About
Annapurna Himalayas is one of the most iconic landmarks in Nepal. As such, the trails to the south of these mountains also house exciting trekking adventures. Similarly, Rapid Annapurna Base Camp Trek explores these trails which have plenty of natural and cultural beauty. The trek follows the popular trails through the Annapurna Conservation Area. Likewise, this short trek is best for those with limited days to explore Nepal. Trekkers can also enjoy the views of mountains like Annapurna I (8091m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), and Fishtail (6993m).
Firstly, the trip begins as you arrive in Kathmandu and prepare for the trip. Next, you head towards the City of Lakes Pokhara. You can explore the vibrant streets of Pokhara and boat on the Phewa Lake. Then, you drive to Phedi and begin the trek officially. Heading north from Phedi, you trek to Tolka. The trail passes along Gurung and Magar villages en route to Tolka. Further, the trek continues along the Chhomrong River and settles at Chhomrong.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Mancinitravel0 contributionsAnnapurna base camp reviewHimalayan Adventure Tours and treks went above and beyond to make our visit to Nepal an unforgettable experience. They were waiting for us at the airport and were always available to answer our questions. They provided us with a knowledgeable guide, Bharat, and a very helpful porter, Sudip. Thank you, Bhagwat, for everything. We hope to come back and if we are able we will definitely book through your company.Written October 14, 2024
- Mia_the_explorerr0 contributionsAwesome Nepal Experience as a solo female traveler!I just finished a tour with this company and I had a wonderful time! It was the 8 days tour to Kathmandu-Nagakot-Pokhara-Chitwan and back to Kathmandu and had a great time as a solo female traveler. I felt safe, never felt lonely, things were arranged on time and always communicated to me by the owner via WhatsApp, so it made things easier for me while traveling alone. My guide, Badri, in Kathmandu was amazing! He knows his stuff, enjoys what he does and knows the good spots to take you around. Kudos to him for being patient with me while I stopped and took pictures of EVERRYYYTHING lol. Kazi, my driver, throughout all destinations, was hands down superb. One of the best! He was always attentive to my requests making sure I was OK or if I needed a bathroom break or food. I do appreciate that. Not once did I feel endangered or concerned, if anything, I was always in a good mood and excited for the next destination! I would definitely recommend taking this tour if you feel a week is all you can do. Nonetheless, if there’s more time, this company has TONS of great package deals that I would recommend from this company. The owner is always attentive and communicative in the event you have any questions or concerns. Again, I can’t stress that I felt safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. I would choose them again for another occasion. THANK YOU! Namaste 🙏🏼Written October 8, 2024
- salongrecot0 contributionsAmazing Adventure Through NepalWe booked an 11 day private tour of Nepal with Himalayan Adventures in September 2024, but ended up extending our trip to another day due to the rains and mudslides on the road. I can not thank them enough for the wonderful, once in a lifetime trip they created for the 5 of us. The company was easy to communicate with and they responded to our inquires in a timely manner. We were greeted by the owner of the airport, transferred to our Kathmandu hotel and were given our itinerary. The next day we met our tour guide, Shuresh and driver, Ramesh who cared for us and stayed with us the entire duration of our trip. We traveled west from Kathmandu to Chitwan in an air conditioned Toyota, Passenger Van. Our amazing driver, Ramesh did an incredible job through the crazy traffic of Kathmandu, and the rough 7+ hour drive on Prithvi Highway, always keeping our comfort in mind, stopping often for us to take pictures. Our guide, Shuresh was knowledgeable, patient and kind with us as we took extra time at each stop to take pictures, shop and get ice coffee. Both of them made our trip much more memorable than expected. The airplane ride over the Himalayan ridge was out of this world. The sites we visited were amazing, the food was incredible and we feel that we have left part of our hearts in Nepal because of Himalayan Adventures! Overall a 6 STAR experience thanks to Himalayan Adventures, Shuresh & Ramesh. Highly recommend you book a trip with them.Written October 6, 2024
- CathiePF600 contributionsIncredible Nepal experience with incredible Guide & DriverWe booked a private 11 day tour in Nepal through Himalayan Adventures. It was a trip of a lifetime and an incredible experience thanks to this company. They were easy to communicate with and responded immediately. We had our own guide and personal driver for the entirety of the trip and they made it even more memorable. Suresh, our guide was patient with us, was considerate of the fact that I needed to stop and take pictures every five minutes… and was very personable and kind. I cannot say enough about our incredible driver, Ramesh. He navigated the crazy Kathmandu traffic like a pro, kept our safety in mind and accommodated us every time we needed to stop. The drive from Kathmandu to Chan was gruelling but these two made it fun for us. During our eight hour drive, we got to see so much of the countryside, took incredible pictures, and met Local people that live in our memories forever. Overall, this was a six star experience. And we highly recommend the company and their incredible staff.Written October 6, 2024

