    Overview And Highlights

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek is one of Nepal’s most popular and rewarding Himalayan journeys. The route combines rich culture, dramatic landscapes, and close-up views of some of the world’s most iconic peaks. Whether you’re searching for a short adventure, planning an 8 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek, or looking for the best Annapurna Base Camp Trek itinerary, this trail offers an unforgettable mountain experience for trekkers of all levels.

    Why Choose the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

    The trek to Annapurna Base Camp takes you deep into the natural amphitheater of the Annapurna Sanctuary, surrounded by towering Himalayan giants like Annapurna I, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), and Annapurna South. Unlike Everest, which requires domestic flights and longer acclimatization, the ABC Trek Nepal is more accessible and perfect for those with limited time. Most trekkers complete the journey in just 7–9 days, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced hikers.

    Ideal for First-Time Trekkers

    If you’re new to trekking in Nepal, the Annapurna Base Camp hike is one of the safest and most achievable high-altitude adventures. The maximum elevation—4,130 meters at Annapurna Base Camp—is high enough to give breathtaking views while keeping altitude risks manageable. The gradual ascent and well-marked ABC trekking route make it a comfortable introduction to Himalayan trekking.

    The journey starts with a scenic drive from Pokhara, which is appealing for travelers who want to avoid flights to remote mountain airports. This makes the Annapurna Base Camp Trek in Nepal both budget-friendly and accessible.

    Short Trek, Big Experience

    The 8 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek is designed for trekkers who want to experience the Annapurna region’s best highlights in a short timeframe. You’ll walk through terraced fields, rhododendron forests, suspension bridges, and high alpine basins as you ascend steadily toward the base camp. Charming villages like Ghandruk, Chhomrong, Sinuwa, and Bamboo offer cultural warmth and insights into local Gurung lifestyles.

    Even within a limited schedule, the ABC Trek itinerary includes all major viewpoints and scenic stops, making it one of the most complete short treks in Nepal.

    Trek Highlights

    • Reach Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 m)—one of the world’s most iconic mountain viewpoints
    • Walk through bamboo forests, alpine valleys, and lush rhododendron trails
    • Enjoy panoramic views of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna South, and Gangapurna
    • Relax in natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda
    • Experience traditional Gurung culture in charming Himalayan villages
    • Stay in warm, comfortable tea houses along the Annapurna Base Camp trail

    Best Time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    The best seasons to trek Annapurna Base Camp are:

    • Spring (March–May): Flowering trails, warm weather, and stable skies
    • Autumn (September–November): Clear views, cool temperatures, and ideal trekking conditions

    Winter treks (December–February) are possible for those who can handle cold weather and snow-covered paths. Monsoon (June–August) is less favored due to heavy rain and slippery terrain.

    Accommodation and Meals

    Along the Annapurna Base Camp trekking route, you’ll stay in local tea houses offering simple, cozy rooms and wholesome meals. The most common dishes are dal bhat, noodles, fried rice, momo, pancakes, and soups. Hot showers, charging facilities, and Wi-Fi are available in many tea houses, often for a small fee.

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek vs. Everest Base Camp Trek

    Many trekkers compare Everest Base Camp (EBC) and Annapurna Base Camp (ABC). ABC is often preferred by those who want a shorter trek with fewer logistical challenges. Here are some differences:

    • No need for a flight to Lukla—ABC begins with a drive from Pokhara
    • Can be completed in just 7–9 days
    • Lower altitude—reduced risk of altitude sickness
    • More diverse landscapes in a compact distance
    • More affordable compared to Everest region treks

    How to Reach Annapurna Base Camp

    The trekking route to Annapurna Base Camp generally begins in Pokhara, Nepal’s adventure capital. Most travelers travel from Kathmandu to Pokhara either by tourist bus (6–7 hours) or private vehicle. If time is limited, a 25–30 minute flight is a faster option.

    • By Road: Kathmandu → Pokhara → Kande (trek start)
    • By Flight: Kathmandu → Pokhara → short drive to Kande

    From Kande, the hike begins toward Australian Camp before continuing through forest trails and traditional villages. The trail gradually climbs toward Deurali, Machhapuchhre Base Camp (MBC), and finally Annapurna Base Camp.

    Who Can Do the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

    The ABC Trek Nepal is suitable for all age groups and fitness levels. First-time trekkers, families, and travelers with moderate fitness can complete this route comfortably. Since the ascent is gradual and the trail is well-maintained, the trek is accessible to anyone who can walk 5–6 hours per day.

    • Perfect for beginners
    • Ideal for short-duration travelers
    • Less demanding than Everest Base Camp Trek

    Frequently Asked Questions for Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    General Information

    The 8 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a short, scenic, and moderately challenging Himalayan trekking route that takes trekkers deep into the heart of the Annapurna Sanctuary. It offers magnificent views of Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and Gangapurna. This shorter version of the ABC trek is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want a full Himalayan experience. The trek combines beautiful forests, terraced villages, waterfalls, and panoramic mountain views in a compact itinerary.
     

