Annapurna Circuit Trek Nov 24 - Exhilarating and Enjoyable Trek - Thanks To Badri & Nawin & Keshav
Me and my wife (Both over 55 yeas) did Annapurna Circuit Trek (Nov 24 for 12 Days) along with sightseeing of Muktinath, Pokhara, Katmandu and Janakpur. Badri Aryal arranged the entire trip. He is extremely professional, trustworthy, friendly and resourceful. All bookings in the hotels, flights, pickups and travel arrangements were excellent and we faced no problems. (It was exactly as we were promised) Also a Upgrade from Bus to Car for our journey from Kathmandu to BesiShahar was a pleasant surprise at No Extra Cost. We were even able to make last minute changes and fine tune our trip by including Janakpur... (Badri is quite flexible too.) Throughout our trek and tour we had a wonderful & knowledgable Guide Nawin (a postgraduate in Maths and a Teacher) and enthusiastic Keshav (person having a wonderful knowledge of Sanskrit and Hindi) as the team who took extremely good care of our well being, food and ensured that we completed the trek without any problems. We had a very enjoyable trek to Thorong La Pass and a very nice visit to all the other places thanks to the efforts of Badri and Our wonderful Trek Guide Nawin and Keshav. One of the highlights was the excellent stay arranged at Resort Hotel Lo Mustang in Mukthinath as also was the trip to Marpha village to pickup some juicy Mustang apples. I would strongly recommend You choose Badri and his Team to ensure you have a Safe, Reliable and Enjoyable experience in NEPAL... Thanks Badri, Nawin and Keshav for making our trip an Unforgettable Experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your incredible experience with us!

Badri Aryal’s dedication to organizing every detail with professionalism and care clearly made a positive impact, and we’re delighted that his flexibility and thoughtful gestures, like upgrading your transportation and accommodating last-minute changes, enhanced your experience. It’s these little touches that reflect our commitment to exceeding expectations. We are especially proud to hear about Nawin and Keshav's exceptional care and expertise throughout your trek. Their knowledge, attentiveness, and enthusiasm are qualities we deeply value, and we’re glad they ensured your comfort and safety during the challenging yet rewarding journey to Thorong La Pass. It’s heartwarming to know you enjoyed highlights like the stay at Resort Hotel Lo Mustang in Muktinath and the visit to Marpha village for its famous Mustang apples—these moments truly capture the magic of Nepal.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Annapurna Circuit Trekking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Annapurna Circuit Trekking cost?
+
Prices start at $2,100 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 Trekking take?
+
Plan for about 504 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 Trekking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Trekking?
+
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 Trekking suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 504-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Annapurna Circuit Trekking?
+
Around 2 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 504-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Annapurna Circuit Trekking 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 Trekking?
+
Included: Salary & Wages of Office Staff; All overnight accommodations while on the trek; all meals & accommodation of office staff; 3 meals during trek; and Travel & rescue fees of office staff. Not included: All Expenses not mentioned above; Lunch and dinner at Kathmandu; International Airfare; and Airport departure tax. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Annapurna Circuit Trekking include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Annapurna Circuit Trekking 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 Trekking?
+
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 Trekking wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: 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 Trekking 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.
What do travelers say about Annapurna Circuit Trekking?
+
Across 6 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, photo opportunities, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