- JieY0 contributionsAmazing time in Nepal with Himalyan AdventureAmazing experience in Nepal. Bhagwat and his team did such a wonderful job planning and executing our private tour of Nepal. They are so easy to work with. We didn't have to think or worry about anything. They thought of everything. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them again for my future Nepal or Bhutan trips.Written September 14, 2024
- Cara P0 contributionsGreat tour and great company, looking forward to our next trip with them!Great tour and company. We took the 12 day classic Nepal tour. Every part of it was very organized and throughout the tour the communication was great. The driver was the same throughout the tour and was reliable and safe. We heard some bad stories from other tourist who booked on their own, so highly recommend getting some help from experts. We are looking to plan a tour with them to Bhutan and Tibet in the fixture.Written September 14, 2024
- JieY0 contributionsAmazing time in Nepal.Amazing private tour experience. Bhagwat was so easy to work with and so responsive in helping to plan the trip. His team was very professional. Subash our driver was always punctual and great safe driver. Overall I highly recommend working with Bhagwat and his team to plan your perfect trip. Will definitely use Bhagwat for our next trip in Nepal.Written September 10, 2024
- alexbB7263NM0 contributionsThe best motorbike adventure everWhat an amazing trip. Bhagwat was amazing from the very first email, really wasn’t sure where we wanted to go but knew what type of trip we wanted. Bhagwat was so accomodating and gave us a huge amount ideas and suggestions. We hired 2 bikes and took a custom joinery over 14 days through all of Nepal’s best spots. Everything went down without a hitch, at no point were we let down and nothing was too much of a hassle. We even changed the plan the day before we left and they made it work. The guide Badri was next level, he understood us and knew when to step on the adventure or when we needed to chill a bit. He could read the situation perfectly, his English was amazing and knew a lot about everything. 100/100 trip.Written September 8, 2024

- McLin S0 contributionsI would come back and do another trek adventure with this companyI had a great time with this company. The guide was super nice & they put me in a nice hotel in Kathmandu. The owner of the company is also super nice. If you’re going on this trek solo or with an odd number of people be aware it is extra fee. I was alone so I had to pay a little extra for single supplement. But that is not the end of the world. I had a solo experience with my guide, and no group to slow me down. I was able to hike at my own pace and my guide let me do whatever I wanted to do. It was amazing. We did not use a porter. I carried all my own stuff. And when I was in the tea houses on the trek I had a 2 bed room to myself every single night except for Gorakshep which was the smallest and last village before base camp. Every tea house we stayed in was very nice and clean. Just like the hotel in Kathmandu where they put me up before and after my trek. The restaurants inside all the tea houses we stayed in were all nice too. I am not a good researcher (I’m just a 22 year old solo traveler in college) so it was very nice to just give this company some money and they figured everything out for me. A hotel before you leave and when you get back from EBC Trek, flight to lukla to start the trek, they give you a nice guide & porter if you want one, they figure out your tea house stays during the trek, and they can arrange a helicopter from gorakshep back to Kathmandu when you are done, or hike back down the mountain and they have a flight included from Lukla back to Kathmandu. Oh also they include airport pickup and drop off from the hotel they put you in. No hiccups at all. Everything went as planned.Written May 25, 2024
- juliedL3451QR0 contributionsDO NOT BOOK A ROAD TRIP THROUGH NEPAL WITH HIMALAYAN ADVENTURE TREKS AND TOURSBEWARE! DO NOT BOOK A ROAD TRIP WITH THIS COMPANY. Very disappointed in our “luxury” 11 day tour with H.A Treks and T in March. Despite having full knowledge of the extensive road demolition throughout Nepal, Bhagwat sent us out on a very uncomfortable and unsafe journey in a car that was completely unsuitable for the road conditions. To top it off, our driver/guide spoke no English. We chose to end the trip early and fly back to Kathmandu at our own expense. When we complained and outlined all of our concerns to Bhagwat, he reluctantly offered a refund of $100 on a $4000 ruined “luxury” trip.Written May 10, 2024

We had such an amazing time at Nepal thanks for Bhagwat and his team. We did the rapid annapurna base camp trek and it was perfect. Prakesh, our treking guide was amazing. He was professional, communicated well and was prepared for everything. We felt safe under his guidance and learnt so much nepalise culture in our journey. In the end, we became like family. After our trek, Bhagwat organised sight seeing places for us and recommended some amazing food. We also completed mountain flying around Mt everest which was an awesome experience. I highly recommend this company for your next visit to Nepal. We could not fault anything in this trip, everything was perfect. 👌🏻
