Is it necessary to hire Guides/trekking agency for Annapurna Base Camp trekking?

Not really. It depends on you. If you want, ABC trekking can be done independently. You could hire a guide and a porter by yourself instead of going through an agency or not hire a guide at all. Although, not having a guide can be a little problematic during the offseason. It really depends on you. Is it your first time in Nepal? How confident are you of being able to find your way around? How pressed on time are you? If you go through an agency, it will be costlier but everything will be planned. You will only have to come, trek and return.

How much do guides and porters cost?

For the Annapurna region, pay for guides range from $20 to $30 per day and porters take $15 to $25 per day.

Day 3 :

Chobe National Park

After breakfast, and a last morning activity in Victoria Falls (if time allows), you will be collected from the lodge and transferred across the border into Botswana.

Day 4 :

Chobe National Park

Today it will be another chance to see large herds of elephants from up close and plenty other wildlife from an open safari vehicle and the river. This property is located near the Ngoma Gate for entry to the Chobe Riverfront. Very few lodges are located on this end of the park and few people utilize this entry point, creating a more remote and exclusive experience than at the properties around Kasane. Although outside the park, this option is located in a bush setting where wildlife frequently passes through. Dinner and Overnight at Chobe Elephant Camp (fully inclusive of meals and activities).

Day 5 :
