Snowy landscapes are everywhere, but the risks of altitude sickness and frostbite are present. Warm clothing and proper precautions are essential.
1. The Annapurna Base Camp trekking group involves a lot of hiking and is not considered easy, as daily walks last 6 to 8 hours. Therefore, a good level of strength, endurance, and fitness is required. Remember to undertake sufficient physical training after registration.
2. Each date requires a minimum of 08 participants to form a group. After the group is confirmed, we will submit the necessary information to apply for climbing permits and add all members to a WhatsApp group.
3. When trekking at high altitudes, it is essential to minimize the risk of altitude sickness by keeping warm, ensuring adequate sleep, and maintaining a positive mental state.
4. If there are not enough participants to form a group on the selected date, we will notify you 60 days before departure, and you can choose from the following options:
4.1) Transfer to another confirmed date.
4.2) Receive a full refund.
4.3) Form a private group and still participate on the selected date. There will be no AVIDER Chinese-speaking guide, but a local guide will be present. We will assist in organizing and briefing the group to ensure you have all the necessary information (an additional fee may apply for the shortfall in participants).
5. Do not purchase flight tickets until you have received confirmation about the group formation. Only proceed with booking if you are prepared to travel independently in case the group does not form.
Porter Guidelines & Precautions
The package includes a porter service, with a 14kg limit per person.
The porter ratio is 1:2.
The guide will provide waterproof bags the day before the trek.
You can store all your gear in the porter’s waterproof bag and carry only essential items in your own backpack.
Had an amazing ABC Trek experience with Avider!
The whole trip was very well organised, and the service throughout was excellent. A special thanks to our guide, Shu Hua, and porter team for being so caring, patient, helpful, and encouraging every step of the way.
Despite some unexpected issues before the trek, the team handled everything professionally and made sure we were well taken care of.
Highly recommend Avider for anyone planning the trekking / hiking trip. Thank you for making this such a memorable journey!
my trip to ABC was nothing short of amazing. Avider was very responsive to my enquiries before the trip, and everything from the preparation to the end went smoothly. team leader Jia Cheng, was well-organised, supportive, and even took pretty photos of everyone, which made the experience even more memorable.

和我們超棒的領隊Han一起，體驗很棒！我們全都成功抵達了美妙的ABC！
Great experiences with our superb Leader Han! We all did it to the wonderful place ABC!
I joined the Annapurna Base Camp trek with some self-doubt, but it turned into one of the most fulfilling journeys I’ve ever had. The Avider leader (Eugene) and local guides (special mention to Ranjit) were attentive, ensuring safety, comfort, and even personal meal preferences. The pacing was well managed—no rush, just steady progress for everyone to reach each destination together. Beyond the physical challenge, it was a spiritual experience that helped me untie my mental knots. I’m grateful I did it at my age. Highly recommend Avider to all adventure seekers and anyone wanting to discover their inner strength. A big shoutout to my trekking mates, Eugene and Ranjit and his team. 😆
Only good things to say. No complaints throughout my ABC journey with Avider.
This is a hiking/trekking agency lead by a few young, energetic people and a little crazy in all the right way. It was very fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
Kudos to our mountain guides (Suman & Akash) and all porters for making our journey easier and safer. Even sharing their festive nights with us instead of their families.
Our leaders (Sam & HuiYee) also handled our outrageous requests well. We were a crazy bunch and they matched our energy well and I think that is a quality very few people can do.
To me, travelling with like minded people is very important and if you like hiking/trekking, the people in Avider is the exact accompany you wanna go on a journey with.
Joined the ABC trekking trip on 17-28 Oct, it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences and everything was well-organised!
Huge shoutout to our group leader YU JIN, who somehow managed to guide us, he was incredibly patient, friendly and attentive throughout the whole journey. He helped us to take a lot of great photos too!
His calm guidance made the entire trek feel smooth and enjoyable. I really, really appreciate all his effort and dedication.
If YU JIN is leading, you know the trip is going to be good & amazing! 💚🏔️
