I'm planning a solo trek to Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) in mid-May 2026 and have two concerns:
Given the 2026 mandatory guide policy, how strictly is it being enforced for Indians or are solo permits still possible?
Regarding accommodation, with May being the tail-end of peak season, is it risky to trek without pre-booking teahouses?
