Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

This is a 13-day Annapurna Circuit Trek, where you are going to make the most precious memories of your life in the landscapes that the Himalayas have to offer. This is your chance to be delighted as you go through the clouds and come to grips with trekking the Thorong La High Pass, a magnificent height of 5,416 meters. This milestone is not entirely about the endurance that you battle, but it is about bravery and the spirit of exploration that you wear at a deep level.

With every step you take, as you hike through the variety of terrains of the Annapurna Himalaya range, a new door opens up to you to discover various marvels as you get pulled deep into the heart of the mountains.

Although the trip goes beyond the pretty landscape, it is about your fellow travellers and the human relationships that you form on your journey. The part where you share happy moments and fun stories will be the part that you will remember even after the trek is over.

Last but not least, slow down and visit the loud and lively Kathmandu on your way to Nepal’s capital, and join in the carnival of culture before trekking off. Maximize your stay in the bustling market to take a deep breath, search for secret temples, and embrace everything that this beautiful city has to offer you, including interesting sights and sounds.

When it is the same thing on top of the last day, you can also have fun while relaxing in Pokhara, where there is a lake called Phewa, and you can just close your eyes and observe the memories of your trip come back to you.

Feel the efficacy of this life-altering journey with us, because there will be no step without the opportunity to really admire Mother Nature, fellow beings, and the essence of adventure.

Is this Annapurna Circuit trek right for you?

Before joining the Annapurna Circuit trek, trekkers should understand if this trek suits them or not. Trekking in the mountain region of Nepal, especially in the high-altitude areas, is not as easy as you think. 

Being graded as a moderate to strenuous trek for some people, especially for beginners, might be troublesome. Spending around two weeks in the mountain region and walking for 4-6 hours is physically challenging.

Difficult terrain, narrow trekking trails, long duration, remoteness, and the chance of high altitude sickness are the difficult factors of this trek. But worry not, even if you are trekking for the first time in Nepal, with proper planning and preparation, it is still possible. You need to build strength, as you need to walk uphill and downhill while carrying a backpack.

Imagine yourself surrounded by towering mountains and achieving your dream. The beauty and moments you experience during the trip will remain in your heart and memory forever.

Useful Information

Best Time For Annapurna Circuit Trek 

The climate in the mountain season is according to the seasons and each season offers its own unique beauty and challenge to the trekkers. While heading for the trip travelers need to know in which season they are traveling. It will help you to understand what you can expect in different seasons and how to prepare accordingly.

Summer(June to August) and Autumn(September to November) are known as the ideal time for trekking. This is because, during the spring and autumn seasons, the weather is stable, with long sunlight hours and moderate temperatures.

Also during this month the clear view of the sky and less chance of rainfall makes for good visibility of the mountain peaks. The beautiful landscape and blooming of flowers in the spring and leaves turning yellow during autumn make the trail path more beautiful. 

Trekking in the winter and summer is also possible. But due to risk factors like heavy snowfall, heavy rainfall, chance of avalanches, and slippery and muddy trail paths, we suggest you avoid trekking during this month.

Electricity and Drinking Water during Annapurna Circuit 

Tea Houses or lodges will provide a charging space for you to charge your electronic device during the trek. But you need to pay a little extra for that. And for drinking water, there is tap water, another source of water to refill your water bottle. 

The source of water is not completely safe to drink; therefore, we suggest you use water purification to purify the water. Also, you can buy a water bottle or boil water for drinking from the tea house. Remember, the price of water bottles is a little higher than what you can find at lower altitudes.

Wifi and Communication on Annapurna Circuit 

You can use the wifi in the tea house. To connect to the Wi-Fi, you need to pay a little extra cost. There is no free wifi during the trek. For this, you can use a local SIM (NCELL or NTC), which you can buy easily at the airport. You can use the data pack for internet and international calls. Remember, the network might be poor, especially in high-altitude areas.

Food and Accommodation during the Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty Level and Preparation

The Annapurna Circuit trek is of moderate to strenuous difficulty; therefore, it demands a good level of physical fitness from trekkers. Even though there are no technical parts in this trek and no previous trekking experience is required, it is not as easy as you think

Covering around 200 km and walking daily for up to 4-6 hours is a tough job. Also, the challenge of this circuit trek is passing the Thorong La Pass, which stands at 5416 meters. Walking uphill in difficult terrain and the chances of altitude sickness make this trek more challenging. Therefore, you must prepare yourself by maintaining good physical fitness and strength. 

