Why choose the group joining the trekking Annapurna Base Camp trek?

A group joining the Annapurna Base Camp trek has a lot of advantages, such as sharing the cost, guide, porter, and transportation, and safety and security are the main key benefits for those travelers.

Advantages

1. Sharing the trek cost: Joining a group trek to Annapurna Base Camp, the cost will be lower as you will share the cost with other travelers. which makes the trip more budget-friendly.
2. Meet new people: a good opportunity to meet the new people and share the experience and culture during the trek.
3.  Fixed Itinerary & Departure Date: In a group, the Annapurna Base Camp trek itinerary and departure dates are fixed, and there are higher chances to depart on the trip as per the schedule.
4. Safety—In a group, always feel safe and secure, especially in the higher section of the mountain. If someone is injured by altitude sickness, in case any emergency cases happen, then when you are in a group, it helps to quickly rescue them to the safe places.
5. Hassle-free: when you plan to join a group trek to Annapurna Base Camp, you will have less hassle preparing for the trek because you are sharing the basic trip arrangements, and you can share the information with the group participants.

Disadvantages of Annapurna Base Camp Group joining a trek:

As much as you have advantages of joining a group trek, there are some disadvantages as well. So, if you are one of the travelers planning to do this trek solo or take a private trip with a guide, then don’t plan to join the Annapurna base camp trek.

• Can’t customize the itinerary—as a group can’t customize the itinerary, you have to follow the same itinerary. On the trail there are limited sources and choices.
• Not similar fitness level—as you are meeting new people for the first time, you don’t know the fitness level of the group participants, so it can be uncomfortable while you are walking. Some people may walk fast and some may be late in walking.
• Follow the group’s rules and regulations. When we hike, we have to stick in a group and walk together; as a group, it’s easier to lead the guide.
• Limited choice in food and accommodation—Food and drinks have limited choices, especially at lunchtime, as we have just one hour.
• Shared-based accommodation: during the trek the accommodation is arranged on a shared basis. You may not be comfortable sharing the room with new people. For an additional cost, you can get an extra room only in the lower sections of the route.
• Walk with the group. If you are experienced adventure hikers and join a new group of beginners with less experience hiking in mountains, then it might be difficult to adjust to the same level of walk.
• Different cultures and natures of humans: as you meet new people from different countries and join the annapurna base camp trek and share the culture, nature and travel talk, it may not be comfortable. But not for all.
  Miss the side trips: as you have to follow the group as per the itinerary, scheduled and if you want to do any side trips and spend extra nights in nice places, it is not possible to join a group. but if all participating groups agree, then we can extend or reduce the itinerary as per all group members’ decisions.

Suggestion: if you don’t mind most of the above points, then I highly recommend joining the group trek. But if you are not comfortable with all the points above, then it is better to plan the private trek with a professional guide and porter.

The Annapurna Base Camp Trek group joins the best season

The best season to go on an Annapurna Base Camp group trek starts from mid-March, April, May, and June in the spring season, and in the autumn season, it starts from September, October, November, December, and January every year. During these months you have a higher chance to meet the group. If you are planning to do this trek in a private group or solo, you can choose the most convenient date for you.

In midwinter, like January, and in the monsoon season, trekking to Annapurna Base Camp is not suggested, as the weather is not clear; it’s cloudy, with poor visibility, muddy, and lots of green and grassy lands and leeches in the lower sections of the trek.
