About
Annapurna Base Camp Trek offers many a reason for trekkers to be fascinated during the whole trip. Highlights of the trek include panoramic views of mountain ranges and peaks, captivating sunrises and sunsets, terraced farmlands, ample time to villages of different ethnic groups and ample time to immerse yourself in the Himalayan lifestyle plus warm hospitality of the local people. It starts after a few hours’ drive from Pokhara. The route ascends through villages inhabited by different ethnic groups, specially the Gurung and Pun people. Meet Nepali people doing usual ups and downs in the course of daily life. The settlements, farmlands and forests give way to each other during the whole tour with the settlements getting thinner as you climb higher.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek covers Ghorepani Poonhill Trek as well. In springtime, the forest around this area is covered with blooming rhododendron. Poonhill offers fabulous views of the mountains in Annapurna range.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Satch P0 contributionsLangtang Valley TrekI had an incredible experience with Outdoor Himalayan for my Langtang Valley trek. Despite booking the trek just one day in advance, they were extremely accommodating and made all the arrangements seamlessly.. I embarked on the trek solo, guided by Rapuk, whose expertise and easy-going nature made the journey truly memorable. His competency was evident at every step. He struck the perfect balance between being a great companion when I wanted to chat and giving me space when I needed it, which made the experience both joyful and personal. We completed the trek in 4 days instead of the usual 6, as I was eager to push myself. Rapuk was incredibly supportive and flexible, allowing me to set my own pace and decide our daily goals. There was never any pressure; instead, he encouraged me to enjoy the trek on my terms, which made it all the more fulfilling. I highly recommend Outdoor Himalayan and Rapuk for anyone considering trekking in Nepal. Thank you for an amazing experience!Written 1 December 2024
- ARCTulloch0 contributionsManaslu circuitA high point of 2024 was the two week trek on the Manaslu circuit. The tour company, Outdoor Himalayan Treks, could not have been more helpful and friendly. Badri Aryal and his team looked after us in KMD and on the trek to ensure that the trip was truly memorable. We loved to camadaraderie that flows from trekking and using teahouses- the encounters with younger trekkers (mostly 23-35) gave reciprocal enjoyment. This round circuit trek 'ticks' all the boxes for active holiday.Written 25 November 2024
- Jolyon L0 contributionsWorth the time and cost, outstanding tripI was picked up and looked after until ganded over to helicopter crew. The pilot was great pointing out the mountains and very professional. Weather was outstanding clear blue sky. Everest just the icing on the cake.Written 24 November 2024

- Danuta G0 contributionsThe best travel agency in NepalIt is very easy to write a good review when everything is going smooth and easy according to the plan. And I was traveling many times with Outdoor Himalayan since 2013 with great experience. But you will only new the real value when something is going wrong, when you get sick or need some unpredictable support - then you can be 100% sure that in difficult situations you will have the best support you can ever have. All the team is fantastic and really, I mean really care for the clients. This is the best travel agency in NepalWritten 19 November 2024
- Kamila D0 contributionsTsum Valley & Manaslu Circuit trekOutdoor Himalayan provides the best service in every situation and have the nicest employees. Our Tsum Valley and Manaslu circuit trek was great. Rammani Rijal, our guide Krishna Pokharel and porters Prakash and Sudip did their best to make our trip unforgettable. Next time we will definitely use their services again.Written 30 June 2024

Badri was extremely professional, helpful, and communicative throughout the entire planning process. My guide Bishwas wqs incredibly nice, fun, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, making me feel safe and engaged throughout the entire trek.

He brought a lot of joy and interesting facts to the trip and i am happy to have had him as our guide! Especially since we could adjust the itinerary to the circumstances and were able to cross the larke pass in best weather. Thanks for making that possible!Written 20 March 2024

Our guide Krishna Pokharel was fantastic. With 25 years of trekking experience he knew everything there was to know about the trek and the environments we passed. In addition to this he is a truly kind and funny human being. We highly recommend Outdoor, Krishna and the Manaslu Circuit trek!Written 29 October 2023
- KuanLim0 contributionsNature's Glory at Langtang Valley TrekMy wife and I have recently completed our Langtang Valley Trekking from late May to early June 2023, arranged by Outdoor Himalayan Treks. This is our second time trekking in Nepal and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This time, it was an entirely different experience - for us, Langtang Valley trekking was indeed " Nature at its very Best " The panoramic views of the Himalayan ranges, clean crisp mountain air against a background of the call of nature (chirping of birds, continuous gush of the river/streams, cries of the deer in the night). Walking along lush bamboo forests dotted with pretty flowers, encounters with families of yak, monkeys, mules ..an amazing sight. The sheer absence of technology / internet up in the mountains was quite a different feeling! The trekking in Langtang was raw, rugged...oneness with nature. For the first two days we were going uphill with average vertical gains of 1000m each day and hitting 3300m on day 3. Steep ascents very often on narrow paths, laden with rocks, stones, and crossing streams required deft and steady footwork. What goes up must come down..steep descents were a toll on our knees. The air gets thinner as we climb higher, thank goodness we had paced ourselves throughout the trek and we were blessed with excellent weather. My wife continued and reached the peak of Kyanjin 1 at 4400m, where she enjoyed the great sense of accomplishment and the glorious breathtaking views! The funny thing was, sharing with her moment of joy at the peak appeared angels ...two friendly dogs ! The beauty of nature is also present in the professional and experienced handling of both our guide and porter. Our guide, Subba is very experienced and was most attentive to our needs. Together with our young and strong porter, Madhov, they were a wonderful pair. In moments, when I thought I was going to slip down the terrain, a quick hand would be there to support me. Will always remember the wise words of our guide.."Take baby steps and follow the mule". The warm hospitality of our hosts at the guesthouses provided us with a glimpse of the local Tibetan culture. The simplicity and beauty of nature !Written 17 June 2023

