Useful Info

Annapurna Base Camp Trek difficulty

With a bit of patience and determination to complete the trek, we believe anyone can do Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Of course, it's a trek in the Himalayas, and the route is bound to involve difficulties, but the challenges Annapurna Base Camp Trekking offers are manageable.
With our experienced on-field crew, one can smoothly complete the Annapurna Base Camp Trek 14 Days. Previous trekking experience is not mandatory for this trek, however, you have to be able to walk 5 to 6 hours on a daily basis. The terrain is rugged and steep at some places. There will be many ascents & descents throughout the trek.
You will be traversing at a high altitude and in a remote area, so there are other underlying challenges like inadequate services, disconnection with the modern cities, limited food menu, etc. So, the trek also demands you to be mentally ready for remote survival. Things will not be super tough but not convenient as well.
If you are a new trekker, then take your time to prepare for the trek. Increase your walking hours with a bag. You can hike or do other activities like cycling, swimming, and running to increase your stamina. Focus on your cardio and core body strength. Make your legs strong.
 

Acclimatization and Altitude Sickness

Acclimatizing your body with the rise in elevation is very important if you do not want to suffer from altitude sickness. Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek package 2022 has a steady increase in elevation every day. It offers ample time for your body to adjust to the environment.
Altitude sickness is also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS). It usually happens during the high-altitude journey or if the body sees a sudden elevation change. You have to be aware and careful of it because in the worst case, you may have to return without completing the trek or air evacuate to a nearby hospital.
 
Symptoms of altitude sickness
  • dizziness
  • loss of appetite and insomnia
  • difficulty in breathing
  • nausea and vomiting
  • headache
Our trekking guides are very experienced, license holders, and have certificates for first-aid, rock climbing, etc. During the Annapurna Base Camp trek, our guide will keep in check the health condition of every trekker in the group.
The safety of our clients is the topmost priority for us. Therefore, we have a series of protocols we follow during the trek to monitor every step of the group on the trail. Be assured you will be guided by professionals.
 
Preventive measures of altitude sickness:
  • If you see early symptoms of altitude sickness, then drop down to lower elevation. Spend some time there to relieve the symptoms. Depending upon your situation, the team leader will decide whether you can trek further or not. You are requested to follow his orders as he is responsible for your and the group's safety.
  • Check our itinerary and make sure there is a constant increase in elevation during the trek. Ask the trekking agency if acclimatization days are needed or not, and join an ideal itinerary that will serve your body.
  • Do not drink alcoholic drinks or smoke during the trek. It will dehydrate your body and increase the risk of AMS. Keep yourself hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids and water.
  • Maintain a balanced diet. Fill yourself with the best possible meal option.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Solo/Private/Group

You can do Annapurna Base Camp Trek solo, but we do not recommend trekking alone in the Himalayas even to experienced trekkers. What we can offer close to a solo trek is a private Annapurna Base Camp Trek. You can depart as per your time availability and make an itinerary as per your wish. You will trek with a professional guide and porter. They will introduce locals and villages to you, offer you great insight into the region, and help you mingle with the natives.
Similarly, you can also join one of our departure dates to ABC. Trekking in a group with people from all around the world offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You will get to know new people and possibly make travel buddies. Or, if you have your group, then trek with them, and we will give you full support during the trek.
Feel free to contact us anytime if you want to have a private trek or group trek with us.
 

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Best Time

There are two perfect seasons to go on Annapurna Base Camp Trekking, spring and autumn. Trekking in the off-season like winter and monsoon/summer only increases the difficulty level of the trek and involves furthermore risks like landslides and avalanches. Therefore, choosing the right time of the year to trek Annapurna Base Camp is crucial for a pleasant experience.
Trekkers usually prefer spring and autumn to trek in the Annapurna region. These two seasons offer a great view, stable weather, and moderate climate. You can see many fellow trekkers on the route too.
 
Spring (March to April) and Autumn (October to November)
Spring and autumn is the season of mountain lovers. Hundreds of travelers explore the Himalayas in these seasons and a large number of trekkers visit Annapurna Base Camp. The temperature ranges from 10°C to 0°C. The daytime is warmer in comparison to night and morning.
Trekking in spring lets you enjoy a range of flora on the way. The trail gets covered with teeming flowers and lush green forests. The sky is clear and bright with fantastic views.
The mild crisp wind and festive vibe of autumn make trekking soothing. Thanks to the gone monsoon season, the air is fresh and the region is vibrant and colorful.
 
Winter (November to February)
Annapurna Base Camp Trek in winter is strenuous but possible. Trekking in winter has its own perks. The views are probably the best. Heavy snowfall covers the mountains and the route. The trail has this winter fairytale kind of vibe. It's so beautiful.
However, beauty comes at a cost. You have to experience extreme col. The temperature drops below -10°C. And there are high chances of the trail getting blocked because of snowfall. You will need strong crew support and guidance. Not many people trek in the winter season, therefore you will have the entire nature to you.

An Amazing Trip with Amazing People

I was part of a group from New Zealand called Got To Get Out who attempted EBC and Island Peak in January 2020.
We were taken care of from the start by Dipendra and our amazing guides Shankar, Kumar, Jagat, Buddhi, and our mountain guides. This was my second time to EBC with Scenic Nepal Treks and with Shankar as a guide, he is a very positive, smiling guy who will take care of you and even make you smile and laugh when you’re feeling terrible from the altitude.