    The 8 Days Annapurna Base Camp Trek difficulty is rated as moderate. You don’t need technical climbing skills, but you should be comfortable walking 5–7 hours per day on ascending and descending trails. Anyone with basic fitness can complete this trek, especially with proper acclimatization and a steady pace. Peace Nepal Treks provides experienced guides who help you walk safely and comfortably.

    The total Annapurna Base Camp Trek distance covered in 8 days is approximately 70–80 km, depending on the route taken (usually via Chhomrong, Bamboo, Deurali, ABC, and back to Jhinu or Ghandruk). The path involves uphill stone steps, forest trails, suspension bridges, and scenic river paths.

    The highest point of the trek is Annapurna Base Camp (4,130 meters). Trekkers spend a night at Machhapuchhre Base Camp (3,700m) or ABC depending on weather. The altitude is manageable compared to higher Himalayan treks, but you still need to trek slowly and maintain proper hydration.

    The best time for Annapurna Base Camp Trek is during:

    Spring (March–May) – warm weather, blooming rhododendrons, superb mountain visibility

    Autumn (September–December) – clear skies, stable weather, bright Himalayan views

    Winter (Jan–Feb) is cold but possible, while monsoon (June–August) is rainy with leeches and slippery trails.

    Accommodation on the ABC trek consists of clean, comfortable tea houses run by local communities. Rooms are usually basic twin-sharing with warm blankets. Higher altitudes have simpler facilities. Peace Nepal Treks provides the best available tea houses on each stop to ensure comfort, cleanliness, and good service during your trek.

    Tea houses on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek offer a variety of meals such as Dal Bhat, noodles, pasta, momo, fried rice, potato dishes, soups, pancakes, eggs, porridge, bread, and tea/coffee. Meals are hygienic and made fresh. Nepali Dal Bhat is the best option for strength, energy, and good digestion at altitude.

    While it is possible to trek independently, having a licensed guide from Peace Nepal Treks ensures safety, altitude management, correct route navigation, cultural understanding, and assistance in case of emergencies. Guides also arrange rooms, meals, and timing to make your trek stress-free.

    Hiring a porter is highly recommended. A porter carries up to 20–25 kg, allowing you to trek comfortably with a lightweight daypack. This reduces fatigue, prevents injuries, and helps you enjoy the trek more. Peace Nepal Treks provides insured, experienced porters.

    You need two permits for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek:

    Altitude sickness is possible but usually manageable because the route allows gradual ascent. Staying hydrated, walking slowly, and avoiding alcohol reduces risk. Peace Nepal Treks’ guides monitor your health and take preventive measures. In case of emergency, evacuation can be arranged.

    You will typically walk 5–7 hours per day depending on the trail and altitude. Some days may require more uphill climbing (especially towards Chhomrong and Deurali). Peace Nepal Treks designs the timing to balance rest and trek duration.

    Accommodation at ABC is basic but comfortable, with shared dining halls and twin-sharing rooms. Rooms are simple due to high altitude, and heating is only available in the dining area.

    Yes, charging facilities are available at most tea houses for an extra fee. Carrying a power bank is highly recommended.

    Yes, travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking up to 4,500m is recommended. It should also include emergency evacuation and medical coverage.

    Regular walking, jogging, stair climbing, and moderate cardio exercise 2–3 weeks before your trek helps greatly. Building leg strength makes uphill and downhill trekking easier.

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek - A Lifetime Experience with Peace Nepal Treks

    Our Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Peace Nepal Treks was truly one of the most beautiful and unforgettable adventures of our lives. We were first-time trekkers, traveling with two other friends, and from the very beginning to the end, everything was perfectly organized and handled with great care.

    The ABC trekking route is incredibly scenic, passing through lush forests, traditional Gurung villages, terraced farmland, and stunning river valleys. Following the well-marked Annapurna Base Camp trail, each day brought new landscapes and breathtaking mountain views. Our guide explained the Annapurna Base Camp trek itinerary clearly, helping us understand the walking hours, rest days, and gradual altitude gain, which made the trek comfortable even for beginners.

    Reaching Annapurna Base Camp and standing at the Annapurna Base Camp trek elevation was an emotional moment for all of us. Surrounded by Annapurna I, Machhapuchhre, Hiunchuli, and other giant peaks, the view was simply magical. The trekking pace and Annapurna Base Camp trek time were well managed, allowing us to enjoy the journey without feeling rushed or exhausted.

    Our guide was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about the mountains, culture, and safety. He constantly checked our health and motivation, which gave us great confidence as first-time trekkers. The porter was equally amazing-strong, kind, and always smiling-making our trek much easier and more enjoyable. Thanks to them, the entire journey felt safe, relaxed, and well supported.

    We also appreciated how Peace Nepal Treks shared information about the Annapurna Base Camp trek map, alternative routes, and even explained differences between the classic trail, north Annapurna Base Camp trek, and popular options like Annapurna Base Camp trek Indiahikes style itineraries. This showed their deep knowledge and professional planning.

    From accommodation to meals, permits, and daily logistics, everything was smoothly arranged. We never had to worry about anything except enjoying the mountains. This trek was not just a holiday-it was a life-changing experience that inspired us deeply.

    This is definitely not our last trek in Nepal. We are already planning to come back for another Himalayan adventure, and without any doubt, we will choose Peace Nepal Treks again.