I highly recommend this company if you plan trekking in Nepal. I have to give special thanks to the manager Rammani and to our porter – guide Madav for their hospitality and great help for this unique experience. Rammani help us a lot and earn for us some extra days with the arrayments and the licenses of the trek. Madav it was our friend for 20 days and do everything possible to help us. We couldn't ask for more and we highly and strongly recommend the trip, experience and travel company.Written 24 May 2023
- Agata D0 contributionsEBC trekking with the best companyI highly recommend this company if you plan trekking in Nepal. They provide full support from the very beginning. The great advantage is that they are very flexible and adjust the trekking to your needs and conditions. Ramani makes impossible possible and will help you very quickly and effectively with everything you need. He not only provide relentless support during the trek but with many other topics you might have. I will definitely choose Outdoor Himalayan Treks for the next trip.Written 17 May 2023

Very quick to respond and helpful when it comes to booking hotels, local transport, food recommendations. He provided relentless support for our ever changing plans.

This was our first trek in the Himalaya and it met all ouf our expectations. We chose the ABC trek partly because it "only" goes up to 4,200 metres and wanted to see how we'd get on with the altitude. We travelled with Himalayan Social journey (recommended) and our guide Ganesh was excellent. Ours was a 9 day trek via Poonhill. The scenery was superb - ever chaning as we climbed. Tea house accommodation was as expected - basic but clean. Expect to share a room at ABC in high season. We decided to give the hot spring at Jinhu a miss and instead took a jeep to Sarangot for 1 night. Highly recommended - the views of Pokhara lake in one direction and the himalayan range in the other were stunning.

I joined my friends on the Annapurna Circuit trek, which they had organised with Outdoor Himalayan Treks and it couldn't have been more straight forward other than for me to book international flights on a tight schedule. Everything was custom to our schedule and well organised, I just turned up having read through the schedule/itinerary pack and was welcomed at the airport where I could have felt a little lost but I wasn't because the attention to detail like identifying my face prior so they could fish me out of the crowd before I could recognise my name on a board. Greeted by the owner/operator and welcomed to Nepal was comforting.
The trip with our Guide Dilli and porter Harri was a huge part of my fulfilling experience on the circuit, they were extremely helpful, knowledgeable about the whole mountain range and Nepal in general. I really felt I got to understand he culture as well as the mountains whilst being in the best care and safe at all times day or night. I wouldn't ask for anyone else returning to the Himalayas, these guys are fun and thoughtful, ensuring we make the most of the time we had there, I can't thank you enough.
Amazing trip, Highly recommend OH treks!

We just returned from our Annapurna circuit trip. This organization was found through a Google search, where someone wrote a post about their travel experience with Outdoor Himalayan Treks.
We decided to write to several companies, but these turned out to be the fastest. The owner of the company answered our questions very quickly and clearly that we were left in no doubt about who to go with in the Himalayas.
Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted with local flowers and taken to the hotel where we began our journey.
We had a guide and a porter during the entire trek. The guide was very polite and took care of us during the trip. Always adjusted to our pace, which contributed to good acclimatization.
And Porter...I've never seen such strong people who can carry so much weight and go fast!
Even though we have been to many countries, thanks to the well-coordinated team, we think it was the best trip ever.
We are already planning our next trip to Everest Base Camp with Outdoor Himalayan Treks!

I arrived at Kathmandu airport with my teenage son and plans to take on the Everest Basecamp trek. Our trip kicked off without baggage and Lukla weather dramas. We lost two days and knew this was impacting our ability to achieve EBC.
The hotel staff recommended we discuss with Ram from Outdoor Himalayan, who offered opportunities to get us back on track. We stuck with our intentions for EBC and met our guide Dilli who lead the way to the airport at Ramechhap. We faced further weather delays which made EBC unachievable.
My son agreed we should seek an alternative achievable trek. Dilli was able to offer suggestions due to his years of experience. Dilli and Ram worked together overthe phone and overnight rerouted our way to Annapurna Basecamp.
I shared some great challenges, experiences and times with my son and Dilli as we made our way to ABC. No easy feat for me but loved it...beautiful country, scenes and people.
Dilli was a great catalyst for making the day enjoyable though his knowledge and thoughtfulness while making sure we were comfortable and always looked to improve our position.
Thanks heap Dilli (and Ram) for turning this holiday and unplanned challenges into an unforgettable adventure, great job!!
I look forward to the day our trekking paths cross again.
