Other requirements

A strong mental attitude is required for this adventure. Nepal is a third-world country where roads blockages and flight cancellations are common. Be mentally prepared to adapt and overcome the challenges that comes your way.

About the weather

For trekking to Annapurna Base Camp, the best months are in spring (Mar–May) and autumn (Sep–Nov):

Spring (Mar–May):

Mild temperatures of 12–20°C in the lower regions and -3–5°C at Base Camp. Rhododendrons and other alpine flowers are in bloom, with generally clear mornings and occasional afternoon clouds.

Autumn (Sep–Nov):

Clear, dry, and stable weather with 10–20°C at lower elevations and -5–5°C near Base Camp. Excellent mountain views and comfortable trekking conditions, with minimal rain.

How does accommodation & rooming work?

By default, solo travelers are matched with same-gender roommates. If you're traveling with friends, you can choose to room together. Private rooms are sometimes available at an additional fee at checkout.

Trip confirmation & minimum participants

Most trips require a minimum of 4 and cap at 20 participants. Booking early helps the trip reach confirmation faster — and you'll enjoy our early bird discount.

Is flight included?

Flights are not included, giving you flexibility to book your own. We recommend booking after your trip is confirmed. Once you've booked, we'll send you a detailed trip pamphlet with recommended flight options and more details about your trip.

Cancellation & refund policy

Cancel before the deadline shown at checkout and receive a full refund in credits. If we cancel the trip due to insufficient participants, you'll receive a full cash refund.

Physical level

There are really just two things that make the trek tough. First, you will be trekking 5-6 hours a day for at least 12 days.

Second, is the effect of altitude. By the time you reach base camp you will have lost almost 50% of the oxygen in the air and this makes any exertion tough. It is important, if you are going to cope with this loss of oxygen, that you train before you arrive for your trek. Once you are there, it is important to take things slow and adapt to the altitude properly by respecting the acclimatisation days.

Can I arrive anytime?

Yes! We offer pickups at any time on the first day. However, our recommendation is to arrive by 5 pm so that you may enjoy the welcome dinner.

Private transfer to and from airport is included in this trip.

If you plan on arriving a day before the trip, you may reach out to our support to help you book your hotel stay.

We'll spend a few hours going uphill, passing some shepherd huts without roofs on the side of a moraine. This area can be windy and often covered with snow.
