Trekking

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the most famous, and the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is the most popular moderate option. Poon Hill is the best short trek, and the Annapurna Circuit and Manaslu Circuit are the best long adventures.

Ghorepani Poon Hill (4–5 days) is the best first trek. Annapurna Base Camp is a great next step, and fit beginners who train well regularly complete Everest Base Camp.

October–November is the best season, followed by March–May. Winter suits lower treks, and the June–September monsoon is best for rain-shadow routes such as Upper Mustang.

Guided treks on InTicketo start from around US$1,099 for the 12-day Annapurna Base Camp Trek and US$1,485 for the 14-day Everest Base Camp Trek. International flights, visa, insurance, tips and personal spending are usually extra. See our Everest Base Camp cost breakdown.

Yes, on most routes. A licensed guide is now required on most trekking routes inside national parks and conservation areas, and always in restricted areas. All InTicketo treks include a licensed guide.

It depends on the region: the Everest region needs the Sagarmatha National Park permit and the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu fee, the Annapurna region needs ACAP, Langtang needs the Langtang National Park permit, and restricted areas need special permits through an agency. Our treks include the permits listed on each trip page.

For easy treks, good general fitness is enough. For high treks such as Everest Base Camp, aim for 2–3 months of regular walking, stair climbing and day hikes with a pack. Pace and acclimatisation matter more than speed.

A teahouse trek means you stay in family-run mountain lodges along the trail instead of camping. Teahouses offer simple rooms, a warm dining room and hot meals, so you only carry a daypack if a porter takes your main bag.

Ascend gradually, take the acclimatisation days in your itinerary, drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol at altitude and tell your guide about any symptoms. If symptoms get worse, descend.

Ghorepani Poon Hill (4–5 days), Mardi Himal (5–7 days), Dhampus and Australian Camp (1–2 days), Langtang Valley (about 7 days) and the Everest View Trek to Namche Bazaar (5–7 days).

Yes. In winter, choose lower treks such as Poon Hill, as high passes can close after snow. In the monsoon, rain-shadow treks such as Upper Mustang stay drier, while most other routes are wet and cloudy.

Yes. Choose a policy that covers trekking to your maximum altitude and emergency helicopter evacuation.

Yes. A porter can carry your main bag between teahouses, so you walk with only a light daypack. Ask us to add one to your trek.

Most teahouses on popular routes offer Wi-Fi and phone charging, usually for a small fee, though higher villages may be slower or limited. Bring a power bank.

Yes. Most of our treks can run privately on your own dates, with your own guide and porter. Contact us on WhatsApp (+977 9712067531).
