    • Do I need special travel insurance for trekking in Nepal?

      Yes. Our company only covers insurance for our team members. We recommend you buy a travel insurance in your country. Make sure your travel insurance covers adventure activities over a certain altitude (4000 m) and covers emergency medical as well as helicopter rescue and evacuation.

      Most importantly, if you are trekking in the mountainous region of Nepal, then you should plan ahead about possible challenges, especially altitude sickness, ill related health issues, accidents, flight delays etc. In such cases, the only possible way out of the mountains is helicopter rescue. So, we recommend you to have a travel insurance policy that covers the helicopter evacuation cost and medical services in hospitals while trekking in Nepal.

    • Do I need any extra documents?

      All you need is a copy of your travel insurance, a copy of your passport and 2 passport size photos while travelling in Nepal. You are required to bring photos for trek permits.

    Preparation and Fitness level

      If you are moderately fit or do physical exercise on a regular basis, then Annapurna Base Camp Trek will be easier for you. Also, this trek is suitable for people of all ages who don't have prior trekking/hiking experience. However, we suggest you to get into some fitness activities like running, swimming, hiking to enhance your stamina and endurance for the trek. On the other hand, people with preexisting medical conditions are advised to consult with a doctor before you embark on the trek. Otherwise, some discomfort may appear due to medication or hiking along the journey. To prepare for ABC trek, you should start fitness training prior to two or three months before the trek commences. Going to the gym or an hour of aerobic exercise three to four times a week will help you develop physical and mental strength required for the trek. Also, we suggest you do short hiking or get into bushwalking that includes steep ascent and descent in the trail. If you do this training, you can comfortably trek in the Himalayan trails and get the most alive experience out of this journey.

    Annapurna Base Camp Trek Difficulty

    • How difficult is Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

      It’s all relative. Moreover, it depends on your preparation and fitness levels. If you frequently hike long distances, do regular exercises or backpacking, then Annapurna Base Camp Trek may not be so difficult. On the other side, if you are not used to trekking, any outdoor activities or physical exercises, then you will find this trek difficult. This means Annapurna Base Camp Trek is achievable for most people if you are really obsessed about accomplishing it and you are maintaining a good level of physical fitness.

    • Are there any age limits for Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

      There's no age limit for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The ABC trek is suitable for people of all ages with good physical and mental wealth. For children below 16 or elderly people, we recommend you to come with families, friends and groups or schedule a private trek with a few extra days for convenience.

    Accommodation and Communication

    • What kind of Hotel can I expect in Kathmandu and Pokhara?

      We use three star hotel accommodation in Kathmandu and Pokhara. You will be accommodated in a standard room on twin sharing basis for 2 nights each in Kathmandu and Pokhara, including breakfast during your stay. Furthermore, if you need to stay extra nights in the hotel or transfer to a 4 or 5 star hotel, we can arrange you for an additional cost.

    • What sort of accommodation conveniences is available during the Annapurna Base Camp trek?

      We provide twin sharing three-star hotel accommodations in Kathmandu (2 nights) and Pokhara (2 nights) along with breakfast. Similarly, if you need a single room accommodation, it can be made available to you in payment of extra charges. Along the trekking routes, the accommodation conveniences at lodges/guesthouses would remain very basic. In general, it consists of double/twin sharing room or dormitory rooms including mattress and a quilt or blanket. Furthermore, you can rent Ace the Himalaya sleeping bags and down jackets, if needed, on a returnable basis. Please note that in case of loss or damage, you need to reimburse the cost of the same. Generally, local families managed the tea houses. Sometimes, dining at tea houses will be around a bonfire.

    • Will there be a place to store items/clothing not required for the trek?

      The hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara provides free locker facility. So, you can place all the luggage/clothing items you don’t require in the hotel during the trek.

    • Are the guesthouses heated?

      The guesthouses are not enabled with the heater or air conditioner in all trekking regions. However, most guesthouses provide bonfires or heating facilities in the dining area using kerosene or metal heaters. Also, note that some guesthouses charge an additional cost for the heating services.

    • Is camping allowed in the trek?

      No. There is no need for camping as we can find many tea houses for food and lodging in the trek.

    • Is there a possibility of getting separate rooms during the ABC trek? If so how much extra will this cost?

      Although Annapurna region is a popular tourist destination, the single supplement cannot be guaranteed earlier due to overflow of trekkers in peak season. Again, when there is a decline number of guests, the tea houses can easily provide a private room without any additional cost. In particular, the accommodation during the trek will remain very basic with twin sharing basis. On the other side, we can assure separate room in Kathmandu and Pokhara for an additional cost.

    • What type of toilet/bathroom facilities are available in the teahouses/guesthouses?

      You can find western style flushing toilets as well as adjacent squat toilets in the teahouses/guesthouses. Mostly, the bathrooms are not attached to the individual rooms and are shared.

