I completed this trek in December of last year, entirely on my own (solo), finishing it within just six days. I highly recommend that everyone consider taking on this must-do trek, and if possible, embark on it solo.
Completed it June 2018. I however, do not recommend solo trek. When I was decending, I reached a point where I got lost a little and had to go through a gushing river with a log acting as a bridge. If I fall, noone will know I died there. But that became a story to tell. Lol. I guess June being the low season without much trekker on the road didn't help either.
Wow, that's the year we were born. ABC would have been such a raw experience then. 😍 Definitely worth doing it again, especially to see how far along the trails might have come. 😀 And glad that you liked the video Sir! 🙌
Superb video guide. Systematic, 5-Star voice clarity, crisp yet complete, appropriate visuals. Pl suggest the fitness regime for a 64 years, of course not asking for shortcuts. Keep it up 👍
Thank you so much for your kind words! Really appreciate it! Glad you liked the video, Sir. I am happy that at 64 you are willing to attempt this trek. And it is very much doable. We are not per se so we might not necessarily be best suited to give you a fitness regime. Even though in the video, I have mentioned 10km in 60 minutes as the cut-off. If you do 5km in 30 minutes that is also good enough. Maybe you can start with walking daily, then jogging and condition your body to somewhere around 5km in 30 minutes mark. Additionally, you can choose to take a couple days extra on the trek to make sure you do not overexert your body. Also, hire a porter to carry your backpack. Between all these things I think you should be good to go. Hope this helps! 😀
The best guide to any trek/country i have ever seen. Such detailed information with beautiful animations. Just a small suggestion, to cut 3-4 small clips of this long video so that you can get more people to watch this. Overall the best guide ever. I really like the personal ratings section.
Hey Pratik! Thanks so much man for appreciating our efforts and taking time out to comment and help us out! Means a ton! We have made few shorts and reels from our trip! They weren't exactly clips of this video but from our experience. We are falling short on editing videos right now, but suggestion taken and will try and play around clipping this video itself in future for more content and reaching more people! Cheers! 🤙🏼
Between 2010-12, I did this trek twice without guide / porters. Once with 4 other trekkers (did AC also)and 2nd time solo. From ABC, reached Pokhra in 2 days. One of the best treks. Have done quite a few treks in Nepal. BTW, great video.
Unreal! The perfect guide for ABC on the internet! Hats off for documenting each detail in such clear format and structuring it so well! 🙌🏽🙏🏽 Mad respect! 🫡
Hey, the company we went with just acted as the middlemen and passed the lead on to a local agency. The person who is running the local agency is Mr. Subeed (Ph. No. +91 9886274292). Gyalje Sherpa works with him.
Thank you so much! 💛 Means a ton to hear this and thank you for appreciating the efforts! Do help us grow the channel by subscribing! Will go a long way 🙌🏽
Thank you so much for letting us know and very glad that it wad helpful! Unfortunately we haven’t done the Langtang trek to be able to make a reliable guide like this for it! Hopefully soon in future 😄
The cost of guide & porter is per person or fixed which can be split among the group of Trekkers. Can we also add poon hill to the Itenirary. Pls guide. TIA
There is a minimum cost per person for the Guide and the porter. However, if there is a group, the cost does go up but not in the multiples per person rather the Guide will charge a lump sum for the entire group and it can be split amongst all of you. Same with the porters. Don’t have info about Poon hill. If nearby, you can definitely request your guide for the same
Hey, I have one doubt..initially you said guide is mandatory and in the last you said you dont need guide if you are experienced enough and can DIY. please clarify
Yes, you are right. Actually until earlier this year trekkers were allowed to do this trek themselves. However, after the latest guidelines from Nepal Tourism Board, it is mandatory to do the trek with a locally registered guide.
Glad you found the video helpful. Thank you! ABC is the only trek we have done so far in Nepal. won't be able to answer the question from personal experience. 😅
Thanks so much for appreciating! 🙌🏽 The trail passes through multiple settlements and villages. So you will be able to follow it. Also it is well marked on All Trails so you can use offline GPS to find your way. And you can keep asking locals for directions as you will keep meeting people on the trail.
Thank you so much for this video. It is very helpful to plan things. I have a few questions... please help me with that.. 1. Is early June a good month for this trek? 2. Is it now mandatory to have a guide while on this trek? 3. Are there any changes in the permit registration process now? 4. Tried to contact the guide whose number you have provided but, call didn't go through. Please help with the alternatives by which we connect with this guide or any other guide even before leaving from India for the trek. Please do reply.
Glad you found this video helpful. 😊 1) Not really. It will be the rainy season in Nepal. And it will last until mid to end of September. I went in October and it rained for almost 3 days continuously. 2) Yes, it is mandatory for a registered guide to accompany you for ABC. 3) As far as I know, there aren't any changes to get a permit. 4) Feel free to contact Subeed Ji (+91 9886274292). Gyalje Sherpa works with him. Hope this helps.
