“We had an amazing 7-day Annapurna Base Camp trek and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our guide Chaundra was incredibly kind, professional, and always attentive to our needs. He made us feel safe and welcome every single day, and his knowledge of the mountains and local culture added so much to the journey. We were also very lucky with the weather — clear skies, beautiful views, and perfect trekking conditions throughout the week. Choosing to do this trek in January was a great decision: it was much quieter, less crowded on the trails and at the teahouses, which made the experience even more special and peaceful. I can…”

If you want an excellent care guide we wholeheartedly recommend Mahesh and the guys Bisal and Avinesh. Karolina, Aneta, Ewelina”

“This is an excellent trek and one I would highly recommend. The landscape and scenery is very varied, constantly changing and has a stunning conclusion. The distance each day is easily manageable with lots of refreshment options along the way. The accommodation is varied but more than adequate given the location as was the meal options. Ramesh at Himalayan Nomad Treks has put together an excellent, value for money package and was also quick to respond to any queries we had beforehand. He even met us at our hotel as we left for the trek and again on our return. Our guide, Jeet, has many years experience and knows the…”
You’ll hike from Pokhara to Annapurna Base Camp with a registered English-speaking guide, sleeping in tourist-standard lodges and crossing forests, streams, villages, and the Annapurna Sanctuary. The route returns through Jhinu Dada, where hot springs offer welcome relief.

“It was a mix of amazing, scary and tiring! I wish we had a little longer to enjoy the mountain views and the hikes (5 days was a little intense - wish we did 7). Also going during off season meant the weather was a little worse than hoped for. We ended up having to climb over 4 avalanches to get down, however, Kaji (our guide) helped us throughout!! If you are not comfortable with long hikes or snow/ice do longer than 5 days and wait until the season starts. All that said it was amazing! Most beautiful place I have ever been. Would definitely recommend this company as they…”
Spend seven days hiking from Pokhara through Ghandruk, Chomrong, rhododendron forests, and mountain villages to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130m. A professional guide, tea-house stays, permits, meals, and selected gear are included. Finish with a hot-spring soak at Jhinu Danda before returning to Pokhara.
“If the journey is very beautiful, the summit is magical, the sunrise over Annapurna is crazy, the organization is bad on the part of the agency, which sells you a journey with lots of different villages to sleep in without specifying it’s a round trip! Furthermore, the agency charges a significant amount but you still have to pay for wifi and even drinking water in the guest houses. On the way back, finally came back 2 days earlier because it was faster than expected, the agency didn't even bother to reserve a Jeep like on the way out and forced us to return by a really dangerous bus on the…”
Pick a range, a cone or a valley.