    Thank you so much to Peace Nepal Treks, our wonderful guide, and our hardworking porter for organizing such a beautiful and memorable Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Highly recommended for beginners and experienced trekkers alike! - ?

    An Extraordinary Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek - A Heartfelt Thank You to Peace Nepal Treks

    What an absolutely amazing experience the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek turned out to be! This journey was challenging, adventurous, and involved long hours of travel through some of the most remote regions of Nepal-but every step, every valley, and every mountain pass made it completely worth it. The Kanchenjunga region feels untouched, raw, and incredibly authentic. It is one of the few places where the true spirit of the Nepalese highlands remains preserved, and being able to experience it firsthand was a privilege we will never forget.

    The landscapes were nothing short of spectacular-from lush forests and terraced hillsides to dramatic cliffs, high alpine terrain, and the towering glaciers leading toward Kanchenjunga Base Camp. Every day offered a new kind of beauty, making this trek one of the most unforgettable Himalayan adventures we have ever had.

    We are deeply grateful to Peace Nepal Treks for organizing everything with such care and professionalism. A very special thanks to Nir Lama, whose warm guidance, meticulous planning, and constant communication made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu to the final day of the trek, Nir made sure every detail-from transportation and permits to accommodation and coordination-was handled perfectly. His support gave us complete confidence throughout this remote and challenging adventure.

    Our guide and porter team were truly exceptional. Their kindness, patience, mountain knowledge, and nonstop encouragement made a huge difference during the tougher sections of the trek. They were incredibly efficient, always attentive to our safety and comfort, and full of positive energy. Even in the high, isolated areas of Kanchenjunga, they made us feel supported every moment. Their companionship, humor, and dedication added so much joy to the journey.

    The service we received-friendly, professional, and organized with heart-made the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek an unforgettable, life-enriching experience. We return home with memories we will treasure forever, and with immense gratitude for the people who made it possible.

    We-ll truly never forget this incredible adventure, and we can recommend Peace Nepal Treks with all our heart. If you want a remote, authentic, breathtaking Himalayan journey, the Kanchenjunga Base Camp Trek with Nir and his team is the perfect choice.

    Unforgettable Annapurna Base Camp Trek - A Heartfelt Thank You to Peace Nepal Treks

    My journey to the Annapurna Base Camp Trek was truly one of the most memorable adventures of my life. Everything was exceptionally well planned, professionally arranged, and thoughtfully organized from the very beginning. Peace Nepal Treks took care of every detail, allowing me to fully enjoy the beauty of the Himalayas without any worries or stress.

    From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu, I felt the warmth of Nepali hospitality. Nir and his team welcomed me with kindness and made me feel completely at home, even though I was thousands of miles away from my own. Their support, communication, and attention to detail were beyond anything I expected.

    Throughout the trek, every step toward Annapurna Base Camp felt magical. The breathtaking landscapes, peaceful villages, friendly locals, and stunning sunrise views over Annapurna and Machapuchare created memories that I will treasure forever. What made the journey even more special was how well the Peace Nepal Treks team cared for me-always checking in, always guiding, always encouraging.

    This trek was not just a travel experience; it was a dream come true. I am deeply thankful to Nir and the entire team for making my Annapurna Base Camp adventure safe, comfortable, and unforgettable. Their professionalism, honesty, and genuine care make them one of the best trekking companies in Nepal.

    I highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks to anyone planning the Annapurna Base Camp Trek or any other Himalayan journey. I cannot wait to return to Nepal and trek with them again.

    Excellent service, Friendly people

    I like them the moment I stepped out of the airport (KTM). They never made me feel like a foreigner. The guys were so friendly and they were able to communicate very well. They were also able to share many of their experience with you! I could say I really enjoyed my stay and it was one of the most wonderful experiences I had with them!

    Clare J  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 08, 2023

    Flawless service provided by Peace Nepal, and an unforgettable experience!

    We can not express how fantastic they were at catering to us, we had wanted to explore Nepal after friends of ours could not stop raving about it and recommend we went through Peace Nepal. We are so happy we listened - it was the trip of a lifetime and will be hard to beat! We spent a couple of nights in Kathmandu where they took us round all the main sited, did the flight over Everest before heading off to Lake Pokhara to go paragliding, paddle out across the most magnificent lake you have seen with amazing views all around, and then headed off on a 10-day trek up to Annapurna Base Camp stopping by Ghorepani - iy was INCREDIBLE and Bil our guide was just brilliant. if you get the chance to choose your guide - ask for Bil he is just the BEST and will do everything he can to help you enjoy yourselves!! we also went off to a national park to spot some tigers and rhinos for a few days which was also an amazing time! then they took us off to a monastery before farewelling us off to India, which we were in no rush after the time spent in Nepal we wish we had stayed longer!! If you can I would spend no less than 3 weeks exploring Nepal. the people are just so beautiful and the place gives you endless opportunities to grow learn and explore! it is with many thanks to Peace Nepal Treks for organizing our whole stay in Nepal!

