Overview: Annapurna Base Camp Trek – 14 Days

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a 14-day Himalayan trekking journey in Nepal's Annapurna Region. The Trek takes you from Kathmandu to Pokhara and then into the Annapurna Sanctuary. The Trek combines traditional mountain villages, rhododendron and bamboo forests, suspension bridges, waterfalls, panoramic Himalayan viewpoints, and the dramatic amphitheater of mountains surrounding Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters (13,550 feet).

This classic Annapurna Base Camp Trek itinerary includes the sunrise viewpoint at Poon Hill, the Gurung and Magar villages of the lower Annapurna region, Tadapani and Chhomrong, Machhapuchhre Base Camp, and an overnight stay near Annapurna Base Camp before descending through Jhinu Danda and returning to Pokhara.

ABC Trek Itinerary is designed for travelers with reasonable fitness who can walk around 5–7 hours per day on mountain trails. The route is considered a moderate trek, with no technical climbing required; however, the ascent to 4,130 meters still requires proper pacing, hydration, preparation, and awareness of altitude.

Our 14-day package starts and ends in Kathmandu and includes accommodation, meals during the Trek, transportation, trekking permits, a licensed guide, porter service, and airport transfers. We also offer private departures and alternative Annapurna Base Camp itineraries for travelers who want a shorter trek, a Pokhara start, a helicopter return, or an extended Annapurna adventure.

  • Have around two weeks available for a Nepal adventure
  • Enjoy mountain villages, forests, waterfalls, and Himalayan scenery
  • Are comfortable walking approximately 5–7 hours on trekking days
  • Prefer a guided and organized trekking experience

Highlights of Annapurna Base Camp Trek – 14 Days

  • Watch the sunrise from Poon Hill with spectacular views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri, and Hiunchuli.
  • Explore the Annapurna Sanctuary, including Machhapuchhre Base Camp and the dramatic trail to Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 m (13,550 ft).
  • Spend a night at Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by the towering peaks of the Annapurna massif and Himalayan glaciers.
  • Relax in Jhinu Danda’s natural hot springs and experience the warm hospitality and culture of the local Gurung and Magar communities.

What to Expect on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek – 14 Days

The 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek combines Himalayan scenery, village life, comfortable teahouse stays, and a gradual transition from the busy cities to the peaceful Annapurna Sanctuary. Here is what you can expect along the way:

  • A mix of culture and mountain adventure: Your journey begins with time in Kathmandu and Pokhara before entering the trekking region. You will experience Nepalese culture, local traditions, and mountain communities before the trail takes you deeper into the Himalayas.
  • Changing scenery every day: The landscape changes constantly as you gain elevation—from green hills and terraced farmland to dense forests, alpine valleys, and rugged mountain terrain. The changing scenery keeps each day of the trek different.
  • Authentic village life: You will stay overnight in local teahouses and pass through communities where daily life is closely connected to the mountains. There are opportunities to meet local people, enjoy traditional meals, and experience the welcoming atmosphere of the Annapurna region.
  • A rewarding high-altitude experience: The trail becomes increasingly dramatic as you enter the Annapurna Sanctuary. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp and spending the night there gives you time to experience the mountain environment beyond simply arriving at the destination.
  • A relaxing finish: After descending from the high mountains, the natural hot springs at Jhinu Danda provide a welcome opportunity to rest your tired muscles before returning to Pokhara and completing your Himalayan adventure.

How Difficult Is the Annapurna Base Camp Trek?

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a moderate-level trek suitable for travelers with a reasonable level of fitness. It does not require technical climbing or previous mountaineering experience. Still, you should be prepared for several hours of walking each day on uneven mountain trails.

The trail includes regular ascents and descents, stone steps, forest paths, and some steeper sections, particularly as you approach the higher parts of the Annapurna Sanctuary. The highest point is Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 m (13,550 ft), so altitude becomes an important consideration.

You can prepare by building your walking endurance before the trek, especially through regular hiking, stair climbing, or cardio exercise. During the trek, walk at a comfortable pace, stay hydrated, eat well, and allow your body time to adjust as you gain elevation.

