Tour provider's comments

The trek is generally considered easier than other treks in Nepal. Anyone in good physical shape who can walk for 6-7 hours a day can successfully complete it. While prior trekking experience is not necessary, having some can be beneficial.

Popular trekking spots in the Annapurna Region, such as Ghorepani Poonhill, Jomsom, and Muktinath, are excellent choices for first-time trekkers.

Difficulty  
Individuals with moderate fitness levels can easily undertake this trek. The chances of experiencing altitude sickness during the Trek are significantly lower than those on the Everest trek. The itinerary is designed to allow proper acclimatization. This trek is also suitable for families with children and older adults. Additionally, no previous trekking experience is required. The highest point reached during the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is 4,130 meters above sea level.
