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.

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.
