Annapurna base camp trek distance and trail condition (difficulty)

The Annapurna base camp trek is approximately 110-120 kilometers (68-75 miles) long, depending on the specific route taken. The trek usually takes about 7-14 days to complete, depending on the trekker's pace and itinerary. Our Annapurna base camp trek itinerary is 10 days long. It is designed to offer you a unique perspective on this famous trek as we follow a different route. 

The trail conditions can vary depending on the time of year and weather conditions. During the peak trekking season from September to November and March to May, the trail conditions are generally good, with dry and clear weather. The Annapurna base camp trail is well-marked and well-maintained, with tea houses and lodges, along the way for food and accommodation.

However, during the monsoon season from June to August, the trail becomes muddy and slippery. There may be leeches and landslides. Likewise, during the winter months, from December to February, there may be snow and ice on the trail, making it more challenging.

With a peak altitude of 4,130 meters at Annapurna Base Camp and a gradual increase in elevation in the days leading up to it, there is little risk of altitude-related issues. So, keep yourself hydrated, have good food, and get plenty of sleep every day to maintain your energy and avoid altitude sickness. 

Overall, the Annapurna base camp trekking is considered a moderate-level trek, suitable for those with good health and fitness. The trail winds through dense rhododendron forests, over glacier rivers and waterfalls, and offers incredible views of sheer cliffs with rivers running far below.

    Useful Information

    Annapurna base camp cost

    The cost of the Annapurna base camp trek can vary depending on several factors, such as the season, duration of the trek, mode of transportation, accommodation options, and the services you are getting in the package. On average, the Annapurna base camp trek cost can range from $900 to $1500 per person, excluding international airfare and travel insurance.

    If you are looking to do something more adventurous and thrilling during the Annapurna base camp trekking, you can combine a helicopter flight with the itinerary. We can arrange a helicopter flight from almost any part of the ABC trek route. For more information, we kindly request you to talk to our consultants. 

    Annapurna base camp trek without a guide

    Trekking to Annapurna base camp without a guide is not possible because you can no longer obtain the TIMS card on your own from April 1st, 2023. Solo trekking in the Annapurna region and all parts of the Himalayas has been banned by the government of Nepal to reduce the accidents that have happened over the last few years among solo trekkers.

    Now if you wish to trek alone, you can opt for our private Annapurna base camp trek service. This private trek will let you do the trek with a guide and a porter. There will be no one else in the group. This is what you get close to solo trekking in Nepal for now. 

    Annapurna base camp trek accommodation 

    Accommodations in the Annapurna region are simple but convenient. During trekking, trekkers will be staying at the best available tea houses, which will be ensured by our team. The rooms usually come in double occupancy with a wooden bed, blankets, mattresses, pillows, and attached bathrooms. 

    Do understand that not all tea houses provide attached bathrooms and single rooms. In addition, single rooms are made available upon request except for two places- Himalaya and Annapurna Base Camp. Inform us in advance if you require a single room to ensure its availability.

    Meals on the Annapurna base camp trek route

    During the trek, you will be provided with three meals a day, which will be served as per the package program. Any personal expenses, such as additional meals, drinks, or items purchased along the trek, will be at an extra cost. There is a wide range of food and drink options available on the Annapurna base camp trek route. 

    For breakfast, you'll have a variety of options to choose from Tibetan bread, chapati with cheese, oatmeal, French toast with jam, honey, and peanut butter, corn flakes, eggs, pancakes, porridge with milk, muesli, vegetable items, and any kind of hot drinks except espresso and Americano.

    *Note: If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, do let us know, so that we can ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. 

    Best time to do Annapurna base camp trekking

    The trekking season in Nepal is largely determined by the summer monsoon. The monsoon season typically lasts from June to August, making it the least popular time to trek to the Himalayas. Instead, most visitors choose to hike during the spring months of March to May or the autumn months of September to November.

    During spring and autumn, you can expect a comfortable temperature and clear mountain views, making it the best time of year to enjoy the Annapurna base camp trekking. However, it's worth noting that you can do the ABC trek at any time of year. The snow-laden trails of winter are just as mesmerizing as the mist-shrouded hillsides of summer.

    Regardless of when you choose to travel, A1 Excursion is committed to providing you with a trekking adventure that exceeds your expectations. Our experienced guides and support team will ensure you have a safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable experience in the beautiful Annapurna region of Nepal.

    Things you should know before joining the Annapurna base camp trek

    • Travel insurance: For any traveler visiting Nepal for trekking, having travel insurance is not only important but also mandatory for safety reasons. In the event of an emergency, travel insurance can provide crucial assistance and coverage for expenses such as emergency helicopter rescue, medical evacuations, and personal injury.

    • Luggage: We will provide you with a safe space to store any additional luggage in Kathmandu while you trek. During the trek, each trekker has a 10 kg weight limit for a duffel bag and a 5 kg weight limit for a backpack. You will carry the day pack, whereas the duffel bags are carried by our porters. 

    • Travel Visa: While most travelers will require a visa to enter Nepal, the process of obtaining one is relatively easy. Chinese and Indian tourists are exempt from this requirement, but all other travelers will need to obtain a visa to enter Nepal. You can get an on-arrival visa at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu upon your arrival. In terms of visa fees, tourists will need to pay around 40 USD for a 30-day tourist visa to enter Nepal. Keep in mind that visa regulations can change, so it's always best to check with your local embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information.

    • Currency & ATM: During the Annapurna base camp trek, you will primarily be dealing with Nepalese currency, which is the Nepalese rupee (NPR). Carry cash in small denominations as larger notes can be difficult to change. There are ATMs available in Kathmandu and Pokhara, but none along the trekking route. You will need additional money for personal expenses during the trek. 

    • Charging and Internet: Access to electricity and charging facilities can be limited along the route. Most tea houses and lodges will have charging points available for a fee, which can range from NPR 100-500, depending on the location. Internet access is also available at some lodges for a small fee, but the quality and reliability of the connection may vary. We recommend carrying a power bank and spare batteries to ensure your devices stay charged.

    • Personal Expenses: As a general guideline, we recommend that our clients hold around USD 5 to 10 per day for personal expenses on the trek. This amount can be used for laundry, phone calls, charging electronic devices, or purchasing drinks or snacks along the way. However, this amount can vary depending on personal preferences and spending habits. It is important to note that the cost of the trek package does not cover any additional expenses outside of what is specified in the package. So, be sure to budget accordingly and have some extra cash on hand for any unexpected expenses that may arise during the trek.

    • Tips: Tipping is not mandatory in Nepal, but it is a common practice to tip guides, porters, and other support staff. If you are satisfied with their services, it is customary to give a small amount as a token of appreciation. The amount can vary depending on the length of the trek & the size of the group.