With proper preparation and a steady pace, most reasonably fit travelers can complete the Annapurna Base Camp Trek and enjoy the experience without needing technical trekking skills.

Length, Distance, Hours and Elevation on 14 Days ABC Itinerary

The 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek includes travel between Kathmandu and Pokhara, and approximately 85–90 km of trekking, depending on the exact trail and the short road transfers included in the itinerary. The trekking portion begins near Nayapul/Birethanti after traveling from Pokhara. It follows the classic route through Ghorepani, Poon Hill, Tadapani, Chhomrong, and the Annapurna Sanctuary before descending to Jhinu Danda.

You typically walk for 5–7 hours per day, though some days may be shorter or longer depending on the terrain. The most demanding sections include the stone-step climb toward Ghorepani and the ascent from the lower Modi Khola valley toward Annapurna Base Camp.

The highest point of the trek is Annapurna Base Camp at 4,130 meters (13,550 feet). The route gains elevation gradually, but the final approach into the Annapurna Sanctuary is at high altitude, so a steady pace, good hydration, and proper preparation are important.

Distance and Elevation on 14 Days Itinerary

Trekking Day Route Walking Distance Walking Time Elevation
Day 4 Nayapul/Birethanti to Tikhedhunga Approx. 7 km 3–4 hours 1,540 m
Day 5 Tikhedhunga to Ghorepani Approx. 11 km 7–8 hours 2,860 m
Day 6 Ghorepani – Poon Hill – Tadapani Approx. 12 km 6–7 hours Poon Hill 3,210 m
Day 7 Tadapani to Chhomrong Approx. 10 km 6–7 hours 2,170 m
Day 8 Chhomrong to Himalaya Approx. 11 km 6–7 hours 2,920 m
Day 9 Himalaya to Annapurna Base Camp Approx. 11 km 6–7 hours 4,130 m
Day 10 Annapurna Base Camp to Dovan Approx. 12 km 6–7 hours 2,600 m
Day 11 Dovan to Jhinu Danda Approx. 12 km 6–7 hours 1,760 m
Day 12 Jhinu Danda to Siwai and drive to Pokhara Short walk + road transfer Approx. 4–5 hours combined 830 m

How Much Do You Walk Each Day?

Most trekking days involve approximately 7–12 km of walking. The distance itself is only one part of the challenge because the trail includes frequent ascents and descents, stone steps, suspension bridges, forest paths, and uneven mountain terrain.

The climb from Tikhedhunga toward Ghorepani is one of the more demanding days because of the long stone staircase section near Ulleri. Later in the trek, the approach from the Himalaya to Annapurna Base Camp is challenging due to the increasing elevation and more rugged terrain.

After reaching Annapurna Base Camp, the route descends steadily toward Dovan and Jhinu Danda. The final trekking day includes a short walk toward Siwai followed by a road transfer to Pokhara.

How Much Elevation Do You Gain?

The route starts in the lower hills and gradually climbs toward the Annapurna Sanctuary. You will pass through several distinct elevation zones, from subtropical forests and terraced farmland to rhododendron forests and the high alpine environment surrounding Annapurna Base Camp.

The highest point is 4,130 meters (13,550 feet) at Annapurna Base Camp. Poon Hill, at 3,210 meters, is an important viewpoint but is not the highest point of the trek.

Because the route reaches more than 4,000 meters, altitude should be taken seriously. Your guide will monitor your pace and general condition. At the same time, you should stay hydrated, eat regularly, and communicate any symptoms of altitude sickness.

Why the 14-Day Itinerary Works Well

The 14-day itinerary includes Kathmandu and Pokhara as well as the trekking route, giving you time to experience the lower Annapurna region before reaching the higher mountains.

The route also includes Ghorepani and Poon Hill, which add a gradual approach to the Annapurna Sanctuary rather than taking the shortest route directly toward Base Camp. This gives you a wider variety of landscapes, villages, forests, viewpoints, and cultural experiences along the journey.

If you have less time, Outfitter Himalaya also offers shorter Annapurna Base Camp itineraries, while travelers looking for a longer Himalayan adventure can combine ABC with other Annapurna routes.

