    Useful Info

    • Spring (March, April, and May)

    This is the busiest time of year for ABC Trek due to the clear sky and sunny days. Even while temperatures will often be warm, mornings and evenings at higher elevations may be cool. There is no rain and the sky is mostly clear in Spring Season. The amount of greenery is particularly abundant at this time of year. The national flower of Nepal, the rhododendron, thrives in lower elevations and is particularly gorgeous. Lower-elevation pine trees will be calming and fragrant, while other wildflowers give a range of hues.

    • Autumn (September, October, and November)

    This is another really well-liked time of year for ABC Trekking. Because of the great weather and breathtaking landscape, there will be more hikers on the trails, and lodging will be in high demand.

The lodging in this area is basic yet adequate, with twin-sharing arrangements. You will stay at the best tea houses that are currently accessible throughout your 14-day trekking trip, as guaranteed by the organization. The rooms often come in double occupancy with a hardwood bed, blankets, mattresses, cushions, and connected bathrooms in most of the locations but don’t expect them everywhere. In addition, solitary rooms can be requested and are available in this area, with the exception of Deurali and Annapurna Base Camp. At lower heights, single rooms are easily accessible in Kathmandu and the trekking areas, but it could be challenging to locate them at higher elevations.

    By moving slowly and gradually, anybody can accomplish the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, which is not thought to be a challenging walk. The difficulty of this walk is moderate, and it doesn't require very high levels of physical preparedness. On this excursion, everyone will enjoy strolling around the natural world. This walk might be enjoyable for parents who are taking their kids along.

Before beginning the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, all hikers are required to give Green Valley Nepal Trek a copy of their certificate proving they have full travel insurance.

      Annapurna Base Camp Trek with GVNT Team

      In August 2023, Annapurna Base Camp was fantastic. We had a really simple time communicating with Arjun up front and we learned some useful information. After meeting in Kathmandu to make the payment, we headed to Pokhara with the intention of relaxing there for a few days before beginning the hike to Annapurna Base Camp. Before starting the journey, we met our guide in Pokhara. Our tour guide made all effort to ensure that everything was well-planned! We had a fantastic time at Annapurna Base Camp and would unquestionably suggest wilderness trips and their staff to other tourists in Nepal! Thanks for a fantastic hike!

      Outstanding Trekking Journey in Annapurna Region

      We had a wonderful trek! One of our favorite experiences is this one. I can't say enough wonderful things about Phurbu, our guide, and our porter. In the weeks leading up to the walk, Phurbu was helpful and responsive, assisting us in making sure we had everything we needed.

    FAQs
    • The trip to Annapurna Base Camp lies at a height of 4,130 meters (13,550 feet), making it the highest point of the whole hike.

    • Officially, no fatalities have been linked to the hike to Annapurna Base Camp. However, there have been fatalities in the past as a result of natural disasters like avalanches in the winter and landslides in the monsoon season. There is a part of the ABC path above Deurali where hikers must use extreme caution. Additionally, it is wise to gather information before traveling through the area, which is famously treacherous, particularly during the winter and wet seasons.

    • The entire Annapurna Base Camp hiking is distinctive and diversified, with wildlife and plants including rhododendron woods and lovely terraced paddy fields. The stunning views from Poon Hill, which is 3,210 meters above sea level, Annapurna Base Camp, and the villages of Landruk and Ghandruk make the trip worthwhile.

    • There are three sections where climbers find it a little difficult. The first difficult section of the ABC path is a hike from Ulleri to Ghorepani through stairs. The second challenging part of the trek is a steep ascent from Ghorepani to Poon Hill, which offers stunning 360-degree vistas of the Himalayan peaks, lush valleys, and lovely towns. Between Deurali and Annapurna base camp is the third and most difficult section of the journey since this area is very avalanche susceptible.

    • Electricity is accessible in every teahouse where you'll stay the night while on the Annapurna base camp hike. Paying a little fee, you may use micro-hydropower and solar panels to recharge your phones, cameras, and iPads. Along the hiking route, there are no free hotspots for internet access. Don't anticipate high-speed internet on the isolated trails, while some teahouses do provide paid Wi-Fi services on an hourly basis.

    • The trip to Annapurna Base Camp doesn't require crampons. The only additional equipment you'll require are a pair of sturdy hiking boots and trekking poles for added stability and support. However, depending on how much snow is falling in early spring, in January or February, you could require crampons.

    • The walk to Annapurna Base Camp in the Himalayas is considerably safer than many other high-altitude hikes. The highest height on this journey is 4,130 meters, the physical requirements are not too rigorous, and the paths are not very strenuous. Our devoted crew members, who are local experts with years of expertise, are constantly on the lookout for your safety.

    • One option for getting water is to purchase mineral water bottles from stores located along the paths. Another way to purify tap or stream water before drinking is by bringing reusable water bottles and other types of water purification agents with you. The teahouses and the numerous streams and rivers along the path also offer the opportunity to replenish water bottles. We suggest drinking boiling water when you're at your lodge. Those who insist on exclusively drinking mineral water should be prepared to spend a little bit more money because the cost of bottled water increases as you move higher up.

    • The Annapurna area offers solitary journey options for those who don't prefer to be joined by other hikers. If you trek alone, you can take in all the sights without worrying about getting left behind in a larger group. However, if this is your first trek in Nepal and you do not have sufficient knowledge, we advise hiring a local guide.

    • One of the greatest trekking routes for beginners is unquestionably the Annapurna Base Camp trek. Birethanthi, which is at a height of 1263 meters, is where the trek starts. This elevation is a typical starting point for a trip. You will also arrive to 4,130 meters in a period of nine or ten days, depending on your route. It is a progressive approach, so you won't experience a problem if you achieve this height in 9 or 10 days. This contributes to the moderate difficulty of the walk as well. Additionally, you will be supervised by our knowledgeable trekking leader who has extensive experience hiking in Nepal and the Annapurna region. As a result, he will guide you to your goal cautiously.
