The trek to Annapurna Base Camp was quite a joy! Our group of 12 was very well taken care of by Saligram and his crew from Mountain World Treks. As expected, for a group that size, there was a range of abilities and needs. Clearly he’s seen that before and was able to calmly and cheerfully shepherd us up the mountain. Our trip was from Nov 28th to Dec 12th and included 10 days of trekking. The weather was just right – not too hot or too cold – with quite manageable nighttime lows. Clear views afforded beautiful photographic opportunities. Be prepared for many portions of the trail to be rocky, and steep. Good shoes, good conditioning, and good hiking poles are highly recommended.
