Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the most pleasing and most tempting 12 days trip available in Nepal. For those unaware, Annapurna I (8091 m) is the tenth highest mountain in the world above sea level. Moreover, the base camp falls inside Annapurna Sanctuary, a high glacial basin lying 40 km directly north of Pokhara. The package is thus tailored for all thrill seeking nomads with a hunger for more. The tour usually begins with a pick up from Kathmandu Airport. Travelers then take a scenic drive to Pokhara the next day. The trek actually begins from day three when you arrive at Birethanti. The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is also known as the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. This oval-shaped plateau sits at an altitude of over 4000 meters . It is surrounded by a ring of mountains, the Annapurna range, most of which are over 7000 meters. However, the only entrance here is a narrow valley between the peaks of Himchuli and Macchapucchre. The Sanctuary was thus not penetrated by outsiders until 1956.

    A wonderful experience trekking the ABC

    I had the best time completing the Annapurna Base Camp trek with my guide Pratip Tamang! He was so attentive and made sure I was having a great time and had everything I needed. His English is very good too. I didn’t have to stress about anything and could just focus on enjoying my amazing experience. The views were beautiful and I think we chose the perfect time for trekking! Not too crowded and the nature was just beginning to blossom. Can highly recommend doing the ABC trek and especially with Cordial Trek and Pratip!

    Response from the operator: Dear Amanda, Namaste and Warm Greetings from Cordial Trek !! Thank you so much for your such wonderful words of recommendation with a five star rating. It really means the world to our team. It was entirely our pleasure to have organized your trip to Annapurna Base Camp. Thank you for appreciating Pratip’s effort as well. Hoping to serve you again in the near future. Thank you again for choosing Cordial Trek. Kind Regards Rameshwar Rijal

    Perfectly organised trek from flights, SUV transport to the trek itself. The cherry on top was our guide Ganesh, who took čáře of us the whole time and knew the answer to every single question we had.

    Poon Hill circuit

    The whole trip went as expected. Coordination with the agency was easy, they planned the SUVs, flight tickets, accomodation and guide, who was on our eyes the best guide we could ever wish for. Very friendly, easy to get along with, knows about every single tree we went around. So 100/100.

    Response from the operator: Dear Miroslav, Namaste and Warm Greetings from Cordial Trek !! Thank you so much for your kind words with a five star rating. It really means a lot to our team.

    Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,175 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour?

    +

    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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour?

    +

    Included: First Aid; Accommodations; PKR-Birethanti-PKR Private Transfers; KTM-PKR-KTM Tourist Coach; and Airport Transfers. Not included: Gratitude for Guide and Porter; Travel Insurance (Compulsory); and Any unspecified meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 908 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour?

    +

    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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour 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 Private 12-Day All Inclusive Guided Annapurna Base Camp Trek Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