    • Where do we go toilet along the trail?

      You can use the toilet facilities provided by guest houses along the trail. Otherwise, if you arrive in places without guesthouses or public toilet in those regions during the trek, then you need to find some privacy and experience outdoor toilet adventure.

    • Do I need to bring toilet paper for the trek?

      We suggest you to bring toilet paper, hand sanitizer and a towel for your convenience. In addition, you can buy toilet paper on the guesthouses in the Annapurna region.

    • Are hot showers/wash facilities available during the ABC Trek?

      Well, most guest houses provide proper running showers in lower altitude regions. At higher elevation such as Machhapuchhre Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp, the water gets frozen most of the time. So, you can get bucket showers at a price USD 2- USD 4 each bucket for the showers.(In general, one bucket is enough to shower for a single person).

    • Are there any laundry services available during Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

      Yes, tea houses provide laundry services for payment of additional cost. But, we suggest you pack enough clothes and wash them after the trek for your convenience.

    • Can I charge my electronic gadgets during the trek?

      Yes. There are tea houses and lodges that provide charging facility for electronic gadgets upon paying extra fee.

      Note: The power plugs and sockets used in Nepal are type C, D and M. The standard voltage and frequency of electricity in Nepal is 230 V and 50 Hz respectively. This means if your electronic appliances state ‘INPUT: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you can used to recharge in every country all over the world. Otherwise, make sure you bring universal travel adapter that is compatible for all kinds of devices in the trek.

    • Is there any means of communication and Internet access while trekking to Annapurna Base Camp?

      Yes, there are telephones services and 3- G coverage in all villages of Annapurna region. Also, our trekking guide have cell phone from which you can make an International call. Most villages in Annapurna Base Camp trek route has been equipped with internet access and telephone services. We highly recommend you to buy a local sim card, Ncell, in Kathmandu and use it for communication and using internet en route.

    Foods and Drinking Water

    • What kind of food can I expect during the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

      Most tea houses (lodges) offer a delicious range of healthy, highly nutritious vegetarian meals such as pasta, tuna bakes, noodles, potatoes, eggs, dal bhat (rice and lentils), fresh vegetables (variety depends on the season), bread, soup to name a few. Likewise, you can have desserts like apple pies, pancakes, and hot drinks like tea, coffee, hot lemon, hot chocolate as well as soft drinks. You can find garlic soup on the menu that helps you with acclimatization. In addition, you can have meat dishes on the menu. Every day, breakfast and dinner should be taken on the lodge where we spend our night whereas lunch is taken at best possible places during the trek. You can have meals as per your interest and choice. Please note that meals are not included in this ABC trip. You need to allocate USD 20 - USD 30 per person each day for all standard meals while trekking in the Annapurna region.

    • Is the food in the mountain region prepared to international standard in terms of safety?

      Yes, the food prepared in the Annapurna region guesthouses are very safe and hygienic. We recommend you to take vegetarian meals for your health reasons, and follow the suggestions of our guide during the journey.

    • What is drinking water facility in the Annapurna region?

      Bottled water is available for purchasing at the cost of USD 2-4 at the lodges and tea houses till you reach Chhomrong. Above the Chhomrong region, use of plastics is banned by the Annapurna Conservation area, so plastic bottled water is not available in this region. So you can buy boiling water or use purification methods such as adding chlorine, iodine to make it pure and drinkable. We highly suggest you bring your own pet bottle along with purification tablets from Kathmandu or Pokhara. Besides, you can use SteriPEN for purifying water.

    • Is there any problem regarding foods for vegetarian/vegan during the ABC trek?

      This is not a problem at all because mostly the mountain tea houses serve vegetarian/vegan meals. In addition, all the meals we serve during the trek include vegetarian and vegan dishes. Moreover, we highly suggest our trekkers to avoid meat dishes during the Annapurna trek as they take a long time to digest. Also, the meat in mountain regions are not hygienic and may cause you food poisoning or other health problems.

    • Do we book our own international flights to and from Nepal?

      Yes. You should book your own international flights to and from Nepal.

      For Kathmandu airport pick up and drop off, we use our private vehicle. Moreover, it depends on group size, and we mostly use cars, minibus, vans or 4WD SUV as means of transportation for reaching domestic airport and city sightseeing tours. In addition, we use tourist buses for travelling to and from Kathmandu-Pokhara. Similarly, we use private vehicles from Pokhara to Nayapul (the starting point of ABC trek) and when returning back to Pokhara.

    • Do you use yak/porter on the trek or do we carry all of our own gear?

      During the trek, our porter will carry your duffel bag. Similarly, you need to carry your backpack for your personal belongings like cameras, water bottle, sun cream and other daily essential items. We provide 1 porter services for 2 people each.

