HIGHLIGHTS

Trek to two base camps: Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp (ABC)
Experience a breathtaking 360degree view of the Annapurna Range near the ABC
Spend nights in cozy teahouses and immerse yourself in the local Gurung culture
Discover the major medieval landmarks of the Kathmandu Valley

On this 14-day guided trek, take an expedition to the lap of the stunning Annapurna Range. The Annapurna Sanctuary houses Annapurna I, the 10th highest mountain in the world at elevation of 8,091 metres, and 13 other peaks over 7,000 metres and 16 more over 6,000 metres. The pristine, protected landscape takes you through numerous cascading waterfalls, lush rhododendron forests, quaint villages and moraines to a stunning amphitheatre-esque viewpoint of the Himalayas.

Your journey starts from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Take a tour of its major landmarks (entrance fees not included) before flying to Pokhara where your trek officially begins. Ascend and descend through valleys, terraced fields and stone steps to reach your end destination: the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC).

Autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are the best seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The weather is sunny and warm with outstanding, clear views of the snowcapped mountains. If you wish to avoid crowds and enjoy some alone time in nature, then taking this trip during winter (December to February) could also be an option. However, the temperature during winters are harsh, while there are chances of rain during summer or monsoon seasons (June to August).

This Annapurna Sanctuary Trek is an adventurous trip offering you a complete trekking expedition to the Annapurna region. It’s relatively easy for beginners but rewards you with spectacular views.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about this tour.

How much money do I need to bring with me?

Your personal budget obviously depends on your spending habits and what is included in your trip cost. If accommodation is included, but meals are not, we would suggest that you bring around 30 USD per day per person for meals. Having a hot shower or charging your device sometimes costs extra. There are also sometimes small crafts/souvenirs to buy along the trekking route which you may want to bring extra money for. Also, consider whether you would be staying in Kathmandu or Pokhara before or after your trek.

5 5
How much should my backpack weigh?

A properly packed backpack (not including your day pack) should ideally not weigh more than 13 kg. It is also important to note that if you are taking a flight to the start of your trek, many smaller aircraft have weight restrictions. For example, if you are flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you are only allowed 10kg of checked luggage, and 5 kg of hand baggage. Thus, in case of a small flight, you should ideally pack a 10 kg backpack for checked luggage, and then add 5 kg in your hand baggage. You can then re-shuffel the weigt once you start your trek at the trailhead.
Do I need a porter?

The decision to hire a porter is up to you and usually based on your fitness level and/or budget. One porter can be shared between two people and can carry up to 25 kg. Many trekkers hire a porter to have a more comfortable trek.
Do I require a porter for carrying water?

On most popular treks you can expect plenty of places where you can refill your water bottle, meaning you don’t need to carry a huge water supply with you. Bring an extra bottle of water if you are concerned. If you already have a porter, you can ask him/her to carry water as long as it is within the weight limit. Another option is to carry water purification tablets or LifeStraw, both of which can be found in Kathmandu.

1 1
When should I arrive in Kathmandu before the tour?

We suggest that you arrive at least one day prior to the start day of the trek because the tour operators usually require one working day to arrange trekking permits. Arrive earlier if you want to explore Kathmandu on your own or acclimate to any time differences.
