Setting a culture of trekking and traveling from a young age can change a child's perspective towards life, giving them an exposure to the diverse ways of life. And if you want to show the seed of trekking into your child, Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Children is the perfect trek. Your children will thoroughly enjoy the breathtaking mountain views, beautiful landscape, and diverse cultures while learning important lessons in life. The trek is suitable for all people with sound physical health, and the same goes for the children. However, children less than 7 years old are not advised for the trek, mainly due to the altitude.

The 14 days trekking journey to the Annapurna Base Camp starts from Kathmandu to Pokhara by flying and start trek onward. Along the journey, you and your children can enjoy the stunning views of the Annapurna range, Mt. Machhapuchhre (6993m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6443m) and many other snowy peaks. The trail takes you through rhododendron forests, which will excite and entertain your children. The waterfall, rivers, glaciers, frozen trails, suspension bridges, and the forests will certainly turn your child into great storytellers. This trek will take your family to two base camps, Annapurna Base Camp and Machhapuchhre Base Camp. Apart from this, interacting with other children from the Himalayan region, and playing with chicken and goats will carve a long lasting memory in your child's mind. Your family can have an engaging time dressing up in Gurung attire in Ghandruk Museum. In case your child feels tired, there will be a provision of renting a horse, which will not only relieve his/her tiredness but also add on to their exciting experience. The best time to attempt this trek is during spring (March-May) or during autumn (September-November). So, fall, spring breaks can be utilized for this 2 weeks journey.
