    If you're planning on doing a trek I recommend you do some training beforehand! It's often a lot more challenging than people expect. And after all, its a holiday! So the fitter you are the more you'll enjoy it!

    BUDGET:
    TIMS Permit - 2000 rupees ($20 USD)
    ANCAP Entry Fee - 1000 rupees ($10 USD)
    Accommodation -
    This will be more expensive as you ascend in altitude. It will also depend on seasonal price fluctuations and whether or not you share the room. For me as a solo trekker in a private room/tent - roughly 250-1000 rupees per night ($5-10 USD) Total accommodation costs for me: $34 USD
    Food:
    This will also be more expensive as you ascend in altitude. I spent the following:
    Aus Camp - Lunch & Coffee $8
    Forest Camp - D, B, - $20
    Middle Camp - L, D, B - $25
    High Camp - L, D, B L - $45
    Siding - D, B - $20
    Transport:
    Bus to Kande: 150 rupees ($1.5 USD)
    Shared Jeep Siding - Pokhara 3500 Rupees ($35)
    My Total:
    $213 USD

      You'd get some really cold mornings and nights and some snow cover up high but as far as I know the tea houses are open. as long as you don't mind the cold you'll be fine! I mean people trek to EBC in January and that's another 1000m higher at least so I don't see why you'd have any issues.

    Hey dude! I'm from Sydney, never been to Nepal and love hiking. What in your opinion is the next hike to do (away from jeep roads as much as possible but trekking around others). I want to do this solo and not tied to a hike group just for fun. I've heard abc is pretty easy in terms of navigating. I want to go at the end of October into November which I heard is ideal weather wise? I was looking at the annapurna circuit but saw you didn't regard it too well considering the recent changes. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    Hey, very much enjoyed the video. I have time for an 11 day trek, I'm thinking of either Mardi Himal or Annapurna Base Camp, do you have any suggestions on this? Or any alternatives? You're one of the few TH-camrs who manages to do balanced reviews on the treks.

    • @ChaseMountains
      @ChaseMountains  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dan91 thanks man! Appreciate it. I think it’s probably possible for you to do both ABC and MH in one go, many people link it up and it’s fairly easy to do once you look at a map and check out the signs. Do MH first and then drop down into the ABC trek around tatopani or thereabouts. You’ll be pretty well acclimatised do you can do a little faster on the ABC

    Hi! Great video, thanks. I'm considering going in June for 2 weeks for the first time. I love nature, mountains and would love to see the countryside. However, due to health conditions I get easily tired and out of breath. Any easy track recommendations? Thanks in advance!!!

    • @ChaseMountains
      @ChaseMountains  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have some advice for you. Don't go in June, because that's monsoon season and it will be a pretty terrible experience. I also think that no matter what trek you're doing it's worthwhile doing some training beforehand so you're able to enjoy the experience! Finally, if you want a very short trek, look at the Poon Hill trek

    Thanks for this mate subbed! I'm heading to Nepal in 10 days and am looking at this trek and the Indigenous People's Trek as well.
    Did you find any need for legit hiking boots? I have them but also was looking to do this with a solid pair of quality runners with good tread to save space and weight?

    • @ChaseMountains
      @ChaseMountains  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Nico, yeah I don’t think you’ll need hiking boots. I did this trek in a pair of quite old trail runners with no tread 🤣I’d also love to hear how the indigenous peoples trek was! Please contact me if you do it because if heard nothing about it

      @@ChaseMountains Thanks for the quick reply man, yeah for sure I am committed to doing it, for that exact reason you stated above, I had heard literally nothing about it until a month or so ago. I have been planning a return to Nepal for over 3 years (I was there a week before the 2015 earthquake so going back has been a massive goal for me) but my plan was to head to the Annapurna Circuit, but as I thought more about why I am drawn back to Nepal I realised it was the people that left such an impact on me.
      So I am giving up the personal milestones etc of the big named treks and going to the interior for the IP trek instead. There is literally fk all info about it anywhere, a few vids on YT, but for context they have about 100ish people each year, total. It's home stay's with farmers in true rural villages, which I feel will give me more genuine interactions with the local people - not like ABC/AC treks etc where they get dozens of new faces coming through everyday. I will be def posting pics for sure, my instagram is "_andrewnicholson_" (just followed you) if you wanna see the pics (should be posting once I'm back in KTM about end of April)
      Shit that was an essay, sorry haha :)

      Depending on the season, but put it this way it's not pathway all the way like Everest base camp. Your boots will get dirt but your not going to be stuck in big for days, that's the beauty of walking on a ridge it drains quickly!

      @marcdefaoite 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ChaseMountains Yes, research. I did the Annapurna Base Camp trek last year and hoped to do the circuit next year. It's long been on my bucket list, but listening to what you have to say I think I'll be doing the EBC from Jiri or Bandhar instead, maybe with a side trip to Goyoko (any advice or videos?) Your video above basically confirmed a lot of chatter I've been hearing over the last few years, so I think the Annapurna circuit will be crossed off my to-do list. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work.
