The luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek provides a unique opportunity for the more discerning traveler to spend time in the great Himalayas without sacrificing comfort. This adventurous, luxury trek takes the excitement of mountain trekking and combines it with convenient services that differentiate your experience from the life of a typical trekking client. As opposed to the more widely used method of each client having to sleep in basic teahouses, the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek offers a few selected luxury lodges that have guaranteed availability of private bathrooms and heated rooms and still offer gourmet meals. Besides, a strong and personable porter takes care of you and your equipment throughout your trek, enabling you and your personal belongings to be carried on your back, uncomfortably burdened. Likewise, your knowledgeable and experienced guides are happy to share amazing information regarding the importance of the overall region’s cultural heritage and distinct ecology. The trek begins in Kathmandu with immediate access to five-star hotel accommodations, and of course, flying to beautiful Pokhara on your way. After spending time taking in the sights of Pokhara, your trek to Luxury Annapurna Base Camp follows a detailed itinerary with stunning scenery. Within days, you will pass through verdant rhododendron forests and traditional Gurung villages and eventually reach the stunning Annapurna Sanctuary. Traveling offers a special type of magic, whether you experience the daily sunrise upon emerging light on the mountains at Poon Hill or the equally rewarding feeling of standing in the same area beneath the towering heights of Annapurna I, Machapuchare, and the other giants of the Himalayas.

What sets the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek apart is the emphasis on detail. Each evening is spent luxuriating in a hot shower followed by a gourmet multi-course dinner with both international and local fare. You can sip your morning coffee from your private balcony while gazing over a mountain view or loiter while enjoying a massage after a hard day’s trek. These will create a proper journey of discovery and relaxation, even when it turns difficult. The Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek cost reflects a premium experience. You’re not just paying for the basics; you are purchasing exceptional comfort that is rarely found in trekking: wilderness gourmet meals and personalized service for any part of the journey. While the basics of each trek may be fine, this luxury is important—at every place, you are safe, comfortable, and also enjoy memorable interactions. Once you understand the price list of the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek, you can start to piece together the perfect package for you. From our Silver package (great for small groups who are looking for this kind of experience) to our customized luxury Platinum package with a helicopter return option, this will mean something completely different for you. Each package remains absolutely luxurious while providing different levels of privacy and personalization.

The best times to experience the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek are October-November for pristine views of mountains and March-April for stunning blooms of rhododendron flowers. If you are someone who enjoys traveling away from the crowds, you may want to check out our winter treks, which offer additional luxury services to ensure comfort while enjoying slightly cooler temperatures. It should be noted that it is still a true Himalayan adventure, even when traveling with luxury accommodations. Some moderate level of fitness preparation will certainly help improve your overall enjoyment, especially as you approach 4,130 meters at base camp. Our personal concierge will work with you before your departure to ensure you are prepared for the adventure and have everything you need and want. In addition to being comfortable, we consider the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek itself to be a once-in-a-lifetime, true transformational experience that is spiritually enriching. From joining a blessing ceremony at a village to observing the morning alpenglow shine on sacred peaks, the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek will create a deep and lasting spiritual connection to this magnificent place that originates from leisure, comfort, and luxury rather than impeding it.

Each aspect of your adventure—from the selected accommodations to the assembly of your itinerary—shows our dedication to providing a wonderful trekking experience. The luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek is not simply a hike; it is an enhanced trip in respect to the majesty of the mountains and your pursuit of luxury and comfort. Discover how wilderness and luxury can coexist in the home of Nepal’s most renowned mountain sanctuary. Your Himalayan dreams cannot be ordinary.

    We suggest you to drink Euro-guard filters water now several guest houses have this system or bring chlorine tablets to purify the normal water available in the guest houses along the way. Also boiled filter water is available in tea house they are using gas or electric boiler. For water ask to lodge people which might cost little during whole period of trekking. Although mineral water is available in most places which is better choice and there is no provision to dispose of the plastic bottles, but we encourage the guests to do what they can protect the environment.

    Trekking Team (Guide, Porter)

    We offer you an experienced trekking guide. He is in charge of your overall trekking. This is the person you should go to with all problems, concerns and questions. He is well trained in all aspects of trekking, high altitude medicine, first aid and emergency procedure. He is selected in terms of his professionalism. Remember that trekking guides are local citizens and their English may be basic and limited to trek related topics. About porters, they carry your luggage. They are also local citizens. Normally one porter carries 20 to 25 kg of stuff. Normally we provide one porter for two trekkers.

    Travel Insurance

    Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.

    Washing and Toilet facilities for Tea house Trekking

    Most lodges provide hot showers, though sometimes a hot shower means a bucket of hot water only but availability of hot water can ask to your trekking guide. For ecological reasons please try to limit your use of hot water unless if you are providing solar - heated water. Please note that at higher altitude and in colder seasons there is rare chance to have enough hot water for all the trekkers. If the water is frozen then ask your guide to get warm bowl of water. Toilets are usually Asian squat style and vary in how clean they are. Normally toilets are outside the lodge but now some lodges have attached or indoor toilets. The rubbish bin in the toilet is kept for your used toilet paper.

    Re-charging Batteries of Electronic Items on the Trek

    You can recharge your batteries with electricity or solar power sources. In Nepal 220 – 240 volt 50 MHZ (50 Cycles per Second) power is supplied.

    our clients loves us

    I searched for a company which could organize 16 days trip in Nepal, for my husband, my child (6 year old girl) and me. I decided to go with Himalayan Smile Treks and did not regret for a moment. KP was very patient while making plans and adjusting it to our wishes, and in the end it turned out perfect – from Kathmandu, to 6 days Poon Hill trek, Pokhara and Chitwan
