is relatively easy for those who are used to running at higher altitudes. We
kindly ask you to jog and exercise regularly at least a few months before the

knowledge is required for this trip. It is also essential to check with your
doctor before booking the trek. If you have the following diseases related to heart,

Best travel time
Annapurna Base Camp Trek is best in the
fall (September through November) and spring (March through May). During this
time, the sky is clear, and the view is excellent. The weather is perfect for
hiking without rain. Especially during the spring season, we can also enjoy
lush vegetation in the lower regions of the trail.
Trekking gear
It is a short hike in the Annapurna
region. You don't need individual gears. We recommend a sleeping bag, trekking
boots, pants, socks, a warm jacket, T-shirts (two or three) and a long-sleeved
shirt, sunscreen (SPF 20+), backpack, flashlight (flashlight), camera, memory
card and battery charger (spare batteries), quick-dry towel, crampons if you do
this hike in the spring.
It's easy or difficult. Annapurna Base Camp trek is
considered to be one of the most reliable hikes in Nepal as the route of this
hike is not that steep or difficult. Most of the time up to Annapurna Base Camp
takes place below 3000m. However, the terrain is challenging with thousands of
stairs. It can be a challenge as the path leads to the base camp of the 10th
highest mountain in the world. It is therefore vital to prepare for the hike in
advance if you are hiking in the high mountains for the first time.

and drink and takes care of where we sleep. I can only recommend this company!
