ABC Adventures Pvt. Ltd. and its associates are committed to providing a smooth, safe and memorable journey. We are not liable for itinerary changes due to unavoidable circumstances, such as road blockages, landslides, snowfall, weather, flight delays or cancellations, strikes, or illness and accidents. Any additional costs incurred under these conditions must be borne by the traveller.

The Annapurna Base Camp trek (KAAB) is graded Moderate and suits fit walkers able to trek 5–6 hours a day. The circuit treks (KATI, KAAC) are graded Moderate to Strenuous and cross Thorong La at 5,416 m. Travellers with cardiac or respiratory conditions should consult their doctor before booking, and regular cardio and hill-walking training before travel is advised for all routes.

All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with tea and coffee are provided during trekking days. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, meals follow the plan stated in each trek’s inclusions (BB basis for all treks).

Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment and emergency helicopter evacuation up to the trek’s maximum altitude is strongly advised for all treks, and is essential for the Thorong La crossing.

All four treks go above 4,000 m, where Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is a real risk. Early symptoms include headache, nausea, loss of appetite and poor sleep; they usually ease with rest and hydration, but worsening symptoms mean descending without delay. Each itinerary builds in acclimatisation, at Manang on the circuit treks and through gradual stages on the Base Camp trek.

Drink 3–4 litres of water a day, avoid alcohol at altitude, walk at a steady pace and tell your guide promptly about any symptoms. Travellers with cardiac, respiratory or other relevant medical conditions should consult their doctor before booking, and carry any personal prescription medicines.
