    Is there an extra fee to travel as a single person? Would accommodation be shared?

    • Active AdventuresOperatorWritten August 2022

      There are no fees for a solo traveller to join us on this departure. As a solo traveller, we'll pair you up with someone of the same gender to share a room with for the duration of the trip. If you would like to guarantee your own room you can purchase this for US$449. When it comes to accommodation on the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, it's a mixed bag. In major centres like Kathmandu and Pokhara, there's the option to have your own room. It's a bit of a different story while out on the trails though, where we stay in tea houses along the way. These tea house are simple, but very comfortable lodgings, with rooms of generally 2 or 3 beds.