Very informative and helpful video! I think this is one of the most densely packed videos on the ABC trek I have seen. Thank you. I don't mind getting a guide as this will be my first time in Nepal but I am concerned it may be difficult to find a guide service that will not try and charge me for many extras and other services I don't need. I will be there in a week. Is the guide you recommended still working there? I was planning to find one in Pokhara when I get there vs trying to find something online. I bought a sleeping bag but do you think its not necessary? Perhaps I will use on other treks but it does add weight and bulk on the hike so should I leave at the hotel and not take it w me on the ABC?
Glad you liked the video. 😀 As for your queries, yes you can find a guide in Pokhara. You can check with your stay, most probably they should be able to get it done. But try and have a few days buffer in case you are getting the guide from Pokhara. Otherwise, you can contact the guide from the video. If his number doesn't work, feel free to contact Subeed Ji (+91 9886274292). You do not need a sleeping bag on this trek. You will find proper tea houses to stay in everywhere. However, do make sure to wear clothing in layers to keep yourself warm at night.
Can you please share more information regarding permits, if it's possible to get it in Pokhara or Katmandu, duration to get it. Thank you would be really helpful
Hey, just keep a day or two as buffer before the trip and that should be enough to sort your permits. And yes you can get them done both in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Also, do look up the National Tourism Board's website for up-to-date details.
Nope. It is now mandatory for you to hire a registered guide to be able to trek in any of the Nepal's reserved forests. Hiring a porter is more of a convenience call for your sake. Hope this helps!
Haha, yes I did. But the trek will be a breeze then and you would thoroughly enjoy it. If you may not have a certain baseline fitness you will still be able to complete. But you would get tired a lot and it may take away from the experience, You can check my vlog on Annapurna to understand what I mean. 😅
Hey Prajakta, there are tea houses available throughout the trek, including at the ABC. You can very well stay in the tea houses at ABC, just be mindful that it will a little colder. 😊
I am happy that at 60 you are willing to attempt this trek. And it is very much doable. Do note, we are not experts per se so we might not necessarily be best suited to give you a fitness regime. But the following holds true in our experience. Even though in the video, I have mentioned 10km in 60 minutes as the cut-off, if you do 5km in 30 minutes that is also good enough. Maybe you can start with walking daily, then jogging and condition your body to somewhere around 5km in 30 minutes mark. Additionally, you can choose to take a couple days extra on the trek to make sure you do not overexert your body. Also, hire a porter to carry your backpack. Between all these things I think you should be good to go. Hope this helps! 😀
You're welcome. The organization we did it with just acted as the middleman and passed on the lead. In the video, you will find the number for the guide Gyalje Sherpa, who took us on this trek. 😀
Yes, hiring a locally registered guide is a mandate now. However, might prove to be a tough time to do the trek because of the snow. I would recommend it only if you are a seasoned trekker and are aware of all the pitfalls that come with it.
We went with Bikat Adventures. They had passed the on-ground operation and trek to a local guide from Nepal. You can directly contact some local agencies you find from google maps to get a guide.
Yes, Nepal Tourism Board has mandated to do any trek in a conservation area accompanies with a registered guide. ABC will also fall in that category. You can get the guide from Pokhara itself. Ask your stay and they will point you towards the office or you can alternatively sort out the guide and permits online on Nepal Tourism Board's website.
Yes there are tea houses along the entire route and you do not need any pre-bookings for them. However, if you are going in peak season, there is a slight possibility that at some of the smaller establishments you do not find space so just be prepared for that.
Hey, it has been enforced. You will have to undertake the services of a locally registered guide and get your permits sorted before you start the trek. 😅
Hey, it totally depends on your budget really. And if budget isn't a constraint then as mentioned in the video taking a flight to Kathmandu and then another to Pokhara really is your best bet. Hope this helps. 🙂
Do you need TIMS card for the ABC trek ? and being an Indian, are passport and travel insurance mandatory for this trek as i got to see online in the TIMS form .
Yes, TIMS will be required for doing ABC. If you hire the guide in advance, they can take care of that for you. For TIMS form itself, during my time only the passport details were needed. Not the travel insurance. I would still recommend that you confirm with the guide about that before hand.
A gold standard of how a UA-cam video guide shud be , well explained!😊
Hahaha thank you so much for that kind compliment 🙌🏽💛
I completed this trek in December of last year, entirely on my own (solo), finishing it within just six days. I highly recommend that everyone consider taking on this must-do trek, and if possible, embark on it solo.
Yep, definitely quite the beauty. It being commercial, definitely helps the newer trekkers as well! 🙌
Completed it June 2018. I however, do not recommend solo trek. When I was decending, I reached a point where I got lost a little and had to go through a gushing river with a log acting as a bridge. If I fall, noone will know I died there. But that became a story to tell. Lol. I guess June being the low season without much trekker on the road didn't help either.