    Special personal experience with Peace Nepal Treks

    I know Peace Nepal Treks (boss Nir Bahadur Lama and several of his guides and porters) from working together during social work building a school in Nir''s hometown Pakuwal/ Tulo Parsel Kavre, and since then we are friends. Nir knows how to get things done and does that with all of his heart and mind. Together we did several trekkings into the Himalayas. With all, he is the one you should contact when you plan to go to Nepal! Peace Nepal makes your trip worthy!

    Annapurna sanctuary trek

    I think Nepal is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen during my travels. Especially the Himalayas are so breathtaking. I've stayed in Nepal for a month with a friend. Nir from Peace Nepal Treks arranged our hotel upon arrival in Kathmandu, the next day flight to Pokhara, and a wonderful guide and porter (my dear Shambhu and Tirta) for the 10day Annapurna Sanctuary trek. Everything is tailor-made to our wishes. He even invited us to his home to have dinner with his family. Thank you nir.

    After the devastating earthquake tourists avoid Nepal. This I understand but to help the beautiful people in Nepal they actually need you to visit.

    In the past years the Annapurna Sanctuary trek and other popular treks were overpopulated by tourists (the only negative thing I could say about Nepal) so please visit this magical place enjoy the quietness of the treks and help the Nepali people get back on their feet.

    Amazing Nepal Experience

    As part of a university study tour last year we did a trek with Nir and his team at Peace Nepal Treks. The 5 days we spent trekking was incredible, with amazing views, awesome overnight camping spots, and really interesting stops at temples and other places of interest. We also had the privilege of staying in Nir's local village and helping to paint the primary school there. It really was an unforgettable experience, and the thing that made it most special was Nir and his team. They went above and beyond, both on the tour and on return to Kathmandu where we stayed for three weeks. Nir helped organize activities, day trips, and a flight over Everest during our stay.
    I can't recommend anyone more highly.
    Don't go with a big tour company to Nepal, the locals rely on your tourism to survive, especially after the devastating earthquake. I'm very well informed that it is safe to travel now in Nepal, so don't hesitate, to book your trip with Peace Nepal Treks. Give back to the locals and you'll be greatly rewarded!

    Flexible itinerary

    Nir and the team made sure we felt right at home from touchdown. As I arrived later in the evening, Nir took my friend (who arrived earlier) around Thamel to see the sights. Our guides Bil and Bipin were the most amazing and accommodating hosts too. Originally we had planned to hike to Poon Hill in Pokhara but whilst on the trek, decided to extend our trip by a whim to do the Annapurna Base Camp trek. It only took about 15 mins of negotiating logistics, timing, and pricing and we were set :) Throughout the nine days of trekking, Bil and Bipin made sure we were comfortable with the paces. They also knew how and when to be firm with our speed. Bil is also a very knowledgeable guide and was able to point out the different peaks in the distance and rattle off interesting historical facts here and there.

    Annapurna Base Camp

    My first solo trip to the land of mountains, Nepal! A well-spent 13 days trekking and shopping and relaxing and just an alone time with a panoramic view.... I recommend everyone to try it at least once! And the place to be is definitely Nepal!! Book your tour with Peace Nepal Trek for a flexible and affordable holiday... They're great! No kidding..

    AnnieT92  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 06, 2023

    The most wonderful place with the best organizer!

    It was a breeze planning for the Nepal trip with Peace Nepal Trek! Mr. Nir was such a wonderful boss! He is more than willing to go the extra mile to make us feel at home! Nepal feels like home because of him and his strong team of guides and porters! I will definitely be back again, and will absolutely choose them over and over again!

    ABC Trek

    We had an amazing time trekking up to Annapurna Base Camp this winter (27th Dec 2015-8th January 2016).

    Blessed with great weather bathed in glorious sunshine in the cool to freezing temperatures, our trip was made special by the awesome organistion, planning and management of the hike by everyone at Peace Nepal Treks - from
    Mr Nir Lama at HQ, to
    Mr Bil Lama our patient and helpful guide, to
    Mr Asal Lama our strong and reliable porter.

    We highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks for all future Nepal trips!

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    I had a great experience with Nir and his team. I got in touch with Nir over the Internet and he carefully replied to all my questions. Once in Nepal, they arranged a great itinerary for me! I was a bit short on time, so I had only 4.5 days to get up to ABC and back (which made the trek quite intense), but Prem - my guide - made sure to make it possible. I felt a little sick at ABC since we didn't really spend time to acclimatize but Prem took good care of me;-)

    I would definitely work with Peace Nepal Treks again!

    Zoe R  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 06, 2023

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    Peace Nepal Treks did a fantastic job in taking care of our group, getting us to and from ABC safely, and making sure we had a comfortable stay in Pokhara, Chitwan National Park, and Kathmandu. Prem was a fantastic guide who stayed with us throughout our two weeks in Nepal and became a close friend of all of us. Big thank you to Nir and crew for being a home away from home, I 100% recommend it.

    Dean T  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 06, 2023

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek & Chitwan National Park 2016

    NIr and his team at Peace Nepal Treks did a wonderful job in looking after our group in November/December 2016. He looked after everything including guides, porters, accommodation, transfers etc. I would highly recommend using Peace Nepal Treks when visiting Nepal as they took away all the stress that comes with traveling in a third-world country.

