Fees for guides and porters are typically negotiable and can be arranged through our trekking agencies.

Choose Budget-Friendly Accommodation: Along the trekking trail, you’ll find a range of tea houses and guesthouses offering budget-friendly accommodation options. While the cost may vary depending on the season and quality of facilities, there are plenty of affordable choices available to suit your budget.
Secure Necessary Permits: Ensure you obtain the required permits for the trek, including the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) card. These permits can be obtained through local trekking agencies in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
