The Annapurna Base Camp trek is graded as moderate. The main challenge is the steep stone steps (thousands of them) rather than altitude.
Good leg strength and cardio endurance required for the many ascents and descents (stone steps).
Max altitude 4,130m. Risk is lower than EBC or Circuit, but staying hydrated and ascending slowly is still key.
Well-maintained trails with many stone stairs. Can be slippery in bamboo forests if it rains.
Spring (Rhododendrons bloom) and Autumn (clear views) are best. Winter brings snow to the sanctuary.