    Timothy I  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 06, 2023

    Trekking in Nepal? Look no further

    Nir and the crew at Peace Nepal Treks are some of the most honest, genuine, and helpful people you will ever meet. I was lucky enough to spend November 2016 in Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Bhaktapur, Namo-Buddha, and Thulo Parsel concluding with trekking Annapurna Base Camp and visiting Pokhara and Chitwan National Park.
    Peace Nepal Treks made sure everything was taken care of, allowing me to enjoy everything Nepal has to offer without worry or concern.

    Peace Nepal Treks' guides are experienced and passionate, they clearly pride themselves on creating an unforgettable travel experience for their clients!

    Annapurna Base Camp Review

    The most amazing experience of my life! Everything was so well organized and we were looked after and cared for so well. I'll miss Nir and his team so much! Definitely choose Peace Nepal Treks if you're planning to go!!

    Annapurna Base Camp trek

    Being highly recommended by one of our friends, me and my friends decided to engage Peace Nepal Treks for our Annapurna Base Camp trek in Nov 2016. Nir and his team at Peace Nepal indeed live up to their reputation. Email responses were quite fast and Nir is able to customize our trip to meet our preferences.

    Our guide Shambhu and porters Nima, and Klapa were also one of the most passionate, playful, and reliable people we've met on our trip. Every single day on the trail was filled with fun and laughter. Shambhu himself is a very experienced guide and apart from bringing us through the trail safely and comfortably, he has good knowledge of the area, trail difficulty, and rest houses. He is also extremely humorous and very passionate about sharing his local culture with us and gave us a very memorable experience in the mountains

    As far as I understand Peace Nepal also does other tours in Nepal. Highly recommended so do check them out if you are looking for a reliable and stress-free way of visiting Nepal

    Annapurna Base Camp with this Amazing Trekking Company Dec 2016

    Sorry, this is a long post. This is my second trek in Nepal. I did an Everest Base Camp trip in Dec 2015 with another tour company. I was ok with it. So this time, I tried Peace Nepal Trek. My friend got a flyer through her email and forwarded it to me. She hadn't used this company but after corresponding with the ever-patient Nir for several months, I decided to try it. I was so impressed with their service.

    My Annapurna Base Camp trek begin in early December and lasted a shorter amount of time than I had booked. Only because one of my trekking partners was not able to complete the second section. More on that later.

    Great Manager/Owner: From the first correspondence I had with Nir to my last meeting with him at the hotel right before departure, he was warm, kind, extremely accommodating, and professional. So on a personal basis, I was sold. He is a very community-minded individual. He has partnered up with organizations to build a school and has plans for building an orphanage for those children who lost their parents in the earthquake, and also a senior citizens home. If this is your interest, please contact him to see how you can help.

    Value for your money: I didn't do that many comparisons shopping as I was sold on Nir from my first email and the reviews on TripAdvisor were outstanding. Before I received his name, I had looked into a few other trekking companies. While they were good, some were controversial, the pricing was a bit more than I wanted to pay. What I liked about this package is that I ended up paying for the food myself. On my previous Everest trek, the food was included. I felt I had more control over my expenses with the option of paying for my own food.

    Guide/Porters: Last year, my guide was competent, unfriendly, and a bit chauvinistic. (I trekked with my daughter. This time, I trekked with my two female friends). I cut my guide some slack last year as he lost a few family members in the earthquake. I still gave him a generous tip because he got me to EBC and back in a safe manner. His personality was not the reason why I was trekking. The porter was very friendly.

    My guide this year, Bil, the porters, Asal, AJay (not the way it's spelled but the way we pronounced it), and Raj were OUTSTANDING. They were friendly, kind, funny, and very responsible. Bil went beyond the call of duty. All 3 of us had different trekking speeds. Very difficult to herd the 3 of us. One was very fast, one was in the middle, and the last was very slow.

    Bil stayed with the 3rd trekker the entire time. Singing to her, chanting, pointing out different sites, keeping up her spirits, and just being a great companion. He had to overnight with her in another village because she was too tired to meet at the planned village. Another time, he hired a horse for her so she could meet up with us. Once, he ran up to MBC (from pretty far away) just as we were leaving because Trekker 3 forgot to pack her gloves and hat that was in the main backpack. He carried her pack and sleeping bag (in case she had to overnight without us). The porters were fabulous too. One injured his knee and had to retreat, meaning the other porter had to carry everything. We only brought essentials so the porter would have 1 backpack to carry for all 3 of us. He never complained, was still happy, and most of all, he gladly assumed the role of guide for trekkers one and two. The 3rd porter met us on the way down when we had collected all our packs. He was great too.

    Flexibility: Peace Nepal Trek is extremely flexible. I wanted to add Poon Hill, the hot springs, and ABC all in one 10-day trek. Nir worked out a very nice package for us. Although once we started trekking, it was apparent that we wouldn't be able to accomplish the Poon Hill portion. We were told we were barely going to make it up to ABC. On the way down from ABC, again, it was apparent that the trek was taking its toll on one of the trekkers. Bil completed and modified the trek for us. We took out the maps, and he started giving us options. He felt bad for the 2 trekkers and was willing to split us up so that 2 of the 3 could continue on to Poon Hill. At that point, we decided it was better for all of us to head back to Pokhara.

