Important Note

ABC Trek Difficulty Level: 

The Best Sanctuary trek in Annapurna is that’s not difficult compared to Everest Base Camp or other high-altitude trekking. This Trek is leveled from Moderate to hard.

Excellent

My wife and I went with our guide along the ring route around Annapurna. Both were very satisfied with the organization of the trip. The guide selected convenient places for overnight stays in guest houses, the porter was chosen correctly, throughout the route we received good advice and help from our guide. On the route, due to the circumstances, we had to make changes to the schedule and our guide quickly managed to make changes so that all participants were comfortable to continue moving. Also, in the process of communicating with the guide, we received a lot of useful information about Nepal, its inhabitants, customs and nature. We enjoyed the trip very much and we were very pleased with the impressions received. There are plans to do some more routes with our guide.

Unforgettable Experience!

I recently went on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Travers Nepal and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The trek itself is stunning, with breathtaking views of the Annapurna mountain range at every turn. The team at Travers Nepal made the experience even better, with their exceptional organization and attention to detail. From the moment we arrived in Kathmandu, Travers Nepal took care of everything. They arranged for airport transfers, helped us obtain necessary permits, and provided a detailed briefing about the trek. Our guide, Raj, was knowledgeable and friendly, and made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the trek. The trek itself was challenging but incredibly rewarding. We passed through beautiful villages and lush forests, and the views of the mountains were simply spectacular. The highlight, of course, was reaching Annapurna Base Camp itself. It was an awe-inspiring moment and one that I will never forget. The accommodation provided by Travers Nepal was also excellent. We stayed in comfortable lodges with hot showers and delicious meals. Our porter, who carried our bags, was also very friendly and professional. Overall, I highly recommend the Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Travers Nepal. The scenery is stunning, the trek is challenging but manageable, and the team at Travers Nepal goes above and beyond to make sure your experience is unforgettable.
