Due to the sheer popularity of ABC, the hiking routes are well built, and with proper equipment and gear, the trek can be achieved with ease.
We walk through the beautiful rhododendron forest, climbing many steps, crossing many hills, observing the cultures, tasting food, resting, taking photographs, and gossiping with locals (Magar and Gurung ethnic groups).
ABC trek is the best for novice trekkers since this route has highly facilitated hotels and motels with good restaurants. Thus, making it also good for family holidays.

Tibet Tour Experience
Our itinerary then takes us to Tibet. We move to the capital, Lhasa, on our first day. The journey from here on out will be relatively easy. We won’t be trekking above 4,000 meters, so the altitude won’t be an issue.

Best time for Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Tibet Tour
The best time to trek to Annapurna Base Camp is during spring and autumn. Trekkers flock to Nepal during these two months. They are considered the peak trekking season in the country.
Autumn comes right after the monsoon. The weather in Nepal is crisp and clear. It’s perfect for a photographic journey in the Himalayas. Besides, the temperatures during said season stay at a welcoming scale, neither too hot nor too cold.
Before monsoon summer hits Nepal, the Himalayan nation goes through Spring. As the snow starts to melt off, the temperature starts to get warmer in the area.
We could try to climb up the base camp during winter, but we face many challenges during winter treks. Freezing tempretures is a norm during winter
Summer and monsoon are to be avoided. Not only is the trail muddy and slippery, but most teahouses remain closed during summer. The risk of landslides and mudslides is very real during the monsoon.
So, book the Annapurna Base Camp trek with the Tibet tour during spring or autumn. Pre-booking helps you ensure you get all the accommodations on the trek.