Must-Know

Practical Information

Accommodation on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek combines comfortable city hotels with simple mountain teahouse accommodation along the trekking route.

You will spend 3 nights in Kathmandu and 2 nights in Pokhara in comfortable tourist-standard hotels on a twin/double-sharing basis. These stays provide a comfortable place to rest before and after your Himalayan adventure.

You will spend 8 nights in local teahouses and mountain lodges during the trek and the accommodation on the trail is simple but comfortable, generally offering twin-sharing rooms with beds, mattresses, pillows, and blankets. Most lodges also have a communal dining area where trekkers gather for meals and relaxation.

In popular lower villages, private rooms and attached bathrooms may be available, while at higher locations, including parts of the Annapurna Sanctuary, shared bathrooms and dormitory-style accommodation may be necessary due to limited facilities.

What to Expect at Teahouses

  • Twin-sharing rooms are standard where available.
  • Private rooms may be available at lower elevations but cannot always be guaranteed during peak trekking seasons.
  • Shared bathrooms are common, particularly at higher elevations.
  • Hot showers may be available at many lodges for an additional charge.
  • Blankets are generally provided, but a sleeping bag is recommended for additional warmth and comfort.
  • Accommodation at higher elevations is more basic because of the remote mountain location.

Note:

  • Know the detail of tea houses along the ABC Trail in our Annapurna base camp accommodation blog.
  • If you prefer upgraded accommodation in Kathmandu or Pokhara, 4- or 5-star hotel upgrades can be arranged at an additional cost before the trek begins.

Meals During the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek package includes 31 meals: 13 breakfasts, 9 lunches, and 9 dinners, as outlined in the itinerary.

During the trek, breakfast and dinner are served at the lodge where you stay overnight, while lunch is enjoyed at a teahouse along the trail. Meals are prepared fresh and provide the energy needed for several hours of daily walking.

The menu varies by location but generally includes traditional Nepali meals such as dal bhat, as well as rice dishes, noodles, soups, potatoes, vegetables, eggs, pasta, bread, and other trekking-friendly meals. Vegetarian options are widely available along the route.

  • Food choices become more limited as you reach higher elevations, particularly inside the Annapurna Sanctuary. We recommend choosing nutritious meals and eating enough to maintain your energy throughout the trek.
  • Please inform us in advance if you have special dietary requirements. We will do our best to accommodate them, although options may be more limited at higher elevations.

Read our detail blog about the meals and drinks in ABC Trail.

Drinking Water and Beverages

  • Safe drinking water is important throughout the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. Bottled, boiled, filtered, and treated water is available at different points along the route.
  • We recommend carrying a reusable water bottle and using properly treated drinking water rather than consuming untreated tap or stream water. Water purification tablets or a personal filtration system can also be useful during the trek.
  • Tea, coffee, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, bottled water, and other personal drinks are generally not included in the trek package unless specifically mentioned. These items can be purchased at the teahouses along the route.
  • To reduce plastic waste in the mountains, we encourage trekkers to use refillable bottles whenever possible.

Transportation During the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

  • The 14-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek includes the necessary ground transportation from your arrival in Kathmandu until your departure.
  • All scheduled airport transfers and Kathmandu sightseeing transportation are provided in private tourist vehicles. The journey between Kathmandu and Pokhara is typically made by tourist bus, offering scenic views of Nepal's hills, rivers, towns, and countryside.
  • Private transportation is arranged between Pokhara and the trekking trailhead, including transfers to the trek's starting point and from the trekking region back to Pokhara.

Transportation Included in the Itinerary

  • Airport pickup and drop-off in Kathmandu.
  • Private vehicle for Kathmandu sightseeing.
  • Tourist bus between Kathmandu and Pokhara.
  • Private transportation between Pokhara and the trekking trailhead.
  • Private return transfer from the trekking exit point to Pokhara.