How was the weather in December?
@@MrGoo189 how was the weather? Was it rainy?
Can Indians trek alone to ABC, is it compulsory to hire a guide?
You promised a comprehensive guide, and you kept that promise. Five out of five stars.
Glad you found it helpful. Stay subscribed and have a wonderful trek!! 😀
I'm going to Nepal in April and this video is just what i was looking for. Thank you 🙏😊
Stay at Kyukul hotel and restro highly recommend! Takes about 3 days from there to Annapurna base camp as it’s close up the mountain.

Simply fantastic explanation about ABC trek. I did this trek in the year 1996, would like to do this trek again.
Wow, that's the year we were born. ABC would have been such a raw experience then. 😍
Definitely worth doing it again, especially to see how far along the trails might have come. 😀
And glad that you liked the video Sir! 🙌

Hello! I have a question if you book a guide do they also make sure you have a place to sleep in the teahouses?
Hiring a locally registered guide is compulsory now. And yes they try to take care of the bookings so that you have a seamless experience. 😀
Can u tell do porters cover luggage with some water proof material while carrying?
They will most likely won't have any cover and will make do with whatever plastic covers are available. Best is you carry it with you before hand.
Awesome video

I am sixty years of age. Can I afford doing this? I am physically fit and had two trekking experiences to Amarnath and Tapovan. Please advise.
I am happy that at 60 you are willing to attempt this trek. And it is very much doable.
Do note, we are not experts per se so we might not necessarily be best suited to give you a fitness regime. But the following holds true in our experience. Even though in the video, I have mentioned 10km in 60 minutes as the cut-off, if you do 5km in 30 minutes that is also good enough. Maybe you can start with walking daily, then jogging and condition your body to somewhere around 5km in 30 minutes mark.
Additionally, you can choose to take a couple days extra on the trek to make sure you do not overexert your body. Also, hire a porter
to carry your backpack. Between all these things I think you should be good to go.
Hope this helps! 😀
Thanks for the infos. Which travel agency to join?
You're welcome. The organization we did it with just acted as the middleman and passed on the lead.
In the video, you will find the number for the guide Gyalje Sherpa, who took us on this trek. 😀
Hello !! Tried that given number but it’s not working , I think you missed one digit
Hey, the number is alright, but he can be off-grid sometimes while leading the trek. Try Subeed Ji (+91 9886274292), Gyalje Sherpa works with him.
Very Very informative and helpful 🎉

May i check if Trekking guide rules is enforced now? I planning to be in Dec’23
Yes, hiring a locally registered guide is a mandate now. However, might prove to be a tough time to do the trek because of the snow.
I would recommend it only if you are a seasoned trekker and are aware of all the pitfalls that come with it.
Hay , can u recommend some agencies or organisations to trekking with.
We went with Bikat Adventures. They had passed the on-ground operation and trek to a local guide from Nepal.
You can directly contact some local agencies you find from google maps to get a guide.
@@XploreTheEarth thanks a lot
Is there any bindings on hiring guides now? ( sept 2024) plz let me know
Yes, Nepal Tourism Board has mandated to do any trek in a conservation area accompanies with a registered guide. ABC will also fall in that category. You can get the guide from Pokhara itself. Ask your stay and they will point you towards the office or you can alternatively sort out the guide and permits online on Nepal Tourism Board's website.
We are planning for this trek in October, can i get hotels on the way of trekking without package
Yes there are tea houses along the entire route and you do not need any pre-bookings for them. However, if you are going in peak season, there is a slight possibility that at some of the smaller establishments you do not find space so just be prepared for that.
Hi. The license guide requirement has been impossed or not?
Hey, it has been enforced. You will have to undertake the services of a locally registered guide and get your permits sorted before you start the trek. 😅
We 4 ladies planning to start fm 18th october... wl take a porter fm Pokhra..
Pls suggest a best way to reach without hindrance
Hey, it totally depends on your budget really. And if budget isn't a constraint then as mentioned in the video taking a flight to Kathmandu and then another to Pokhara really is your best bet. Hope this helps. 🙂
Do you need TIMS card for the ABC trek ? and being an Indian, are passport and travel insurance mandatory for this trek as i got to see online in the TIMS form .
Yes, TIMS will be required for doing ABC. If you hire the guide in advance, they can take care of that for you.
For TIMS form itself, during my time only the passport details were needed. Not the travel insurance. I would still recommend that you confirm with the guide about that before hand.
Sir kya passport jaruri hai?
Passport or Voter ID, either of those things work. But I would still recommend passport as the first preference.
Can you suggest any trek that is suitable for beginners?
In India, treks like Dayara Bugayal and Bhrigu Lake will be perfect for a beginner! 😀
