Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

The Annapurna Circuit Trek goes around the huge Annapurna mountains in Western Nepal. Many people consider it one of the best treks in the country. The trek isn't about walking through high mountain passes; it takes you through the center of the Annapurna Conservation Area and links the districts of Manang and Mustang in the Himalayas.

And before you know it, you will have crossed the highest point of Annapurna Circuit Trek, Thorang La Pass(5416m), traversing through cultural and natural diversity not found elsewhere. This trek combines the adventure of taking the high pass of the Manang region with a descent towards the sacred site of Hindus at Muktinath. You will encounter a blend of history, culture, biodiversity, geology, flora and fauna, and waterbodies for the most part of this trekking adventure in Nepal.

Highlight of Annapurna Circuit

  • Drive the scenic mountain road from Kathmandu to Syange.
  • Explore the beautiful Marshyangdi River valley.
  • Pass across Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters)
  • Drive through the world's deepest gorge and the Kaligandaki valley.
  • Learn about the mountain people in the heart of the Himalayas.
  • Breathtaking views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Glacier Dom, Dhaulagiri Range, Manaslu Range, Nilgiri, Tilicho, Chulu, Thorong, and Pisang Peak.
  • Explore Buddhist mane walls, stupas, and monasteries.
  • Cross many suspension bridges.
  • Experience Tatopani's natural hot springs.
  • Beautiful morning views from Poon Hill.

Annapurna Circuit Trek Details

Annapurna Circuit Trek offers various natural wonders in the Annapurna region. There are towering peaks that give birth to raging white rivers. The dense forests cover the lower elevated high hills with different temperatures and weather patterns. Alongside these natural grandeurs live rare species of animals and birds, which creates a vibrant atmosphere. Manang and Mustang districts cover most of the Annapurna region and border the Tibetan Plateau to the north. Gurung and Managi community people inhabit various villages. Heading further north from Manang, you will set foot on one of the highest passes in Nepal, Thorong La Pass.

Mustang district sits within the northern reach of Annapurna massifs and boasts the geographical features of desert terrain. Kaligandaki River cuts through the flat valley of Mustang district while peaks like Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Annapurna I, Tukuche, and others overlook this pristine area. Trekking the Annapurna round entails starting your adventure in Manang and traversing through the flat surface cut by the Marsyangdhi River. Then, it ascends through the barren and rocky stretches of Thorang Phedi to reach the pass.

From the pass, you will descend to Mustang district and drive back to Pokhara, creating a semi-circuit trip to the Annapurna Mountains. Annapurna circuit trek allows for a roller coaster ride on the outskirts of Annapurna peaks. Mustang and Manang district both lie in the Gandaki province in western Nepal. Both the Manang and Mustang areas have been a Tibetan trade corridor and prominent settlements of Gurung, Thakali, Manangi, and Magar groups.

Outstanding service. It was like having a VIP experience with Jay and Harka. Our porter, Meshak, never stopped smiling!

Annapurna trek with Harka

In October 2007 we did the Annapurna trek with Harka, which was a fantastic experience. In 20 days Harka guided us from one magnificent place to the other. During the trek Harka provided us with a lot of information about the region and the people we met. Harka’s experience made it a challenging but safe and feasible trek, by keeping the pace to a level that suited our physical condition. In the evening we rested and played many card games with Harka surrounded by the worlds highest peaks, drinking tea and eating cookies. It was an unforgettable experience, which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

my second trek with Himalaya Trip

This is my second trek with Himalayan trip. Last year 16 day to Manaslu Circuit with my daughter, and this year 20 day Annapurna Circuit and side trips with my wife and friend. Harka and his amazing team delivered an unbelievably enjoyable product. Many highlights. They include partially: Exposure to the Gurung culture. Most fascinating. Mountain scenery beyond belief. Patient, caring porter/guides-Bassu/Deep on Annapurna/Harry/Soroz on Manaslu, all of whom continually assessed our health and well-being, bent over backwards to make this journey a fantastic experience. Dahl baht! Momos! Yaks! Water buffalo. Chang beer! Super pleasant Nepali people en route. Turning 60 en route. Memorable birthday. Challenging altitudes. A very interesting menagerie of fellow Trekkers. Great villages loved Ghandruck, a special Gurung village.

If you are considering a trekking adventure, this family-run company has the experience and knowledge to make it memorable. This year, our porter/guide, Bassu, was incredible. Totally flexible, patient, never without a smile, totally cognizant of our needs, we felt so fortunate.

Deep our porter also never stopped smiling, most contagious. Many great laughs on the trails, such an awesome rich and rewarding experience with these two gentlemen.

How difficult is Annapurna Circuit Trekking?

The difficulty factor of any trek is relative to the person starting on the trek. While the terrain, altitude, remoteness, location, climate, and other factors may affect one's adapting capacity, it all comes down to the physical and mental endurance of a trekker. The difficulty of the Annapurna Circuit trek is challenging, as many consider it. The trek's traverse from the Manang region to the top of Thorang La Pass is the most strenuous stretch. It requires you to walk steadily in barren and semi-arid terrain above 5000 meters in altitude.

