Then, as long as you will too, you can.<\/p>"},{"title":"How long do we walk every day when doing Annapurna Base Camp trekking?","content":"On average, you walk about 4 to 6 hours per day. One or two days can be as less as 3hrs and one or two days can be as long as 7hrs."},{"title":"What is the highest altitude reached in this trek?","content":"The highest altitude reached is 4190m. This is the elevation of Annapurna Base Camp. ABC is the highest we will climb in this trek."},{"title":"What about battery charging and hot shower facilities?","content":"Yes, you can charge batteries en route. Charger should be brought.

Although, not having a guide can be a little problematic during the offseason.\r\n\r\nIt really depends on you. Is it your first time in Nepal? How confident are you of being able to find your way around? How pressed on time are you? If you go through an agency, it will be costlier but everything will be planned.
