The weather can be unpredictable in the Himalayas and every year a significant number of trips have flights to or from Lukla delayed or cancelled due to weather conditions. See Day 1 of the itinerary for the alternative plans should this happen on your trip. Thorong La pass is occasionally closed in winter months due to heavy snowfall.
verified
The trekking lodges, known as teahouses, that you stay in on the trek are very simple with only basic facilities. Hot water may not always be available and may cost extra, as will access to electricity points for charging devices. Wi-Fi is available at some locations, but connections may be poor.

Important notes
verified
This trip is a combination of Everest Base Camp Trek (HNXE, group size max 16) and Annapurna Circuit Trek (HNXR, group size max 12). As such the makeup of your group and your tour leader may change on Day 16
verified
1. This trip starts in Kathmandu on Day 1 at 2pm.
verified
2. A single supplement is available if you’d prefer not to share a room on this trip. The single supplement will only be included on Days 1,28,29 (Hotel) and Days 14,15,16, (Guesthouse) and is subject to availability. Please speak to your booking agent for further information.
verified
3. You may be asked to provide 4 passport size photographs for your trekking permit.
verified
4. In case of weather conditions leading to cancellations or delays in flights, this trip will operate on an alternate itinerary. Please see Day 1 of the itinerary for more details.
verified
5. Due to climate change, weather on the Annapurna Circuit is becoming less predictable. High-risk weather conditions can cause significant damage to the trail even outside the rainy season. If trekking conditions are unsafe, alternative arrangements will be made by your group leader, and you might switch to the Annapurna Base Camp itinerary instead, details of which can be found by searching our website for Annapurna Base Camp. In this instance, a flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu on Day 30 will also be included.
verified
6. Ensure you have access to an extra US$500 for emergencies (e.g. severe weather, natural disasters, civil unrest) or other events that result in unavoidable changes to the itinerary (e.g. transport strikes or cancellations, airport closures). Please be aware that in the event of an emergency evacuation, Tuuur does not have control over which helicopter service may be used. Some helicopters are not in regular use with Tuuur and have not passed our internal safety auditing.
verified
7. There is a dirt road that stretches from Muktinath to Jomsom and Tatpaoni (Days 14-17). When weather conditions allow, we use an alternate track for this portion of the trek to avoid the road as much as possible.
verified
8. As this trip ends in Pokhara, if you wish to transfer your stored luggage from Kathmandu to Pokhara, we can arrange this by a private vehicle. Additional cost is 100 USD. This cost is divided among the interested participants.
verified
9.Your health and safety is our priority. Your leader may delay or stop your ascent based on your medical conditions and AMS symptoms. Please ensure your insurance includes coverage for activities above 6000m, mountain rescue, and helicopter evacuation costs. Without adequate insurance cover, helicopter evacuation requires upfront payment.

I took the Everest Base Camp and Annapurna circuit trip. It was incredible and I highly recommend. My guides Lapka and Phurba were the best of the best. The assistant guides and porters were also incredible and friendly. I couldn’t recommend this trip more!