    Lodgings: The lodgings that were selected were great. In general, they were clean. The food was tasty. After talking to my daughter, and other trekkers, they said that of the choices that we had for lodgings, they picked the best ones.

    The trek: if you ask the 3 of us what we thought of the trek - one would say "easier, and not as cold as she thought", one would say "harder than expected. Trekking EBC was easier (just the altitude was difficult on EBC) but warmer, and more chances for showers", the 3rd would say "harder, and would never do it again".
    From my perspective, the trek was harder than EBC because of the up and down, or as they call it "Nepal Flat". There were many stairs and uphill on rocky paths. The downhills were also a bit tough on the knees.

    Lodgings: all had squat toilets, and only 1 had a western toilet. Most of the tea houses had the ability to take a hot shower (fee), and most had the ability to charge their electronics (fee). Wifi was available only lower down (fee). There were heaters for 150 rupees per person. We never splurged for it. We brought our sleeping bags inside the dining room.

    I would highly recommend Peace Nepal Trek for its kind professionalism, knowing that a portion of your fees is helping others and the value of the package.

    Amazing experience!

    Peace Nepal Treks is an awesome company. In December, I did the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Peace Nepal and the staff/guides/porters were incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. Also due to the honesty of the company, the tours and treks are very affordable. Furthermore, the managing director, Nir, will organize anything for you and always with a smile. If you are thinking of trekking, sightseeing, or simply need some advice about what to do in the country, I highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks!

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek - 7 days

    We did the Annapurna Base Camp trek with Peace Nepal Treks and found NIr and his team excellent. Our team of guides was friendly, helpful, and informative. My daughter lost her camera at ABC and NIr's team assisted with reporting to the police on our return to Kathmandu, taking the stress out of the situation and clearly not part of their normal tour obligations. A very friendly, helpful, and honest group to deal with and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to tour this region.

    yueying wong  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 06, 2023

    Thank you to Nir and his team for the wonderful experience in the Himalayan mountains! From the airport pick-up to the trek and back, we were all well taken care of by guides Bil and Asal, and the cute and strong porters they have arranged for us.
    7 days Annapurna base camp

    Communication with Nir was smooth and excellent. The team is very flexible and accommodating and went all out to accede to our requests.

    In the mountains, Bil and his team took care of everything for us! They made sure we get our food, drinks, beds, and all queries answered. They were always smiley and supportive. We are really appreciative of the kind of great service we get from them.

    We will definitely recommend the team. We know that we r not the easiest people to work with, and that is why we r absolutely thankful that we didn't pick the wrong company.

    We will go back to Nepal again. Till then!

    A Perfect ABC Trek For A First Time Trekker

    After thorough research, I found Nir and Peace Nepal and had them arrange my trek for ABC.
    From prompt replies that helped with all my queries; from which trek was the most suitable for me to which were the best dates for my travel, Nir was always very diligent. The hotel arranged in Kathmandu was very good and everything was explained to me in detail before I began the journey to Pokhara for the Annapurna Base Camp trek the next day.
    My guide, Dupsang, soon became a wonderful friend as well and made the whole trek easier and delightful by taking the best decisions and ensuring that the trek went smoothly and was enjoyable every day.
    Peace Nepal Treks is brilliant and I will definitely be going back to them for my next trek!

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek .!

    Nir Lama makes a trip to Nepal easy and hassle-free. Nothing is too much trouble and nothing is a problem.
    From early and easy communication to plan and arrange the trip and advice on where to go, to making sure you had the right equipment for the trek, all was dealt with smoothly and professionally.

    Our guide and porter for the trip were lovely and very helpful. The pace was set to the level to suit us and all was smoothly organised.
    I would recommend this company strongly to others.

    Wonderful Experience Trekking ABC

    Myself and three friends trekked ABC at the end of November last year. It was an experience I will never forget, the scenery, hospitality, and awesome organization from Nir and his guides/porters made this trek such a great experience. I would highly recommend Peace Nepal and Nir to anyone who wants to trek in Nepal :)

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    I and my cousin are two females in our twenties and traveled to Nepal for the first time in May 2018. We had booked our trek to Annapurna Basecamp with Peace Nepal Treks a month prior to our arrival. Nir and our guide Bil could not have made our trip any better. From the time we landed in Kathmandu to our departure two weeks later, Peace Nepal Treks took care of us the entire trip. They assisted in organizing our transportation, gave recommendations on accommodation, and even took us to dinner our first and last night. During the actual trek, our guide was flexible with the itinerary and was helpful during the entire trip. I would highly recommend booking with this company and hope one day to come back to Nepal and complete another trek!

    ChenWK  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Aug 06, 2023

    Great Experience and Effort by Peace Nepal Treks Team

    We traveled as a group of 6 to Annapurna Base Camp in early November 2018. Nir was very attentive from the very beginning and ensured that the program suits our requirements. We were picked up at the KTM Airport and sent to the hotel, before taking the bus to Pokhara the next morning to start our hike.

