Is it necessary to hire Guides/trekking agency for Annapurna Base Camp trekking? - Day

Many hikes in Nepal require the use of guides and porters such as Upper Dolpo, Kanchenjunga and Upper Mustang due to the areas being restricted. However, places such as the Annapurna Conservation Area and Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camps do not require guides.

It is best to organize your Nepal trekking tour before you get to Nepal to save time and avoid the confusion of finding a trekking company while you are in Nepal.

It’s important to keep in mind that no matter what trek you do, you are going to have to get a Trekkers’ Information Management System (TIMS) permit.
