Hi Kim, a great film thank you, very enjoyable, with spectacular views. It looks like a fantastic adventure and I look forward to the next episode. How long was the trail in total? Hope you are keeping well, best regards, Chris.
It was indeed a fantastic adventure! Editing these videos already makes me nostalgic to go back. Our total for the trail was around 160 miles. Take care, Kim
1. Solo traveling to ABC trek allowed? 2. Is mid December a good time? 3. From Pokahra to Pokhara how long this trek will take? Waiting for your response ❤
Hi, 1. Technically, you are required to have a guide when trekking in the ACA, but I did see solo travellers and they didn't seem to have any issues at the checkpoints. So the guide rule doesn't seem to be enforced in the Annapurna Region currently. This could change at any time. Important though is to have all the trekking permits needed, they do check those regularly. 2. Mid december is usually a good time, but it can get very cold once you reach higher elevations. Also there is always the danger of Thorong La pass being shut for a few days at a time due to heavy snowfall in the winter. 3. We did the trek in 15 days. But you can shorten it considerably by taking Jeeps at the start/end of the trek. You can even take a flight from Jomsom back to Pokhara which would take about 4 days off the trek. You can also do extra side treks like Tilicho Tal or Annapurna Base camp, which can lengthen the trek to over 20 days. Hope this answers your questions!
Music and scenery 👌
