Unforgettable Annapurna Circuit trek
My partner and I had an amazing time doing the Annapurna Circuit with Prabhat and Nabaraj. Prabhat is an excellent guide - patient, attentive, and always made us feel safe and well looked after. Nabaraj is equally kind, hardworking and helpful. They were both always right by our side and quick to lend a hand whenever we could use one. They both made us feel very safe and cared for the entire time. We were especially impressed by their great attitudes throughout the trek. Even after long days and unexpected weather they always managed to make us smile and laugh. We’re incredibly grateful for the experience and highly recommend them both. We hope to see Nabaraj become a guide soon - we felt he went above and beyond as a porter and he has all the qualities to be a great guide!

Exceptional experience on the Annapurna Circuit
I booked the 14 day Annapurna circuit trek with my partner beginning September 16th 2026. We had Prabhat (Guide) and Nabaraj (porter) This trek was unique due to the fact the weather had caused many landslides making some of the circuit unsafe, however Prabhat made sure we were looked after every second of the way and was cool, calm and collected in every decision he made regarding which route to take, we couldn’t have asked for any better. Nabaraj our porter was also a massive help going above his role and assisting us any time one of us needed a helping hand (while carrying a very heavy bag!!) there were many times he dropped his bag off to come back and help us anytime we needed. He’ll make an exceptional guide one day as he has great natural personable skills. I would highly recommend DWT as i’m sure many of their guides/porters share the same values

Best experience, amazing himalaya views
Fantastic experience! I loved how friendly and helpful both the guides and porters were! The views of the himalaya were spectacular and I wish I could go back. It was an incredible journey and I loved every part of it. So different to anything I have ever done. Thank you Discovery World Trekking!

Annapurna Circuit Trek-Discovery World Trekking
Had a lot of fun with the guides, very friendly people and overall a great experience. With bad weather, the guides still managed to put great inside days together for us including some Nepali card games.

The amazing guides and porters!
What a trip! Discovery World Trekking managed to keep the moral high and give us a really amazing time. I will never forget this, and all the guides and porters were so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake cost?
+
Prices start at $1,900 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 with Tilicho Lake take?
+
Plan for about 384 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 with Tilicho Lake worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 447 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 384-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake?
+
Around 156 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 384-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake 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 with Tilicho Lake?

Not included: All the costs and expenses which are not listed in "cost includes" will be counted as Excl. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 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.

+

+

+