    Total 8 days of the hike, Australian Base Camp - Jhinu - Sinuwa - Deurali - ABC - Bamboo - Ghurjung - Ghandruk, then Jeep back to Pokhara. Our guide Bill, and the three porters were attentive throughout the trip to ensure we were well taken care of. They served our meals and fruits after each meal. They were very friendly.

    The only downside was the travel back from Pokhara to Kathmandu after our hike. We were not provided with physical tickets, and since it was after the Diwali festival, buses were fully booked and some of us had to sit in front next to the driver cramped with 4 other people. Quite uncomfortable for a 10 hours bus ride. Be sure to request from Nir or your guide for a physical ticket WITH assigned seatings when traveling by bus. To be fair, it may be due to the peak/holiday season and it was difficult to get seats.

    However, the overall journey was excellent and Nir and the team definitely provided personalized touches and great attention to detail to ensure you have a great trip.

    ABC Trek - had the best time!

    I recently came back from a trek to ABC with Peace Nepal Treks (late November- December 2018) and absolutely loved it! It was a private 8-day guided trek for 6 students.

    Nir and his team made the experience stress-free and effortless - they organized literally everything including accommodation, food, and transport - we didn't have to think about a thing. In the weeks leading up to our trek, they were swift in replying to emails (we had a lot of questions as it was everyone's first time trekking), gave us an itinerary well in advance so we could prepare, and were flexible with our requests.

    Nir waited for us at the airport (our flight was late but he still waited) and went above and beyond to make us comfortable in Kathmandu - he took us around to find ATMs, suggested good places to eat, and even organized to repair one of our broken suitcases. He was easy to contact and very reliable.

    We were introduced to our guide Dupsang in Kathmandu and traveled with him and 2 porters to Pokhara to start the trek. Dupsang was a very knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy guide. He was flexible with our requests and spoke great English. He always checked in with us and made sure the last trekker was encouraged and that we stuck together as a group. Toward the end of the trek one of our group members became injured and plans needed to be changed, which he promptly arranged without any drama.

    We were very well looked after and cared for by Nir and his team! I would highly recommend Peace Nepal Treks and I look forward to organizing another trek with them in the future :) Thanks, Nir and team for the amazing experience

    Amazing ABC Trek

    I recently came back from the ABC trek with Peace Nepal Treks. It's indeed a wonderful & memorable trek! My friend & I have enjoyed it very much!

    Nir is very responsive and always prompt in replying to all my email and WhatsApp inquiries. He is also attentive to all our request even last minutes request like down jackets & sleeping bag for the trek! We are very appreciative that he also arranged for our guide Bil to pick us up at the airport late at night (waiting at least 2hrs outside the airport on a cold night) and meet us at the guesthouse in Kathmandu on arrival. In next day early morning, Nir meet us in the guesthouse and ensure we bring enough warm clothes before sending us off (together with Bil) to Pokhara. We meet our porter Raj (a kind & strong man) on the day we start the trek.

    We were lucky enough to have Bil as our guide for the ABC trek! He is such a kind, honest & caring guide. No doubt he is a very experienced & knowledgeable guide and we 100% trust him! He's like our brother who always ensure we were well fed (serve meals & fruits daily) and taken care of (safety & healthy). I sincerely thank Bil for his positive encouragement (YAK heart & dun give up) and help throughout the trek! We both definitely miss you much!

    I would highly recommended Peace Nepal Treks to everyone who's planning a trip to Nepal! Thanks, Nir & Bil, for the amazing experience & precious memories!

    My first time in Nepal was 2,5 weeks of trekking, rafting, and visiting monasteries where no tourists come.
    Nir and his man took such good care of us, so helpful, and caring about us. Dana is a great cook !!
    They are so professional and know their country very well.

    Thanks to all of you for a fantastic 2,5 weeks taking care of us in such a great, loving, and caring Nepalese way!

    If you are looking for the best trekking company in Nepal ....you have found it with PEACE NEPAL TREKS.

    Thank you Nir, Dana, and Dawa !!

    Amazing Team to Ensure a Fun Experience

    This is our second time engaging Peace Nepal Trek's services, the first in Nov 2018 for the Annapurna Base Camp trial, and this time round a six day hike to Langtang Valley.

    We came with a group of seven people, Nir greeted us at the airport and sent us to the hotel before discussing our trek over lunch with our guide. The next morning we took the bus to SyabruBesi to start our trek. Our guide, Prem, was quiet at first but slowly warmed up and was great to be with.

    Along the hike, he provided us with Water Purifying Tablets and Altitude Sickness Pills. Anytime our members don-t feel too well, Prem made sure they are attended to immediately.

    On the fifth day, one of our participants injured his leg during the hike and Prem was especially thoughtful. He allowed him to rest while the rest of the group continued, and assigned one porter to look after all his needs. After the hike, we returned to Kathmandu on the private jeep, and the next day Nir picked us up from the hotel back to the airport.

    Overall, we are very thankful to have engaged the Peace Nepal Treks team. They have been very attentive to our needs. Prem, our guide is also very experienced (16 years) and hence it was very reassuring to have him with us. Even though we have been with Peace Nepal Trek on a previous trip, they still managed to exceed our expectations every day with small yet unexpected gestures. You can see that they really put in a lot of effort to ensure that we will have a good trip.

