he help me and give me tea and it was the best tea of my life. Baba ji gave me food and space to sleep. Baba ji save my life. In the morning he take me inside the temple and explain the importance of this palce where lord Vishnu came 25 thousand years ago for warshipping/ tap. Further baba ji show me the way to muktinath temple and i had reached muktinath temple and had darshan. In this way my trekking complete with a unique spritual expirence where once i had admitted that today i am going to die with the cold.

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 $1319 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 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 98 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna Circuit Trek?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 144 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?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 10. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 336-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Annapurna Circuit Trek?

+

Around 34 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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Kathmandu Food and Drink Walking Tour. 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.
