  1. How to prepare for Annapurna Base Camp Trek? This article generates some ideas and tips about how to prepare for Annapurna Base Camp Trek to make your trip comfortable and hassle free. Annapurna Base Camp Trek is popular two-week teahouse trek in Annapurna region of Nepal. This trek takes you to the base camp of Mount Annapurna to witness the grandeur that Annapurna region offers.

  2. Physical Fitness and Health • Annapurna Base Camp is moderate and no technical skills are required. It is perfect for anyone with average fitness level who walk 5 – 6 hours a day with a light rucksack. 4,320m at ABC is the highest point of the trek. The Annapurna trekking routes offers plenty of time to acclimatize your body; hence there is very low risk of altitude sickness but you must take care yourself. • Train yourself by engaging on physical activities – running, swimming, weight exercise and hiking to prepare for the journey.

  3. Choose the right Time • Annapurna Base Camp trek is perfect in autumn (from September – December) and spring (March – May). These two season offers the great mountain views, stunning landscapes and colorful cultural experience. For comfortable and safe journey, proceed in these two seasons. The temperature is mild which is perfect for hiking. • In winter, the base camp is full of snow and the trail route is sleepy. The extremely cold temperature might not be suitable for everybody. Likewise, Monsoon invites the risk of landslide, floods, leeches and dirt.

  4. Travel Insurance • Trekking in remote mountain terrain is not always safe. To overcome the unforeseen problems, we highly recommend you to purchase the travel insurance. • Sometime you might also need heli-rescue, so it is wise to purchase the travel insurance which covers emergency evacuation, trip cancellation and interruption, travel delays, loss of baggage and travel documents and others.

  5. Trekking Staffs • Trekking in unknown trail in remote mountain terrain is challenging. We suggest you to hire a professional trekking guide and supportive porters to make the trip comfortable and enjoyable. Guides are well-known about the trail; they offer you all the information about the local places and take you to the viewpoint that offers superb views. They can also forecast the upcoming risks and act immediately.

  6. Best trekking route: • There are many trekking routes that connects Annapurna Base Camp. For more experience, we suggest you to join GhorepaniPoon Hill Trek and trek further to ABC. It would be a complete experience full of adventure and funs. Poon Hill at 3,210m offers the dramatic extension of mountain range – starting from Dhaulagiri, past Annapurna to Manaslu. The sunrise view is equally fascinating. The cultural ambience is always enthralling in Poon Hill trekking route.

  7. Trekking Permits • Annapurna region is protected by Annapurna conservation Area (ACAP), you must obtain entry permit to trek in Annapurna. Purchase ACAP permit and TIMS card. Trekking agency will help you get these permits from Pokhara and Kathmandu.

  8. Personal equipment and check list • Make a comprehensive list of trekking equipment and checklist. Pack all the required clothing, daily utensils, camera/mobile chargers and health kit. Light clothes for lower part and warm for alpine elevation. You can contact your trekking agency for complete equipment list.
