The Annapurna Base Camp Trek, often referred to as the ABC trek, is a sought-after journey nestled in the heart of Nepal's Annapurna region. This trek is a blend of diverse terrains, from verdant forests to quaint villages, leading trekkers to the iconic Annapurna Base Camp.

At an elevation of 4,130 meters, the base camp unveils panoramic vistas of majestic peaks, with Annapurna I, standing tall at 8,091 meters, being a prominent highlight.

While many embark on the ABC trek from Nayapul, our unique route commences from Banthati, adapting to the evolving landscape due to road development. This path leads you through enchanting places such as Ghorepani and Chhomrong, gateways to the vibrant culture and traditions of the Gurung and Magar communities. Their warm hospitality and age-old customs enrich your trekking experience.

Ascending further, you'll transition from lush greenery to the alpine expanses, eventually reaching the Machhapuchhre Base Camp, or the "Fishtail Base Camp" at 3,700 meters. Named after the iconic Machhapuchhre peak, this camp is a prelude to the final ascent to the ABC base camp.

Surrounded by a majestic amphitheater of peaks like Annapurna South and Hiunchuli, the base camp offers an unparalleled close-up of the Himalayan grandeur.

Typically spanning 13 days, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is tailored for those with a moderate fitness level and some prior trekking experience.

The ABC trek is not just a journey through trails, it's an unforgettable experience that takes you deep into Nepal's natural beauty and rich culture. Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Annapurna massif, this trek offers lasting memories and a true sense of achievement.

A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.

My friend and I went with Triglav Tours for a 3 day, 2 night hike this summer and had the most amazing time!! Our guide, Bine, was awesome and had lots of cool facts to share about the area we were hiking. Additionally, my friend and I had not completed such a technical hike before and the guide and other guests were very patient with us and encouraging, ensuring we felt safe the entire time. The overnights were also such a fun way to get to know Bine, the other guests, and other hikers as well. Cannot recommend Triglav tours enough!!!

I arranged a six-day/five-night trip with Hut to Hut Slovenia. It's the first time I've gone with a tour organizer and I can say it went really well. In the past I've arranged huts myself and it is a huge hassle figuring out how to make the bookings, if the bookings actually exist, and what good/viable routes might be. Having this all sort was, at least to me, totally worth it. The routing is via Ride with GPS, which was great. I'd recommend bringing 1:25,000 scale paper maps as a backup, just in case. The huts themselves differ wildly. Some are really rustic with, ahem, interesting toilet facilities. One was accessible by road and thus had showers, a long menu, and even espresso. All will have some sort of food, but you might only have two options for dinner (one with meat, one vegetarian). The cuisine in the Slovenian huts leans strongly to stews and goulashes with minimal fresh vegetables and/or fruit. Certainly good and hearty but pretty much everyone I talked to said the food was better in the Italian and Austrian huts. Some huts are cash only, some take cards (but the card reader might be down). A 1.5 litre bottle of water is about 6 euro, so if you have a beer with dinner and also buy lunch you need to carry about 25-30 euro per day in cash (assuming you have a booking that includes breakfast). Of the six days of hiking, four were ridiculously spectacular, with the highlight being sunrise from Mt Stol. Getting up to the high mountains, though, can be crazy steep, with switchbacks only sparsely used. Descents are similarly tough, and you have to watch every step. For the first time ever I used trekking poles and my knees thank me. Two days were a bit of a slog, but this is probably unavoidable getting up to or down from the high terrain. Would I do something like this again? Yes, absolutely! But next time it will probably be the Dolomites.

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)

We had a great day with Klemen on this hike, he showed us some lesser known spots/highlights of the southern part of the julian alps with a nice viewpoint at the end. 10/10 would book again
