What people love about Annapurna Base Camp Tours
- Annapurna Base Camp Trek (15 destinations)
Nice group, very friendly guides. Only the second day was little bit boring since trekking was only around 4 hours and we arrived at the teahouse already around 1pm. So there was nothing to do then killing time...
- Annapurna Base Camp Trek (15 destinations)
When I booked this tour, I was apprehensive because it only had 2 more or less bad reviews. But everything was so thoroughly organised and guides and porters had taken good care of us. They even carried an oxygen tank in case someone suffers from altitude sickness (fortunately, no one did). Personally, I would trim off the first day of walking and the last day and a half as those were a bit boring and entailed lots of road walking. From what I heard from before, accommodation improved greatly (expect no luxury of course, everything was basic, but clean). My only issue was with the food, it was written in the notes "vegetarians are well catered for" but didn't say anything for those that are not. So for LCHF people and such, beware, meat is forbidden for 4-5 days of the trek. The pace of walking was very slow (this can be good or bad, depending on personal preference).
- Annapurna Base Camp (Comfort) Trek
We would like to thank WTX team for best arranging our trekking trip to Annapurna Base camp. It was not so excellent weather as mountains were mostly clowdy, but the occational view of mountains from Kathmandu and Pokhara were mesmarizing. We recommend these time for photographers and nature lovers as early monsoon has started in Nepal whcih has made all greenary around. Special thanks to Raj our guide and Prem our driver in Nepal.
Travel Annapurna Base Camp your way
We offer several well-planned Annapurna Base Camp treks that fit different schedules and interests. The full 15-day experience gives you time to really settle in, starting with Kathmandu's temples before heading up into the mountains. If you prefer more creature comforts, our 12-day option uses the nicest teahouses and includes extra rest stops along the way. For those with limited vacation time, the 9-day trek still covers the essentials like catching sunrise at Poon Hill and exploring the Modi River valley. Our local guides really make these trips special - they know all about Gurung village life and can spot wildlife among the rhododendron trees. Many travelers tell us the natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda are perfect for tired legs after a solid day of hiking.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursOur Annapurna tours go beyond regular trekking with some cool extras. One option pairs the classic trek with an Everest scenic flight and helicopter ride to base camp - you get to see these massive peaks from both ground level and high above. Another tour mixes things up with elephant safaris in Chitwan and local Tharu dance shows. After finishing the trek, many of our customers love unwinding at unique spots like the Gokarna Forest Resort where you can get a proper massage. The daily schedule stays flexible too - some groups head out early to catch the best photos while others take it easier with longer village stops.

Discover Annapurna Base Camp tours for every budget
Budget-friendly Annapurna Base Camp treks run 7-8 days and pack in great experiences without breaking the bank. You'll get comfortable teahouse lodging, trail meals and knowledgeable guides who know exactly how to pace the route. The path takes you through bamboo forests, across swaying suspension bridges and up those famous stone steps to Ulleri. Our trekkers often mention how the guides handle the steeper sections really well, knowing when to push and when to ease off. Most tours include a stop at Jhinu Danda's natural hot springs - our customers say soaking those tired muscles makes a real difference after long days on the trail.
Luxury Annapurna trips blend helicopter access with high-end stays and rich cultural touches over 10-14 days. It kicks off with an Everest scenic flight before you hop a helicopter straight to Annapurna Base Camp, giving you those mountain views without the long climb up. You'll rest up at premium spots like Mount Kailash Resort in Pokhara and enjoy private cultural shows. The schedule stays flexible - our travelers appreciate being able to add wildlife watching in Chitwan National Park or extra time at Kathmandu's UNESCO sites. The guides earn lots of praise for their deep local knowledge and skill at tweaking plans to match what guests want to see and do.

You'll still hit all the key spots - watching sunrise at Poon Hill, taking in the views from Machhapuchhre Base Camp and enjoying those soothing hot springs - but at your own speed. Our guests often tell us how their guides adjusted each day's plan around their energy levels and photo stops. The private setup really shines when it comes to meeting locals - guides introduce you to Gurung families and explain village traditions as you go. You can spend extra time exploring places like Ghandruk or lingering at viewpoints without watching the clock.
Top Annapurna Base Camp travel itineraries to fit your plans
Our 7-day Annapurna treks pack the full mountain experience into one focused week. Starting from Pokhara, you'll head straight into the heart of the range and make your way to Base Camp efficiently. The route takes you through bamboo forests that open into wide meadows and finally the raw glacier valley. Our guides set a steady pace - most groups walk 6-7 hours daily, which keeps things moving while leaving time to soak in the views. Many of our customers tell us the hot springs at Jhinu Danda on day 6 are exactly what their muscles need. This shorter format works perfectly for hikers who are fit, focused and ready for consecutive challenging days.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Pokhara, Naya Pul, Birethanti, Annapurna, Chhomrong, Chomrong, Jhinu Danda
Taking 10 days lets you ease into the rhythm of the mountains properly. The journey starts with a drive to Pokhara's lakeside before heading out from Nayapul, where terraced hillsides and small villages dot your path. Our travelers often tell us watching sunrise from Poon Hill becomes their favorite memory - seeing first light hit Dhaulagiri and Annapurna is something special. You'll move at a gentler pace than the 7-day trips, with time built in to explore Gurung villages and connect with local people. The full rest day in Pokhara at the end gives you space to take it all in, which our customers really value.
TourRadar recommends visiting:
Kathmandu, Ghorepani, Annapurna, Chhomrong, Dobhan, Deurali, Jhinu Danda, Pokhara
Our 14-day routes combine solid trekking with real cultural insights and wildlife encounters. After conquering the main trek, you'll spend time in Chitwan National Park where elephant safaris, river trips and rhino spotting in the grasslands add another dimension. The schedule allows proper time in places like Ghandruk village - you can visit the Conservation Museum and learn firsthand about Gurung culture, customs and daily life. Our guides know both the technical mountain details and rich local traditions, something our travelers consistently point out in their feedback. It's perfect for anyone wanting to experience the mountains, culture and wildlife of Nepal without rushing from place to place.

