Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Admire the diverse Himalayan landscape as you hike through remote villages, fairy-tale forests, vast moorlands cut by cascading rivers and the blue-hued peaks of base camp as they glow under starlight!
Experience a magical sunrise over the Annapurna ranges from the spectacular heights of Poon Hill – an early morning hike to this prime spot will be well worth the effort.
Relax and unwind in Pokhara after your trek, choose to cruise along Phewa Tal (Lake) and gaze up at snow-capped mountains or opt for a relaxing massage to rejuvenate those tired legs.
Be accompanied by an experienced trek leader along with assistant guides and porters, who will not only give you all the support and guidance you need along the way, but also introduce you to the rich local Sherpa culture.
Know that you are supporting a company that operates their treks according to standards that provide respectful, safe and fair working conditions not only in Nepal, but on all trips globally.
Is this trip right for you?
There are 10 days of strenuous trekking on this trip. You’ll be trekking up to 8 hours a day and at altitudes over 4000 metres at times, so you need to be aware of altitude sickness. Visit tuuur.com/altitude-sickness for more information.
It’s very important it is to be in excellent fitness and health, which means training in the lead up to your trip in order to be best prepared.
The trekking lodges, known as teahouses, that you stay in on the trek are very simple with only basic facilities. Hot water may not always be available and may cost extra, as will access to electricity points for charging devices. Wifi is available at some locations, but connections may be poor.
What you need to take will vary depending on the season you are trekking in and it’s important to be prepared. See some tips for what to pack here: tuuur.com/adventures/packing-guide-for-trekking-in-nepal
The Annapurna trek is a popular route and you will encounter many other trekkers and groups on your trip during your hike and at the teahouses. If you are after a trek that sees less travellers and spends more time trekking through communities rather than on a more established route, see our Tamang Heritage & Langtang Valley Trek (HNXV).
Due to the nature of outdoor travel, please be aware that this trip will operate on an amended itinerary in high risk weather conditions.

This trip is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to Annapurna Base Camp with Intrepid. The trek is physically and mentally challenging but it is 100% worth every step. Our leader, Prem, and assistant leaders, Padam and Hari, had outstanding knowledge and expertise of the mountains and Nepal’s culture. They were always quick to support members of the group during challenging conditions, while also being an absolute joy to chat with, learn about culture and share the experience of trekking through the mountains. Please support the porters with developing their English speaking skills by chatting and getting to know them. All guides start off as porters! Such a fantastic trip. Just book it!

A beautiful trip, organised perfectly with great people, good food, and even better views. The itinerary’s logistics allowed a very adaptable pace when travelling, and walking. We were lucky with the weather and views from April 19th-May 3rd before the monsoon. Our lead guide Prem was fantastic; always making sure we knew the plan for the day ahead, we always looked forward to our nightly joke or riddle. Prem made sure everyone felt comfortable, included, and safe. Thank you Prem! Our assistant guides Hari and Padam were truly amazing. Hari brought smiles and laughs out of us all, and did a fantastic job leading our group and teaching us Nepali. Padam was very valued, you would always find him beside you at every slippery, icey or steep part of the track, helping and directing you down the safest route. Padam also provided excellent knowledge of the mountains and environment. Thank you Padam and Hari! A huge thanks to our porters Amil, Kul, Ram, and Binod for safely carrying our gear up and down the mountains. Always friendly and helpful, the last night in the mountains we all joined together and had a BBQ, drinks and a dance together which was a perfect way to say thank you and celebrate all of our success. If you’re looking to trek to ABC, I can’t recommend Intrepid, and the mentioned guides and porters enough! Jam Jam!

This was an amazing trip. The views from Annapurna Base camp are totally mind-blowing. The guide (Hari), assistant guides and porters looked after our every need and ensured that everyone succeeded in their goal of reaching base camp.

My trek to Annapurna Base Camp was very challenging for me but I enjoyed every day of it. I particularly liked meeting a new group of fellow trekkers and the fantastic Intrepid staff including the guides and the porters.

This was a fantastic experience, challenging and beautiful in equal measure. Nepal is the most picturesque country with amazing people, and the Himalayas have to be seen once in your lifetime. Highly recommended

An unforgettable experience on the ABC trek thanks to the incredible team—TT, Chundra, and Nandu. TT made us feel safe every step, while Chundra and Nandu brought endless joy, laughter, and insight. Their warmth and knowledge made the trip truly special. I can’t wait to return for the circuit!