    Incredible trip!

    Had such an amazing trip with this company. Could not fault a single thing! Nir greeted us with the utmost professionalism and closely followed us through the whole trip to ensure all our needs were met. Our guide Dupsang was very warm and friendly. He also made sure that we were always comfortable and getting the most out of our trip. Would highly recommend this company. Will definitely be returning!

    7-Day Trek to Annapurna Base Camp

    After much comparison between different providers, in a highly competitive market, I can say our group made the right decision in choosing Peace Nepal Treks.

    Nir was very responsive and successfully customized a 7-day trek to ABC accommodating our schedule.

    The team accompanying us on the trek provided warm and incredible service. Bil is an experienced and knowledgeable guide; our porter, affectionately nicknamed "Mr. Dal Bhat," was helpful and professional. We felt safe and looked after well throughout our time.

    Thank you Peace Trek Nepal, you provided us with an incredible experience! We hope to see you again soon!

    Incredible experience on the Trek to ABC

    Easily the best experience of my travels to date!
    Nir was very helpful in organizing a solo trek to Annapurna Base Camp with one of his guides. As a female traveler, I was a little nervous about how the experience would go, but I was immediately put at ease and couldn't have been more comfortable due to the friendliness and capabilities of Nir and my guide Kama Gawa.

    I had an incredible 6-day trek up to Annapurna Base Camp and was able to take the route as quickly (or slowly) as I liked, planning out each day with the Kama the night before, or deciding whilst on the trail. It was great to not have any time constraints, and be able to go with the flow and make the trip as spontaneous as I liked. It was also made extra special by the Kama, who was once a Buddhist monk, and the friendship we formed, as he was able to give me a fantastic insight into the lives of Nepali people.

    If you're looking to trek in Nepal, Peace Nepal Treks are the way to go - I will definitely be coming back!

    8 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    My friend and I did the 8 days ABC trek with Peace Nepal Treks. Prior to the trek, Nir answered all our queries via email and also arranged for airport pickups and hotel pickups. During the trek, our guide (Bil) was an experienced and friendly guide who looked after us during the trek and managed all the bookings of the tea houses along the trek which made our trek worry-free. Our porter (Jo) was also very friendly and professional.

    Overall, Peace Nepal Treks is a great company to trek with and we will definitely be trekking with them again if we decide to go for more treks in Nepal :)

    Memorable 8 days Annapurna Base Camp Trek

    This is our first time in Nepal and what better way to start the adventure of an 8-day Annapurna Base Camp hike with Peace Nepal Treks. As a team of 6 people arriving in Kathmandu, we were greeted by Nir Lama at the airport patiently waiting for us and had already organized transportation and accommodation. We were brief on the routes and were introduced to our 3 porters (Dawar, Bipin, and Manil) and guide (Prem) who were an amazing bunch of people during the entire trek who checked up on us if were doing okay or if we needed to stop and pause for a breather. I can safely say the trip we experienced with Peace Nepal Treks was worry-free. Nir Lama was very responsive, flexible, and attentive to our requests. Very pleased with the entire experience.

    Bryan Wong  •  Kathmandu, Nepal  •  Jul 21, 2022

    Nir lama was always very responsive to our many requests and questions about our ABC trek. upon arrival, he personally received the 6 of us at the airport and made sure we were comfortable with our stays at Kathmandu for the night. During the trek, we had Prem our wonderful and experienced guide who was quiet at first but warmed up after a while. He made sure that all of us arrived at our teahouse safely each night. Our porters Dawar, Monil, and Bipin were wonderful as well - not only were they carrying heavy loads of ours, they were the "guides" for the members of the groups who walked ahead of the team. They were kind and selfless in their responsibilities making the trip a very memorable one. I would not hesitate to pick PNT again for our next trek to Nepal!

    ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP TREK

    Firstly for feedback on Maila and Asha. We absolutely have no complain about the two of them. They were great guides and good host. Both of them took very good care of us and we could not be any happier to have them as our guides. Maila even helped us to get a lower price when we were out shopping for our stuff and presents. So please do help us to say thank you to Maila and Asha.

     

    Secondly. What you can help your customer is to let them know a list of equipment and clothes that they can get at Nepal with a price range.

     

    Example, 

    Down jacket (USD 30-50)

    Trekking Pants (Less than USD 10)

     

    Third. It would be great if you can include battery bank for your smartphones/ tablets as part of the list of items that you would recommend them to bring since electricity is not stable in the tea house. 

     

    Fourth. To value add your service. You can also include the following notes to your customers as they are preparing for their trip.

     

    1) Application of Visa would be upon arrival at KTM airport. For 15 days Visa, 30 days Visa and 90 days Visa, the cost would be USD 25, USD40 and USD 100 respectively. Please have a passport photo and a pen ready with you when you touch down as you would need them when applying for your Visa. Alternatively you can have your Visa photo taken at the airport but do bear in mind they only accept Nepal Rupees. 

     

    2) We would encourage you to change for Nepal Rupees at Kathmandu as the rates are better. Also, bigger notes would allow you to get better rates. In another words, changing USD100 notes to Nepal Rupees as compared to changing USD 20 notes would give you a better rate.
