Difficulties and Safety Trekking to Annapurna Base Camp is not an easy thing with lots of uphill and downhill. Good physical fitness is required in order to ensure an enjoyable walking and climbing experience during the trek. Most of the days include 4-7 hours walking. Altitude can be the problem too so drinking lots of fluids and going slowly is important to avoid altitude sickness. Your safety is of our major concern. Your trekking guide has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the itinerary if it is deemed necessary due to safety concerns. Since this adventure entails travelling in remote mountainous regions, we cannot guarantee that we will not deviate from it. The guide will try to ensure that the trip runs according to plan, but please be prepared to be flexible if required.