Demographics
The Annapurna Base Camp trek takes 10-12 days and hits all the right notes for people traveling solo. You'll join a small group with guides who really get the social dynamics right - they read the group well and adjust the hiking pace so everyone's comfortable. They carry oxygen tanks too, which gives that extra peace of mind. The teahouses are simple but clean, and dinner time turns into a social affair with other trekkers sharing stories. Our solo travelers often tell us how much they love learning about Gurung culture and village life along the way. That early morning hike up to Poon Hill pays off with an incredible sunrise, and later in the trek, those hot springs at Jhinu Danda are perfect for tired legs.
Couples have solid options for Annapurna Base Camp, with treks running 8-14 days. The routes mix physical challenge with quiet moments together - that sunrise view from Poon Hill is pretty special when shared, and the hot springs at Jhinu Danda make for a nice break after hiking. Our couples really like how the trek balances the hiking with cultural stops, like walking through Gurung villages and chatting with local families. The guides have great instincts about when to let couples have their space and when to step in with support, especially on those tougher sections near base camp. You'll get time in both Kathmandu and Pokhara too - perfect for nice dinners by the lake and exploring temples at your own pace.
Our younger travelers tend to pick the more action-packed Annapurna routes. Several trips kick off with rafting on the Trishuli River before the trek begins - it's a proper adventure right from the start. The trek moves quickly through forests full of rhododendrons and mountain villages, with fantastic photo spots at Poon Hill and Machhapuchhre Base Camp. The teahouses have a fun social vibe that our younger clients love, and those hot springs at Jhinu Danda are perfect after a long day on the trail. Most trips finish up in Pokhara where you can go paragliding, hop on a mountain bike or grab drinks by the lake with your new trekking buddies.

Best time to visit Annapurna Base Camp
- Spring 2025
The trails come alive in spring when rhododendrons paint the hillsides and walking conditions are just right. Our spring treks run anywhere from 8 to 15 days, though most people go for the tried and tested 12-day path through Ghorepani and Poon Hill. You'll find the routes full of energy as people make their way through thick bamboo forests and mountain communities. Our customers often mention how well the guides manage the daily rhythm - keeping a good pace but taking time for flower photos and mountain shots. The highlight for many is joining other trekkers for sunrise on Poon Hill, watching the first rays touch Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and all the Annapurna peaks.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall brings reliable weather and the clearest mountain views of the year. Most people choose our classic autumn route through Ulleri and Ghorepani, taking 10-14 days to reach base camp. The natural hot springs near Jhinu Danda are perfect this time of year - our trekkers love taking a long soak after days on the trail. We usually wrap up fall treks with extra time in Pokhara, giving you space to unwind by the lake and take in what you've achieved. The trails get busy in autumn, but our travelers consistently praise how well the guides handle the crowds while sharing their deep knowledge of local traditions. Looking at the trek options in Nepal, Himalayan Social Journey stands out with their Nepal Tour package that includes both an Everest flight and Annapurna helicopter ride - our travelers particularly like their hotel selections and how smoothly everything runs. If you're considering the classic Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you might want to skip Intrepid Travel's version. While their guides are reliable and the route planning is solid, we've heard from multiple customers about issues with the meal options and questions about whether the price matches what you get. For a really well-executed Annapurna Base Camp experience, both Sherpa Expedition Teams and Uma Holidays consistently deliver excellent treks. Their guides are proper experts who know the routes inside out, keep a close eye on safety and give you lots of interesting local context along the way. What makes these companies work so well is how their guides handle everything from altitude adjustments to weather changes, making sure you can focus on the actual trekking experience. They've got the logistics down to a science but keep things flexible enough to adjust when needed. What's particularly good about Uma Holidays and Sherpa Expedition is how their guides blend technical expertise with genuine care for their trekkers - they're always ready with practical tips, cultural insights and also emergency backup if needed.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter brings a different side to Annapurna Base Camp with fewer people on the trails and sharp, clear views of the peaks. Most visitors join our 10-12 day routes that mix cultural time in Kathmandu with snowy trekking days. People really like starting at Pashupatinath Temple and Bouddhanath Stupa before heading into the mountains. We build in extra weather days during winter and often stay in Gurung villages where you can chat with locals around the warmth of traditional fires. Our guides carry oxygen and additional safety equipment - something our trekkers tell us helps them feel more secure in the winter conditions.