    Season, Weather and Temperatures

    Health and Safety

    • What safety measures are in place? What safety equipment do your guides carry with them on trek to deal with sickness/accidents?

      Our trekking guides are highly experienced, professional and well trained for higher altitude first aid training and related problems. They can measure your oxygen level in blood using oximeters and provide first aid if needed. Our guide carries medicine and a first aid kit during the trek. Besides, our guides carry a cell phone and keep on updating about the trek in our head office Kathmandu every day. If you deal with sickness or accidents, our guide will accompany you throughout the trek and ensure your safety and wellness. In case of emergency, our guide will manage helicopter rescue for your medical treatment in Kathmandu. However, the cost of helicopter charter is solely borne by trekkers.

      Make sure that your insurance policy covered medical expenses and emergency helicopter rescue in high altitude regions above 4,000 m; otherwise the cost is expensive in the mountain region. Only if you have purchased a valid travel insurance policy that covers helicopter charter and medical evacuation, then you can claim for reimbursement with your travel insurance company. In that case, we can help you with providing money receipts for your claim.

    • What immunizations will I need?

      Vaccinations are not mandatory for this trip. Still, we recommend you are vaccinated against diphtheria TB, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, *malaria, typhoid, polio and tetanus for your safety. We suggest a dental check up prior to the trek and be aware of your blood group type. Likewise, if you have any pre-existing medical conditions we recommend you to inform us while booking the trip.

    • If I am sick can I continue the trek next day after a day rest?

      Well, it depends on your sickness level. If you get sick in higher altitude, you need to descent at lower altitude and take rest (3-7 days) for recovery. For solo trekkers, you can discuss with your guide about your health condition and take necessary measures. For group participants, you should talk with your guide about your health condition. Depending upon your situation, our guide will put you in the next trekking group coming up in Annapurna Base Camp trek. Your health matters, so you can take a rest until recovery and catch up with the next group.

    • Do you guys have a Portable Altitude Chamber (PAC)?

      Yes, we do have PAC. Annapurna Base Camp trek is around 4000m level, so it may not always required. Surely, we can provide PAC if necessary with additional fees on payment. Besides, you can hire oxygen cylinder from guest houses if it’s needed. Please note: if you are using oxygen cylinder in the Annapurna region, it can be expensive. So make sure that you have travel insurance that covered your emergency medical expenses at higher altitude.

If you are interested in adding extra days for the trek, you can consult with your guide. so that he will update us in head office, Kathmandu.

I and two other friends took the 16 day ABC tour starting 16th Dec 2017. This is the second time that I’ve taken a tour with Ace the first time being Everest Base Camp in Oct 2015.

We were keen to go again with Ace because of the exceptional service provided first time around. EBC was really a once in a lifetime experience and so we it made sense to go again with Ace.

Just like the first time Ace were very professional with all administrative matters. We had some issues with booking a wrong Scoopon and Ace helped us to use the full value in this for our trip without any fuss.

We requested the same guide (Ramhari) for ABC as we had for EBC as we already had a strong relationship and is someone we can trust for all matters. Fortunately he was able to take us and, again, he had provided outstanding service and leadership for our trek.

We ended up having another amazing trek, another once in a lifetime experience made all the more memorable thanks to Ramhari, our porters and the office staff in Thamel.

Prem (the boss) runs a tight ship and Ace come highly recommended.

Our trek was lead by the wonderful Chris! He was everything you could want from a guide – smart, witty, knowledgeable, funny, kind and above all, patient. Without his help and guidance, many of us wouldn’t have made it to Base Camp. He really is a true asset to ACE. I cannot speak highly enough of Chris and also our incredible porters.

The trek itself is broken down into manageable days, with rest/acclimatization days at strategic points. The staff at the ACE office were a pleasure to deal with. They helped with advice about gear and even offered sleeping bag and puffer jacket hire at a small fee. Communication with them was easy and consistent prior to, and after the trek. The airport pickup/dropoff’s were flexible with flight delays etc, and it was so nice to see a smiling face after a long flight from Australia.

One thing to note, and it is well outside of ACE’s control, is that due to renovations at the airport you are unable to fly from Kathmandu to Lukkla. This means a 6hour bus ride from Kathmandu to Manthali where you spend a night before flying from Manthali to Lukkla the following day. The drive feels long and uncomfortable. The road, at points, feels unbelievably rocky, narrow and unsafe – particularly with the increased traffic that the Kathmandu airport closure creates. This adds an extra day and night onto the trek itinerary, and while I can’t stress enough that ACE has tried to minimise the inconvenience – if you are flexible with your travel dates, I would not recommend booking until the Kathmandu to Lukkla flights are running again. It’s a particularly exhausting and deflating way to finish your trekking itinerary.
