A realistic 2026 Annapurna Base Camp budget is about US$600 to US$1,300 per person. The final price depends on trek length and service level. Group size, guide use, porter use, and transport also matter.
Permit costs form only a small part of the total. Nepal Tourism Board lists TIMS at NPR 2,000 for non-SAARC trekkers. The Annapurna Conservation Area also requires an entry permit. Food and rooms cost more as you climb higher.
Supplies become harder to carry into the Sanctuary. You should also budget for transport from Pokhara, tips, charging, showers, Wi-Fi, and insurance. Gear rental can add more. Compare what each package includes before comparing prices.
A cheaper quote can exclude meals, permits, transport, or porter service.