If you prefer to avoid the longer road journey between Kathmandu and Pokhara, domestic flight or private vehicle upgrades are available at an additional cost, subject to availability.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek Guide and Porter

  • Your trek is led by an experienced, government-licensed trekking guide who is familiar with the Annapurna region, trail conditions, local culture, and high-altitude trekking procedures. Your guide will manage the daily trekking schedule, coordinate accommodation and meals, monitor the group's well-being, and provide assistance throughout the journey.
  • For larger groups, an assistant guide is provided to offer additional support and help maintain a comfortable trekking pace.
  • Porter service is also included in the trek. One porter is generally assigned to two trekkers and carries approximately 20–22 kg of combined luggage, allowing each trekker to pack around 10–11 kg in the shared porter.
  • We recommend keeping essential items such as water, sunscreen, camera, valuables, rain gear, and personal medication in your daypack while trekking.
  • All wages, meals, accommodation, insurance, and necessary equipment for the trekking staff are included in the package.

Preparing for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Good preparation will make your Annapurna Base Camp Trek more enjoyable. Although the trek does not require technical climbing experience, you will walk for several consecutive days on mountain terrain and reach an altitude of 4,130 meters.

Fitness Level Required

  • The trek is suitable for travelers with reasonable fitness who are comfortable walking for approximately 5–7 hours a day. The trail includes uphill and downhill sections, stone staircases, uneven paths, and varying terrain.
  • You do not need to be an athlete, but improving your endurance before the trek will make the experience more comfortable.

Recommended Training

Start preparing few weeks before your trek, depending on your current fitness level. Useful activities include:

  • Regular walking or hiking.
  • Stair climbing.
  • Jogging, cycling, or swimming.
  • Longer weekend hikes with a small backpack.
  • Leg-strengthening exercises such as squats and lunges.

Try to gradually increase the duration and intensity of your training rather than doing intense exercise immediately before departure.

Our Tips Before the Trek

  • Break in your trekking boots before arriving in Nepal.
  • Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet.
  • Get adequate rest before beginning the trek.
  • Inform us in advance about any dietary requirements or relevant medical concerns.
  • Purchase appropriate travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation.

A steady pace, good preparation, and a positive mindset are more important than speed on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.

Altitude and Acclimatization on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

  • Annapurna Base Camp is located at 4,130 meters (13,550 feet), making altitude an important consideration during the trek. As you gain elevation, the amount of available oxygen decreases, and your body needs time to adapt.
  • The itinerary follows a gradual route through the Annapurna region, allowing your body to adjust naturally as you move from lower villages toward the Annapurna Sanctuary. However, every trekker responds to altitude differently.

Common Symptoms of Altitude Sickness

Mild symptoms may include:

  • Headache
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Unusual tiredness
  • Difficulty sleeping

If you experience any symptoms, inform your trekking guide immediately. Do not ignore symptoms or continue ascending if they become worse.

How to Reduce the Risk

  • Walk at a comfortable and steady pace.
  • Stay well hydrated.
  • Eat regular meals.
  • Avoid rushing to gain altitude.
  • Avoid excessive alcohol consumption at higher elevations.
  • Listen to your guide and communicate honestly about how you feel.

Your guide carries a first-aid kit and can monitor oxygen saturation using an oximeter when necessary. If altitude symptoms become serious or worsen, descending to a lower elevation is the safest course of action. Your health and safety are always more important than reaching the destination.

Safety During the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a well-established trekking route. However, it is still a high-altitude mountain journey where weather and trail conditions can change. Your safety is supported through experienced trekking staff, careful itinerary planning, and regular monitoring throughout the journey.

  • Safety Measures During the Trek
  • Experienced, government-licensed trekking guide.
  • Assistant guide support for larger groups.
  • First-aid kit carried by the trekking team.
  • Pulse oximeter available for monitoring oxygen saturation when required.
  • Regular attention to weather and trail conditions.
  • Flexible pacing based on the group's condition.
  • Emergency helicopter evacuation arrangements when medically necessary, subject to travel insurance coverage.

We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance that covers high-altitude trekking, medical treatment, and emergency helicopter evacuation. The best way to stay safe is to trek responsibly, maintain a comfortable pace, stay hydrated, and inform your guide immediately if you feel unwell.

