Trekking to North Annapurna Base Camp is offered by several agencies in Kathmandu as an all-inclusive package with a guide and porters. It is also popular to do this trek by hiring your own staff, guides and porters are easy to find in Kathmandu and Pokhara and this way is cheaper than a package trek.
You can book a tour when you arrive through a local agency or beforehand through an agency online. Most international and local companies use the same local guides and porters. Hand your money to a company you trust, because in the end they are responsible for your safety and you want to go with a company using the best staff.
Organizing your own trek with guides and porters sound very expensive, but is actually a very affordable way of trekking. We found the route easy to follow, and it is reasonably well-marked. If you are not an experienced trekker or are walking alone a guide is a good idea. If you do not want to carry your own pack, hire a porter. Many solo trekkers hire a guide as a company, it is not good to trek alone and is good to support the local economy.
Two permits are required to do this trek, a TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) and an Entry Permit for the North Annapurna Conservation Area. Both permits can be purchased at the tourism office in Pokhara, if needed visas for staying in Nepal can also be extended here. The permits are checked along the way.
Make sure not to bring too much stuff, especially if you’re planning to do the trek without a porter. You won’t need much every night you stay and eat at a guesthouse, no need to carry camping or cooking gear. The most useful thing we had was our LifeStraw bottles. First, they save you quite a lot on buying drinking water. Second, it’s great for the environment.
Annapurna Base Camp trek can be started and finished at different places. If you’re going to walk the ABC trek as a separate trek without combining it with other routes the best places to start and finish are Kande and Ghandruk. You can do it either way starting at Kande (as we did) and finishing in Ghandruk or the other way around. The total distance and the ascent will be the same.
If you want to extend the trek you can combine it with one of the other routes many trekkers combine ABC with the Poon Hill trek. In this case, you start in Nayapul. To do these two treks together you’ll need;8-10 days.