If you manage to train for 6-8 weeks by doing cardiovascular activities, joining a gym, doing yoga, and doing 1- 2 hours of exercise daily to increase strength, then you can help to overcome the difficulties that arise during the trek. 

Along with physical fitness, you also need to maintain your mental health. Apart from that, maintaining your health by eating a balanced diet, proper hydration, and getting enough sleep and rest is also required.

While trekking with us, we will provide you with a licensed Guide and a porter. The porter will carry the bag of every two trekkers. The cost of hiring the Guide and the porter will be included in the package.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek We did the total 14 days tour package with the Eco Nepal Trekkers. It went very smooth from arrival to Kathmandu and during the trekking. Pemba is well organized and very flexible with our preferred dates. They booked nice hotels, and comfortable transport. Kiran and Upandra were reliable, stand-up guys, taking care of us during the trekking. Kiran is well knowledge with the trek and mountains. Always informing us the next day plans, and checking for AMS, oxygen saturation etc. All the accommodation and food were amazing during the trek. This is a family business and they treat you like a family member. I would recommend Eco Nepal Trekkers to anyone who wants to experience Himalayans Trekking in Nepal.

Best local trekking company in Nepal!! An increadible journey!..and the Best local company in Nepal. I did the EBC + Chola Pass + Gokyo Lakes. Pemba (owner) customised my trip and took care of everything! I had a great guide Prayash who really helped me through the trek and gave me lots of knowlege and stories of the Everest region. I have been to mountains of Europe/USA/ NZ but the raw beaty of the Himalayas is something special. The physical challenge of altitude, the tea houses, high bridge crossings, Sherpa culture and all the fellow trekkers and climbers make this trip so unique. It has been a highlight of my life and i was fortunate to go with a local company who are genuinely passionate about sharing the Himalayas with you. Also at end of trek they organised sightseeing tours. I was also able to contribute to the companies charity in a small way some by donating some stationary and sports equipment to a mountain school. If you are going to Nepal i would highly recommend Pemba and his team of guides. I will be back! Namastae

Unvergessliche Trekking-Erfahrung mit Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expedition Meine Tour mit Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions war von Anfang bis Ende ein echtes Highlight. Schon vor der Reise war die Kommunikation mit Herrn Pemba Tamang perfekt organisiert: schnell, freundlich, flexibel und absolut zuverlässig. Dadurch fühlte ich mich bereits vor meiner Ankunft bestens betreut. Auf dem Trail selbst war mein größtes Glück mein Porterguide Dil. Er trug mein Gepäck, zeigte mir wunderschöne Aussichtspunkte und begleitete mich mit seiner positiven, ruhigen und unglaublich respektvollen Art. Da ich untrainiert gestartet bin und langsamer unterwegs war, war seine Geduld für mich unbezahlbar. Dann kam ein unerwarteter Wintereinbruch – und genau in solchen Momenten zeigt sich, wie wertvoll ein wirklich guter Guide ist. Dil hat mit Umsicht, Erfahrung und perfekter Organisation dafür gesorgt, dass die Passüberquerung sicher war und der gesamte Weg trotz Schnee und Kälte ein unvergesslich schöner Teil meiner Reise blieb. Ich habe mich bei ihm jederzeit sicher, gut aufgehoben und wertgeschätzt gefühlt. Für alle, die eine liebevolle, professionelle und zuverlässige Trekking-Erfahrung in Nepal suchen: Ich kann Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Fantastische Erfahrung! Die Organisation meiner Reise mit Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions unter der Leitung von Herrn Pemba Tamang war von Anfang an hervorragend. Die Kommunikation auf Englisch – per E-Mail oder WhatsApp – war stets schnell, zuverlässig und sehr freundlich, sodass ich meine Planung problemlos anpassen konnte. Mein besonderer Dank gilt meinem Porterguide Dil. Er hat mich während der gesamten Wanderung mit großer Geduld, Hilfsbereitschaft und Respekt begleitet, mein Gepäck getragen, schöne Fotospots gezeigt und mich motiviert, auch wenn ich langsamer unterwegs war als andere. Trotz eines unerwarteten Wintereinbruchs fühlte ich mich durch seine umsichtige und verantwortungsvolle Art jederzeit sicher und bestens betreut. Ich kann Eco Nepal Trekkers and Expeditions und das gesamte Team uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!