Wi-Fi, Electricity and Charging on the Trek

  • Wi-Fi and charging facilities are available at many teahouses along the Annapurna Base Camp route. Still, availability and reliability vary by location and altitude.
  • Wi-Fi is generally more accessible in lower villages and may become slower or unavailable at higher elevations. Where available, internet access is usually offered for an additional charge.
  • Charging facilities are available at many lodges, often for an additional fee. Because electricity can be limited in remote areas, we recommend carrying a fully charged power bank for your phone, camera, or other essential devices.
  • It is also a good idea to download important maps, travel documents, and entertainment before starting the trek, as internet connectivity cannot be guaranteed throughout the journey.

Best Time for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek can be completed in most months of the year. Still, weather, temperatures, trail conditions, and mountain visibility vary significantly by season. For most trekkers, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the most favorable conditions. These seasons generally provide a good balance of comfortable daytime temperatures, clearer mountain views, and stable trekking conditions.

However, the best time ultimately depends on your preferences. Spring is ideal for rhododendron blooms and warmer temperatures; autumn is known for clear mountain views; winter offers quieter trails but colder conditions; and the monsoon brings greener landscapes with more rain.

  • Spring (March, April and May): Spring is one of the most popular seasons for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The forests become colorful with blooming rhododendrons, temperatures gradually rise, and the mountain scenery is spectacular.
  • Autumn (September, October, and November): Autumn is another excellent time to trek. Following the monsoon, the air is often clearer, offering excellent views of Annapurna, Machhapuchhre, Dhaulagiri, and surrounding peaks.
  • Winter (December, January and February): Winter trekking is possible for travelers prepared for cold temperatures and possible snowfall at higher elevations. The trails are generally quieter, but warm clothing and flexible planning are essential.
  • Monsoon (June, July and August): The monsoon season brings frequent rainfall, greener landscapes, and fewer trekkers. Trails can be wet and slippery, while clouds may limit mountain views. However, it can still be an enjoyable experience for well-prepared trekkers.

Nepal Travel Information

Our FAQs

FAQs

General

Our standard Annapurna Base Camp Trek takes 14 days from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. This itinerary includes Kathmandu sightseeing, travel to Pokhara, the trek through Ghorepani and Poon Hill, Annapurna Base Camp, and the return journey to Kathmandu.

The trekking distance for this 14-day itinerary is approximately 85–90 km, depending on the specific trail and short road transfers. Most trekking days involve 5–7 hours of walking, with daily distances varying depending on the terrain and route.

Road journeys between Kathmandu, Pokhara, and the trekking trailhead are not included in the trekking-distance figure.

Annapurna Base Camp is located in the Annapurna Sanctuary in central Nepal, within the Annapurna region. Pokhara is the main gateway for the trek, and the 14-day itinerary begins and ends in Kathmandu.

Our 14-day itinerary starts in Kathmandu. After sightseeing and traveling to Pokhara, we continue by road to the trekking trailhead around Nayapul/Birethanti, where the walking portion of the trek begins.

Best Time, Weather and Temperature

The best seasons for the Annapurna region are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). Nepal Tourism Board identifies these as the best seasons for the Annapurna Conservation Area.

Spring is particularly attractive for rhododendron blooms, while autumn generally offers dry trails and clear mountain views after the monsoon.

Yes, the trek is possible in winter. Still, conditions can be colder, and snowfall may require higher sections of the route to be avoided.

Winter trekkers should be prepared for freezing temperatures, shorter daylight hours, and potentially snowy or icy trails around the higher parts of the Annapurna Sanctuary.

Yes, but June to August brings more rain, cloud cover, and wetter, slipperier trails, particularly at lower elevations.
If you trek during the monsoon, conditions can change quickly, and mountain views may be limited. Your guide will monitor trail and weather conditions throughout the journey.

Difficulty, Fitness and Preparation

Annapurna Base Camp trek is achievable with some preparation. You can start with some pre-trek exercise by walking or jogging, and when you are on the trek, pace yourself, stay hydrated, and allow your body to acclimatize naturally. You will genuinely be surprised how smooth the trek feels when you make some preparations and take your time!

