Annapurna Base camp Trekking

No Experience Required

You don’t need to have previous trekking experiences in the Himalayas. If you are physically fit and keen to explore heaven on earth, you will simply make it. However, we recommend you practice hiking at your place to maintain your fitness and stretch your nerves.

Brief Meeting before Departure

The guide of Shiva Excursion explains to you briefly about the trip before heading over there. It is an introductory session between the guests and guide too. We point out some of the preparatory points and points to be aware of while trekking.

Accommodation on ABC Trek 

The majority of lodging on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is offered by tea houses, which are little lodges situated all along the route of the trek. These tea houses provide simple yet cozy accommodations, which enhances the accessibility and enjoyment of hiking. 

Usually modest, the rooms have blankets, a small table, and twin beds. After a long day of hiking, guests can relax in comfortable, clean, and well-maintained accommodations, despite the fact that they might not be luxurious.

Apart from providing overnight accommodations, tea houses often provide common eating spaces where hikers can dine and chat with other explorers. The dining rooms have a cozy, welcoming feel since wood burners are frequently used to heat them. 

Tea shops provide a wide range of local and foreign cuisine, with popular options including dal bhat (rice and lentils), noodles, soups, and momos (dumplings). These eating rooms are excellent locations to network with other hikers, exchange tales, and learn more about the path ahead.

All things considered, the tea house accommodations on the ABC Trek improve the hiking experience by offering basic conveniences and a sense of community.

Transportation used in Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Depending on the size of your group, our Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Package includes full ground transportation. We provide a range of transportation options, including cars, buses, jeeps, and Hiace vans, depending on the number of participants. 

Since every one of these cars meets tourist standards, you can be sure of a relaxing and enjoyable ride. In order to provide a comfortable and pleasurable journey to and from the journey, they have seats with air conditioning to give relief from the various temperatures along the route.

Due to their affordability, tourist buses are a popular option for many people and are widely accessible. With plenty of room for luggage and the bonus of being able to take in the beautiful scenery, these buses provide a dependable and pleasant means of getting from one place to another.

Flying is another alternative for people looking for a quicker and more comfortable way to go from Kathmandu to Pokhara. By cutting down on travel time, the airplane provides a swift and beautiful alternative, freeing up more time for the real trek. 

The flight offers breathtaking vistas of the Himalayas and a distinctive viewpoint of the rugged region you will shortly be walking through.

Insurance:

Travel insurance provides crucial coverage for emergencies and unforeseen catastrophes, making it indispensable for hikers to Annapurna Base Camp. 

Proper insurance is essential because of the possible dangers associated with the rough terrain and high elevations of the Annapurna region. 

Travel insurance offers financial security in the event of illness, injury, or altitude-related problems. It pays for medical costs and makes emergency evacuation easier, which might be expensive given the isolated location.

In addition, insurance must particularly cover this level due to the trek's 4,200 meter elevation to guard against altitude-related problems, including severe mountain sickness. 

Altitude Sickness

Although it is not a typical occurrence on the Annapurna Base Camp Trekking Route, high-altitude sickness is a condition that should not be ignored. 

Acute mountain sickness symptoms can appear as low as 3,000 meters; therefore, it's important to take precautions because this trek's highest point is 4,130 meters.

Eating particular foods, like ginger and garlic soup, and drinking hot beverages to remain hydrated might help ease symptoms and speed up the acclimatization process. Trekkers must, however, take proactive measures to maintain their health. 

It can be easier to manage pre-existing problems and avoid any health concerns if you see a doctor before the walk and make sure you pack any essential medicines. 

It is possible to enjoy the walk safely and pleasantly while taking appropriate measures and paying attention to your body's signals. This will allow you to appreciate the stunning landscape of the Annapurna region without risking your health.

Meals:

Shiva Excursion offers meals as part of our all-inclusive package reservations. This guarantees hassle-free meals for the duration of your hike to Annapurna Base Camp. You will be fed breakfast, lunch, and Dinner every day.

Usually, the lodge, guest house, or hotel where you are spending the night serves both dinner and breakfast. These lodgings provide a range of delectable and nourishing meals to support your hiking expedition. Breakfasts often consist of bread, eggs, pancakes, and porridge; evenings are substantial meals meant to give you energy back after a long day of hiking.

Your lunch will be served along the trails in the local villages. These stations have been carefully selected to guarantee that you take a restful break in a comfortable setting. A variety of food options are available at the restaurants to accommodate a range of tastes and preferences. 

The national dish of Nepal, Dal Bhat, is one of the highlights of the cuisine and something you should taste. It is a filling and well-balanced meal that comprises rice and lentil soup served with pickles, vegetable curries, and occasionally meat.
