Cost-Effectiveness

Fixed departure group trek is less expensive than planning your independent trek. Dividing the cost of guide and porter fee, transport, and accommodation among many people is dividing the cost among more people, hence lower cost per person. This makes the cost of the ABC trek lower to more of its travelers.

Social Interaction and Cultural Exchange

Group trekking provides a platform where people of various backgrounds visit and interact and learn about each other by engaging in the activity. Group trekking provides a platform where cross-cultural interaction is occurring, and people of various backgrounds learn from each other and share experiences. Trekking exposes people to traversing settled Gurung and Magar villages and gaining first-hand information on people's culture and lifestyle in such areas.

Greater Safety

The activity is safer with group hiking organized by the company, mainly in mountains away from human habitation. Others encourage one another during tough times and guide ensure the activity becomes safe by addressing emergencies in the right manner, thus making the activity safer for both groups.

Scheduled Departures

Our scheduled departures also have set itineraries, and early bookers can then be assured of reliability. Everyone loves reliability when they are time-conscious individuals, and the trek leaves and arrives back on schedule- to the minute.

Available Trained Guides and Support Staff

Experienced trekkers reserve fixed departure treks with an experienced contact in the Annapurna region. To make the tour valuable, they share their knowledge about the geography of the region, flora and fauna, and local history during the trek. Porters are one such support staff who provide ease and ample assistance during trekking.

Who Can Join the Fixed Departure Trek?

​Fixed departure Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) treks are highly organized for serving varied trekkers like families, individual trekkers, and groups. The treks are designed and have experienced guides and are thus ideal for most of the trekkers.

Families with Kids

It is not an age restriction but recommended that children are over 12 years old to finish the ABC trek. The advice is in regards to the physically demanding character and high altitude situation of the trek. Precaution should be exercised in assessing the physical capability, energy, and athleticism of each child to perform it. Pre-travel expert medical consultation should be carried out so as to assess the preparedness and wellness of the child prior to embarking on the trip.

Older Adults

Older people above 60 years of age can attempt the ABC trek if they are fit and healthy. Older persons should consult a doctor before going for the trek so that they will be able to manage their chronic condition. Trekking, brisk walking, and cardiovascular exercises will equip them with strength and endurance levels. Acclimatization and slow but steady pace in the trek schedule are also recommended so that they will not feel strained and secure.

Single Trekkers

Even single trekking members can join fixed departure groups, an excellent chance to mingle with other travelers from all over the world. Members of the group are from diverse backgrounds adding to the cultural value of the tour even further. Trekking experience is not required, but members must be willing to incorporate day treks and tough trail conditions. Keep in mind that walking alone is fine, but walking in groups will also give some additional security and protection.

Friends and Groups

Group departure treks are also appropriate for friends or groups of work who are seeking group experience. Once guides are booked and an itinerary is in place, one does not need to arrive but is able to do it as a group.

In general, fixed departure Annapurna Base Camp treks are appropriate for all kinds of trekkers. Solo trekking or trekking with family or in groups, fixed departure treks are best suited for a well-organized and well-planned tour of some of the globe's most beautiful landscapes. Always ask special questions to the organizing trekking agency so that the ABC hike would be suitable to your needs and expectations.

Fixed Departure or Private Trekking - Which One Is Better? 

Choosing a fixed departure or private Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trekking tour is decided on the basis like  budget, flexibility, and one's time.

Fixed Departure Treks

Pre-arranged group hikes organized by the agency in the folds of the organization are also referred to as fixed departure treks. These offer a definite regimen for specific dates that may be profitable to people having fewer days at hand. Group trips offer the option of being part of the group like this, in order to feel attached to and relishing the feelings of belongingness with fellow member counterparts. Additionally, splitting the cost can maintain fixed departure treks relatively reasonably. With a price, the fixity would restrict the level of pace or activity booked.

Private Treks

Private treks, however, are a customized experience. Trekkers are able to customize the itinerary, determine the pace, and emphasize particular interests, whether they be cultural experiences or photography. This is appropriate for travelers who require a highly customized and personalized experience. Private treks, however, are more expensive because they provide customized services and flexibility.

How To Make a Choice?

Between the two, the following needs to be considered:

• Budget: The fixed departure treks are less expensive as the expense is distributed, whereas private treks entail greater fees for personalized service.
• Flexibility: If you prefer your schedule set as well as the dates, a fixed departure will be ideal for you. If you prefer flexibility in altering plans, a private trek will be ideal for you.
• Social Interaction: Fixed departures enable socializing with fellow travelers, and that can be a plus point for solo travelers. Trips in private mode are secluded, with social interaction of your group given priority.
• Personalization: Private treks enable you to do things your way, i.e., you have no choice but to organize the trip your way and according to your desire. Fixed departures have a set itinerary that normally cannot be customized until the whole group decides on it. There is minimal space for flexibility as you have to stick to the timetable.