No. Previous trekking or high-altitude experience is not essential for the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. However, you should have a reasonable level of fitness and be prepared to walk for several hours on consecutive days.

Regular walking, hiking, stair climbing, or cardio training before the trek can help improve your endurance. First-time trekkers should maintain a steady pace, stay hydrated, and follow their guide's advice throughout the journey.

Accommodation, Food and Drinks

You will stay in hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara and local teahouses/lodges during the trek.

Most trekking accommodation is simple and comfortable, with twin-sharing rooms where available. At higher locations such as Dovan and Annapurna Base Camp, accommodation may be limited to shared or dormitory-style rooms because facilities are more limited.

Yes. Vegetarian meals are widely available along the route. Vegan and other specific dietary requirements can usually be accommodated, but choices may become more limited at higher elevations. Please inform us about your dietary requirements before the trek so we can coordinate with the lodges.

Teahouses serve a variety of meals, including traditional Nepali dishes such as dal bhat as well as rice, noodles, pasta, soup, potatoes, eggs, vegetables, and other common trekking meals.

Food choices become more limited at higher elevations, so we recommend maintaining a balanced diet and eating enough to support several hours of walking each day.

Yes. Water is available at teahouses and settlements along the trail.

We recommend carrying a reusable water bottle and using boiled, filtered, or properly treated water rather than relying on untreated tap or stream water. The Nepal Tourism Board also recommends bottled, boiled, and filtered water for travelers.

Private bathrooms are available in some lower-elevation lodges, but shared bathrooms are common, especially at higher elevations.

Accommodation becomes more basic as you approach Annapurna Base Camp, where facilities are limited.

Internet, WiFi, Electricity and Telephone

Wi-Fi is available at some teahouses, particularly at lower elevations, usually for an additional charge. Connectivity becomes less reliable the higher you go, and service may be limited or unavailable around Annapurna Base Camp.

It is best to expect intermittent connectivity rather than continuous internet access.

Charging facilities are available at many teahouses, usually for an additional fee. Availability can become more limited at higher elevations.
We recommend carrying a power bank and spare batteries, particularly if you use your phone or camera frequently.

Permits and Entrance

The trek requires the applicable Annapurna Conservation Area entry permit and TIMS card. Your trekking agency arranges the required permits and documentation before you enter the trekking area.

Guide and Staff

Yes. Under Nepal's current trekking regulations, the Poon Hill–ABC route requires trekkers to be accompanied by a licensed trekking guide and to carry an agency-issued TIMS card.

When you book with Outfitter Himalaya, we arrange the licensed guide, required trekking documentation, and other necessary logistics for your journey.

Altitude and Acclimatization

Yes. Because Annapurna Base Camp reaches 4,130 meters, altitude sickness is an important consideration.

Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, unusual tiredness, nausea, and shortness of breath. Walk at a comfortable pace, stay hydrated, eat regularly, and tell your guide immediately if you develop symptoms.

If symptoms become serious or worsen, descending to a lower elevation is the safest course of action.

The itinerary gains elevation progressively rather than taking you directly to Annapurna Base Camp.

Your guide will monitor your condition, encourage a steady walking pace, and advise you on hydration, rest, and altitude awareness. You should never ignore symptoms or continue ascending if you are becoming seriously unwell.

Height and Distance

Annapurna Base Camp is located at 4,130 meters (13,550 feet) above sea level. The trek reaches its highest point at ABC after a gradual ascent through the Annapurna Sanctuary.

Because the route reaches above 4,000 meters, proper pacing, hydration, and awareness of altitude-related symptoms are important.

Family and Age

Children can participate if they are fit, accustomed to walking, and accompanied by responsible adults.

Because the trek involves several hours of walking, elevation gain, and changing mountain conditions, suitability should be assessed based on the individual child's fitness and experience rather than age alone. For younger children, a private itinerary offers greater flexibility.

There is no universal age limit for the trek. Fitness, health, previous walking experience, and the ability to handle several consecutive days on mountain trails are more important considerations.

Families traveling with children or older trekkers should discuss their requirements with the trekking agency before booking.
