Annapurna Circuit Trek is a high-altitude trek. You need a local person with you to the minimize risk. It means even if you don’t want to take trekking packages, you can hire a guide/Porter.
The distance of the 13-day Annapurna Circuit itinerary is 100 miles or 160 kilometers. Which starts from Syange and ends at JOMSOM.
Expect winter time ( Mid-December to the beginning of February ) it is the best time to explore the Annapurna Circuit Route. If you don’t care about the crowd on the route, it is best to do it either from September to December or March to April. But if you wish to avoid crowd, you should try some weeks prior to or after these 2 busy seasons.
We had planned to visit Nepal but because of Covid, we postponed it. But eventually, we did it.
My friend and I booked Annapurna Circuit Hiking 17 day trek at Base Camp Hike. Jayaram provided us a guide, his name is Kamal. The guide was very pleasant, caring and super informed. Book Trekking with Base Camp Hike and ask for Guide Kamal. Next time, we will come for Maklu Base Camp Trekking and will use again Kamal and his company.
I completed the Annapurna Circuit, in April 2022, with BASE CAMP HIKE and had the most magical time. Base Camp Hike arranged everything perfectly – accommodations, transport from the airport, meals, etc. The service that they provided me was incredible. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
I had guide Rajesh and he has great humor and Kindness. He took care of me perfectly during the whole trekking period.
Rajesh was kind, understanding and knowledgeable. He found us the best tea houses to stay in and explained the local environment and culture.
He adapted the itinerary depending on how I was feeling as the trip developed. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay to Rajesh is the always made me feel safe. Hiking above 4,500m isn’t easy, but Rajesh was a constant reassurance – checking in on any symptoms and ensuring everything went smoothly.
The Annapurna Circuit trekking was breathtaking, really BEAUTIFUL. Around every corner, there was another above 6000 meter mountain. Once in a lifetime experience!!!
I did the Annapurna Circuit trek in September 2019. I am in my 60-ties and was afraid whether can complete this trek which includes the pass at 5416 m. But with Base Camp Hike I managed to did it easily! They arranged all my permits and provide me very professional and friendly guide Kamal who took care of me while on the trek. I can fully recommend BCH – they are professional, responsible, and helpful when planning the trek. They are also flexible: can provide any type of service starting from all-included to hiring a guide only (I have chosen the latter option which means that I needed to pay all my expenses on the trek and transport for the guide). Thanks, BCH for my amazing holidays.

We did the Annapurna circuit trek under the perfect supervision of our guide Jayaram and Dependra as a porter. We spend 11 nights in the mountains and were lucky with the weather in May. Jayaram arranged everything perfectly including AirPort pick-up, hotels and even every night fresh fruit. Very caring guide with eye for detail/service.
