“Our Annapurna Base Camp trek was perfectly paced. Pemba knew every teahouse, checked in on how we felt at altitude, and still found time to share stories about the mountains.”

Common questions
What international travelers ask first
Do I need permits for trekking in the Annapurna region?
Yes. Most Annapurna treks require the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and a TIMS card. We arrange both for package guests and carry copies on the trail.
Is a guide mandatory for trekking in Nepal?
Licensed guides are required on many popular routes for foreign trekkers. Our packages include a government-licensed guide; porters are arranged on a typical 1:2 guest-to-porter ratio unless you request otherwise.
When is the best time to trek around Pokhara?
Autumn (October–November) brings the clearest mountain views. Spring (March–May) offers mild days and rhododendron bloom. Winter is possible but cold at higher camps; monsoon (June–September) means rain, cloud, and leeches on lower trails.
How do you manage altitude on higher treks?
We follow gradual ascent profiles, build rest/acclimatization days into Everest and Circuit itineraries, and brief every guest on AMS symptoms. Guides carry a basic first-aid kit and can arrange descent if anyone feels unwell.
What is usually included in a trek package price?
Typical inclusions: permits, licensed guide, porter support, teahouse lodging, three meals a day on trek, and ground transport between Pokhara and the trailhead. Flights, travel insurance, personal gear, tips, and drinks are usually excluded.
