Difficulty
​
The trek to Annapurna Base Camp is manageable for experienced hikers. You should enjoy being active for 4 to 8 hours daily. You will do this with a light backpack (the rest will be carried by local porters). What makes the trek slightly more challenging than, for example, a trek in the Alps, is the thin air. Each participant reacts differently to it. Therefore, we don't rush anything, and there is ample opportunity for each individual to complete their own adjustment. Our guide ensures this.
