Important Notes

1, Autumn (Sept. to Nov.) and Spring (March to May) are the best (and most popular) seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The weather is sunny and warm with outstanding views…and we mean OUTSTANDING!

If you wish to avoid crowds and enjoy some alone time with nature, then taking this trip during winter (Dec, Jan, and Feb) could also be an option. However, the temperature during winter could be harsh, while during Summer or Monsoon seasons (June to Aug), there will be rain.

Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek has a short, 13-day itinerary compared to most walks in this region leading up to the base camp. The particular route is designed for trekkers who wish to hike to the base camp of the spectacular mountain but are restricted time-wise.

Thanks to the well-groomed itinerary of the Annapurna Base Camp trekking package, it is a very popular choice among diverse outdoor enthusiasts, from solo female travelers to hikers traveling in small and large groups in Nepal.

2, The tour price is not included extra night accommodation in Kathmandu in case of early arrival, late departure, and early return from the mountain (due to any reason) other than the scheduled itinerary.

Travel Insurance: Travel Insurance is compulsory for your trek to commence. Your travel insurance must cover emergency cases (including helicopter rescue and air ambulance) with medical expenses, Covid medical costs, cancellation, loss of luggage, and lost items.

Do I need travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips and must be shown on arrival to your tour leader. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation including helicopter rescue and air ambulance.

We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.

When travelling on a trip, you won’t be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company’s 24-hour emergency contact number has been sighted by your leader.

If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank’s name and credit card details. Please request your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country.
