Annapurna Base Camp trek Reviews

Giving us a sense of freedom and accomplishment
5 - Excellent
  • David Miller
“I have to admit, this trek was really challenging. We faced steep slopes and rough terrain that tested our endurance. But every step we took, fueled by determination and a sense of adventure, was totally worth it. The views we encountered along the way were absolutely breathtaking. As we climbed higher, we saw majestic snow-capped peaks against the clear blue sky, creating a picture-perfect backdrop. The air was crisp and invigorating, giving us a sense of freedom and accomplishment. Despite the muscle soreness that followed, the memories we made and the beauty we witnessed made all the effort completely worthwhile.”
Incredible Annapurna Base Camp
5 - Excellent
  • Holly Blackmore
“We absolutely loved our trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Our entire experience with this local travel specialist — and especially our guide Prakash — was seamless and added so much value to our time in Nepal. If you’re thinking about trekking to ABC with this agency, we’d say go for it!”
Trip of a lifetime
5 - Excellent
  • Anonymous
“This was an experience to remember. It was solely and achievement thanks to our guide Durga! We definitely would not have survived without his help. I would definitely recommend reading up about the trek prior to be fully prepared for what is coming. We specifically chose this package so that we can choose all our meals and drinks, so budget appropriately.”

Mount Annapurna in sight, from Annapurna Base Camp

Annapurna Base Camp lies at a height of 4,230 meters and is where mountaineers start their summit of Annapurna I, the 10th highest peak in the world at 8,091 meters. The ABC trail traverses a variety of terrain ranging from glacier moraine and rice terraces to rocky stone steps and, along the way, offers an amphitheater of huge Himalayan peaks.

In addition to great scenery, the trek takes you through the villages of the ethnic communities of Gurung and Thakali, the latter renowned for their incredibly tasty Dal Bhat, also known as ‘Thakali’ sets. While this trek can be undertaken all year round, it is especially beautiful during spring as rhododendron flowers along the trail turn red, pink and white. The Annapurna Base Camp trek is a classic trail and is recommended for anyone looking for a great trekking experience!