Although we didn’t make it up to the top of Island Peak because of the weather, we had an amazing time with incredible views and felt very safe in the hands of the team guiding us (one of our mountain guides, Tashi, have been up to the top of Everest 10 times!!) They taught us how to ice climb which we take with us as a very good experience for the next attempt to climb a mountain! They really went the extra mile for us to make sure we were okay at all times and gave us a hand when we got tired.

Thank you Scenic Nepal Treks for an excellent trip, see you soon again!

Cheers Josefine

I have a great Journey with Scenic Nepal Treks

This trip had been 4 years in the making. had actually gotten to know Rajan and Dipendra through a friend's friend recommendation.

I can only say that they are so patient with me over the years (yes years!) in the multiple failed attempts that I had to get myself to Nepal.
Well, this year, it finally came true and with the trusty hands of Dipendra and my absolutely wonderful guide KK, I had the most amazing trip of my life! Dipendra made sure that anything and everything will go well, from the airport pick-ups to the hotel accommodation to the arrangements to be made during the trek. He was able and very willing to help me with my numerous changes along the way and I knew that all I needed was to ask and he will help me fulfill my requests.

And then there is KK, my super guide. Right from day 1, he gave me the assurance and the feeling that I will be very well taken care of and he definitely did. Way above my expectations. When I just mentioned to him that I think I need a porter halfway while trekking, he found me one in 30 minutes! How amazing was that! KK always made sure that he's either walking beside me or behind me to make sure that I am ok all the way, even if I was slow, he very patiently waited for me.

And then there's the trek. The most amazing country, landscapes, and people. I've run out of words to explain but this is definitely a must-do for all travelers and of all ages.

Thank you Scenic Nepal. Especially Dipendra, KK, and Rajan. You guys are amazing!

They will certainly not let you down

Nepal is well known as a paradise for Hikers, a pilgrimage in a lifetime is the dream of everyone who loves hiking. Nepal is not only beautiful, it is also a place of world culture (hundreds of years old building architecture and temples) and natural heritage (Mt Everest). The trekking routes and the scenery shocking each of us during our EBC (Everest Base Camp) trek.
The scenery on the snowy mountain is really not what I can describe. Only If you experience it yourself, so you can truly understand the shock and beauty.
For every few hours trekking on the mountain, there is a village. These villages have guesthouses/teahouses that provided food and drinks. Want to have some snacks, western bread or a good cup of coffee, it is not difficult to find in some places such as Namche.
We have worry-free to get connected with the outside world as almost the teahouse provide us WiFi with a reasonable charge.

Thanks to our agent Mr. Dipendra from Scenic Nepal Treks. who is very kind to bring us to shop around & introduced the good food and good place for chill out so as to show us the way to every tourist spot in Kathmandu.
Also thank you so much to Mr. Kumar, our guide, he observed our physical condition all the way up to EBC and gave due counseling. Thanks, Kumar for his caring, especially from Lobuche to Gorekshep. When my mountain sickness occurred, my feet were unable to move. He patiently led me to Gorekshep, which is more than 5,000 meters. Not forgetting our porters too, they can easily carry a full load of 30 kilograms duffel bags following us through the journey. They also helped our guide, Mr. Kumar, to pay attention to our situation at times.

Anyone who wants to realize their Nepal trekking dream, I strongly recommend Scenic Nepal Treks, look for Mr. Dipendra, he will certainly not let you down.

Unique experience with very kind and professional guides!

we (2 girls) had the most amazing time during our trek! having both spent some time in the alps, it was our first time in Nepal and we were stunned by the beauty of the nature and atmosphere. The trek was very well organized and we felt safe and taken care of all the time, as Kumar and the other guides did everything to make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Dipendra, the owner, takes care of every detail - even beyond the tour itself and we were impressed by his kindness and professional attitude.

truly an experience to remember - highly recommended!

One of the Most Rewarding Experience of My Life

I recently did the 14 day Everest base camp trek in July 2018 with my friend. Everything ran super smooth from the moment we were picked up from the airport to when it was time to say our goodbyes. Our guide was Rajan who spoke English really well and understood everything we asked of him. He was compassionate and knowledgeable as well as friendly. Our Porter was KK, he was always smiling even though we were certain our bags were no light load and his English was exceptional also. Finally, Dipendra organized not only our EBC trek but also organized a 6-day motorbike tour for us after our trek at a great price.

As far as the trek was concerned all I can say is this is a MUST DO bucket list item. The food was authentic and plentiful, the scenery was beautiful and constantly changing and the accommodation was comfortable and cozy. I have found my new favorite country!

One of my best Vacation, Everest Base Camp Trek

 had the pleasure of being a part of an Everest Base Camp expedition with Scenic Nepal!

Right from the moment, we landed in Kathmandu, Scenic Nepal was there to meet us and make sure everything was smooth.

Kumar, Shankar, and Jagat were the best guides we could have asked for! Their professionalism, knowledge, and experience were second to none! They were all so supportive and helpful throughout the entire trip, especially when times got tough!

I would highly recommend trekking with Scenic Nepal and look forward to going back to Nepal in the future!

The Right Fit, SG

Good trek! Our guides were knowledgeable & helpful. Rajan knew what I needed when I felt under the weather.

Furthermore, Dipen was polite and prompt in responding to our queries. I especially appreciated him coming to Singapore to brief us about the trek & answer questions we had before we embarked on our journey to Nepal.
