Autumn (Sept to Nov) and Spring (March to May) are the best seasons for Annapurna Base Camp Trek. The weather is sunny and warm with outstanding views.

Symptoms
Altitude sickness is the human body’s reaction to atmospheric pressure and a reduction of the concentration of oxygen present in the air. As you climb higher into the mountains, your body gradually adapts to the reduced amount of oxygen in the air. The appearance of altitude sickness symptoms shows that your body has increased its altitude level faster than it can acclimatize to the corresponding change in atmospheric pressure and reduction in oxygen. In trekking, altitude acclimatization processes are different for each trekker.
Whilst trekking in Nepal anyone can fall ill with high altitude sickness regardless of their body shape, experience and previous mountain trekking experience. There’s no need to fear high altitude sickness, but it’s very important that you know how to avoid it, how to recognize it and how to act correctly in the event that you encounter symptoms of altitude sickness.
In rare cases, symptoms of altitude sickness may begin to appear starting from 2,400 meters above
sea level, but an increased risk of high altitude sickness sets in starting from the 3,500 meter mark. The high risk or mountain zone starts from 5,500 meters. This is why mountain airports in Nepal like Lukla and Jomsom are located at an altitude of 2,700 -2,900 meters.
The primary symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) are:
-Headache
-Loss of appetite
-Nausea
-Vomiting
-Fatigue and weakness
-Dizziness
-Restless sleep
-Shortness of breath
-Swelling of the face and hands.
Mild altitude sickness symptoms are experienced by about up to 20% of trekkers at altitudes of up to 3,000 meters above sea level.
At extreme altitudes, above 4,500 meters, Acute Mountain Sickness can turn into High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) which are both very serious.
High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) symptoms include: serious fatigue, shortness of breath and dry cough, shortness of breath at rest, rapid and shallow breath, frothy or pink mucus possible, gurgling, rasping sound when breathing, pressure, heavy feeling in the chest, restlessness, rapid pulse, possible fever, cy
anosis – blue or gray lips and indescribable lethargy.
High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) symptoms include: powerful headache which doesn’t pass using painkillers, loss of coordination (ataxia), vomiting, apathy, fatigue, indifference, walks as if drunk, behavioral changes, confusion, hallucinations, cramping fits, short-term blindness and numbness or paralysis o
f individual body part.
HACE is the most dangerous form of high altitude sickness. It progresses rapidly and requires quick action to prevent the trekker’s death. You may only have a few hours time to successfully implement rescue measures depending on the degree of seriousness of HACE.
Prevention
Ascending slowly is the best way to avoid altitude sickness. Avoiding strenuous activity in the first 24 hours at high altitude reduces the symptoms of AMS. When trekking above 3,000 meters be sure to give yo
yourself extra days to acclimatize which will allow your body to adjust to the changes in atmospheric pressure and
oxygen. Alcohol and sleeping pills are respiratory depressants, and thus slows down the acclimatization process and should be avoided. Alcohol also tends to cause dehydration and exacerbates AMS. Diamox is a drug that can 
be taken before you begin trekking to help with altitude sickness symptoms. Please speak to a doctor to learn more about Diamox.
Treatment
The best way to treat altitude sickness symptoms is to descend. With Acute Mountain Sickness it is best to descend at least 400-500 meters or to the previous altitude at which there were no symptoms. With HAPE
and HACE, one should descend immediately at least 500-1,000 meters. Trekkers should rest for a day or two and drink lots of fluids. If sysmptoms have completely disappeared, the trekker can ascend again. If symptoms continue to worsen the victim should continue to descend or be evacuated.
If you have any specific questions about altitude sickness feel free to contact us or find more information at www.altitude.org

Excellent in every way - Annapurna base camp 
We just came back from a two-week trip to Nepal, organized by Saligram of Mountain World Treks. He arranged everything and was our guide throughout. And what an excellent job he did. Everything was taken care of; hotels and tea houses were booked and paid for; admissions to museums, and other sights; taxis and cars to take us around, etc, etc. We wanted to see some sights, and also do some trekking, and Saligram customized an itinerary for us and made changes we requested. So in summary, I would highly recommend Saligram to anyone planning a trip to Nepal, whether it's sightseeing, or trekking, or a bit of both. He is so knowledgeable, and so competent, and experienced, that he will make your trip more enjoyable and less stressful by taking care of all the logistics and letting you just enjoy the beautiful country of Nepal.

The BEST, hands down!
When I first decided to go to Nepal, my thought was that I would hire a guide for the trekking part of the trip only. I saw only excellent reviews on TripAdvisor for Mountain World Treks and there was a lot more positive feedback on their Facebook page, so I found them on the internet. Saligram, the company owner, and I became friends on Facebook and we chatted regularly about my trip to Nepal. As the trip approached it made more sense to let Mountain World Treks handle the trip from start to finish. Their prices were reasonable and when I let them know the things that we wanted to see/do, they became part of our itinerary. We were lucky enough to have Saligram as our guide. Although he had other tours/treks going on concurrently, we always had his undivided attention. We went during the biggest festival of the year--Dashain. On the 8th day, the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of animals takes place in temples throughout the nation. This was a big concern because I didn't want to witness any of this. I let Saligram know, and it never became an issue. We also had the honor of staying with his family on their rice farm on the 10th day of Dashain, the 'Dashami'. On this day, elders put Tika on the forehead of younger relatives to bless them (simplified version). Not only did we witness this ritual, we were included. It was an experience I will never forget. This was a very busy time to be in Nepal, yet despite the crowds and cues, our guide made sure we never waited in any lines, and we always seemed to have the best room in the hotels / tea & guest houses. And if our porter is any indication, Mountain World Treks hires only the best. If you're planning a trip to Nepal, go with Mountain World Treks. It's a no-brainier.
