    A trek of a lifetime.

    This is my family’s third time relying on Pasang Sherpa to lead and guide us to amazing views of Nepal. We’ve trekked Annapurna twice and Langtang Valley. We’ve been nothing less than pleased with the service Pasang and his team from planning to trekking to relaxing afterwards. His attention to our different needs and interests was especially notable. My teenage son (who is part mountain goat) was adequately challenged while Pasang ensured my wife and I enjoyed the challenge. He accommodated my perpetual recording of bird calls for my mom. He is well informed about trail conditions and the best tea houses to stay at. His advanced planning, the team he assembled, his trail knowledge and lively conversation enabled us to push well beyond the altitude limits we never dreamed of crossing. We are already planning our fourth trip: Kanchenjunga Circuit. Pasang is a lovely person who treats everyone like their his best friend.

    Amazing experience! Truly a once in a lifetime trip with an expert guide

    My son (16) and I really enjoyed our trip with Pasang and Dorje. Trip guide Pasang is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and did everything he could to make our trip memorable and easy for us. It was very relaxing to have someone knowledgeable arrange the itinerary, lodging, and pretty much everything. I enjoyed chatting with both him and our assistant guide Dorje—they happily answered our questions about Nepal while asking about our lives too. My only regret is that we came for such a short time—we are already planning our return for a longer visit.

    Perfect trip to the mountains, everyone!

    Annapurna View Trek is one of the easiest treks for everyone because its highest point is 3201m above sea level. From the top of Poon Hills, you can see the entire Himalayan range. This trek is perfect for flora and Fanna, local file style, rhododendrons flowers, Himalayan scenery, and sunrise and sunset lovers. This trek fits everyone from the age of 8 to 80. The Annapurna View Trek offers a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts, as it allows them to immerse themselves in the stunning beauty of the Himalayas. Additionally, this trek provides an opportunity to witness the unique cultural practices of the local communities residing in the region.

    Response from the operator: Dear Travle Himalayans, We truly appreciate your kind words and positive feedback. It was a pleasure serving you during your tour in Nepal, and we are delighted to know that you had a wonderful experience. Your satisfaction is our utmost priority, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable trekking adventure in the future.

    Wonderful guides, beautiful views, outstanding adventure

    This was an absolutely amazing trip. Pasang arranged all the details for smooth transport from the airport to my hotel, where he and my guide updated me on additional info for the trek. Transportation and accommodations were all safe and comfortable. Great food at each of our stops. Pasang and Nema are both welcoming, with a great sense of humor, care for safety, and awareness of different levels of support that participants require. This trek is doable with moderate fitness level and some basic training. Pack light! I also brought a water bottle with a built in filter, which made it easy to fill up at the water foundations regularly along the path. Pasang went above and beyond and arranged a quick tour through some of the must see sites and stupas in Kathmandu before I had to get to the airport. I only had a short time to stay in Nepal this trip, but would definitely come back for a longer and more extreme adventure with Pasang and his crew. Cannot thank you enough for making me feel safe and comfortable on this trek!

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your precious review.

    Annapurna View Trek: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Annapurna View Trek cost?

    +

    Prices start at $750 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 View Trek take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 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 View Trek worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 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 last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Annapurna View 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 View Trek suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Annapurna View Trek?

    +

    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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Annapurna View 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 View Trek?

    +

    Included: Kathmandu - Pokhara - Kathmandu, Pokhara – Ulleri and Ghandruk - Pokhara; Professional certificated holder guide from Nepal Government; Accommodation as per itineray; Airport pickups and drops in a private vehicle; and National Park fees. Not included: Excess luggage charges (where applicable); Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); guide and staff tips; and Nepalese visa fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Annapurna View Trek include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 192 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 View Trek offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian and French. 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 View 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 View Trek wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; 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 View Trek if the weather is bad?

    +