Additionally, with the gain in altitude comes cold, chilly temperatures, which affects the digestion and sleep cycle of most trekkers. The 10 Days Annapurna Round Itinerary, designed by Himalaya Trip, requires you to walk for at least 6-7 hours each day. Beginner trekkers may have difficulty traversing for a lengthy period of time. Furthermore, the uppermost sections of Manang are located in one of the remotest parts of the district. There is no road access, and emergency services are available by phone. With a steady pace, enough hydration, nutrition, and proper sleep, beginners can complete this trek, too.


Duration of Annapurna Circuit short Trek

There are varieties of itinerary you can craft for your Circuit trek to Annapurna. The duration also differs based on the itinerary. Standard duration of Annapurna Circuit Trek is 10 days which includes ground transfer to Dharapani and back to Kathmandu. It is paramount to acclimatize properly and walk at a steady pace in such high altitude traverses. One must take adequate breaks in between to let the body adapt properly to the gaining elevation. This standard itinerary offered by Himalaya trip is a 10 days Annapurna Circuit short Trek which can be modified if you want to take it slow and steady.


Is the Annapurna Circuit trek worth it?

Yes, the demanding section and difficulties of Annapurna Circuit Trek are all worth it. Considered to provide a rewarding experience, this adventure will provide beautiful views of subtropical forests, alpine landscapes, and barren mountain passes. Furthermore, with this adventure, you will also get the remote experience. In addition to that, most of the people residing here are from Gurung, Thakali, and Manangi. They have their own unique culture and follow the Nepali Tibetian culture, which can add a cultural dimension to your journey.

Additionally, you will also get views of some of the highest peaks in the world, such as Annapurna, Dhaulagari, and Machhapuchhre, which again make everything worth it. In addition to the natural beauty, the sense of accomplishment in crossing the Thorong La Pass, one of the highest trekking passes in the world, is unforgettable. You will witness lush forests, desert-like landscapes, mountain views, lakes, and hot springs- all in reward for the challenges you go through.


Preparation for Annapurna Circuit Trek

Physical Fitness

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is challenging, covering diverse terrains and high altitudes. Focus on building your stamina through regular cardio exercises like hiking, cycling, and running. Strength training, especially for your legs and core, is also essential. Practice long hikes with a backpack to simulate the trek experience.

Gear and Equipment

Invest in good trekking boots, warm layers, a quality backpack, and weather-resistant clothing. A sleeping bag suitable for cold temperatures and trekking poles are highly recommended. Don't forget essentials like a first aid kit, water purification tablets, and a headlamp.

Acclimatization and Health

The Annapurna Circuit trek reaches high altitudes, so acclimatization is key to preventing altitude sickness. Plan rest days and make sure to stay hydrated. Carry medications for altitude sickness, as well as other essentials like pain relievers and blister treatment.

Mental Preparation

The Annapurna Circuit is long and demanding, so mental endurance is just as important as physical preparation. Be ready for varied conditions, long days of trekking, and basic accommodation.

We prioritize local guides who are well-acquainted with the region, offering valuable insights and expert navigation. Himalaya Trip is a trustworthy organization that takes the following safety measures:

  • Trek leaders and guides have years of experience guiding treks, ensuring your comfort, safety, and security.
  • Our guides have full wilderness first aid training.
  • Throughout the walk, our guide will encourage and motivate you.
  • In trekking regions, we check the cleanliness of meals and lodging.
  • Our trek leaders can cancel or continue a tour if someone gets sick.
  • We have all of the necessary tools, equipment, and first aid supplies.
  • In case of crisis, we will send out a helicopter to evacuate people (insurance coverage).

Can you do Annapurna Circuit Trek alone?

Yes, you can do Annapurna Circuit Trek alone. However, it is generally not recommended. Traveling solo can include more risk compared to traveling in a group or with a guide. You can get a certain advantage if you travel alone. Solo trekking offers you a sense of freedom, and you can also trek at your own pace. The trail is well-marked, and you will likely meet other trekkers who can be your friends. However, if you do not find one, navigating high-altitude regions, unpredictable weather, and rough terrains alone can be risky.

Additionally, in the more remote sections of the trek, fewer people may be around to help in case of emergencies or if you encounter any issues like altitude sickness, injuries, or route confusion. To reduce this risk, we generally recommend you trek in a group or hire a guide or porter. It is common practice, even for solo trekkers, as they can offer valuable local knowledge and support. Overall, although a solo trek is possible, we generally do not suggest you choose one for your safety.


Accommodation and Food on Annapurna Circuit Trek

The most common means of accommodation for Annapurna Circuit Trek is the teahouse. The teahouses do not provide you with luxurious accommodation services. However, you do not have to compromise with comfort staying here. With basic facilities such as twin beds, blankets, and shared bathrooms, you will also get the option for hot showers if you pay an additional charge of $3. However, as you trek higher, the facilities become simpler, with limited services like solar-heated showers and shared squat toilets. Teahouses also have common areas where you can socialize and enjoy meals. The cost of accommodations is generally low but can increase slightly at higher altitudes.

The food in the Annapurna Circuit is offered by teahouses. Catering to both vegetarians and nonvegetarians, you will get multiple food options during the journey. However, you will not get the cities like food. Here is the breakdown of food you can get in the Annapurna Circuit Trek:

  • Breakfast: Simple Breakfast (Eggs, any item has-brown potato, toast or Tibetan Bread, Pancake, Muesli, Oat Porridge, etc.)

The season offers a variety of blooming flowers, new vegetation, breathtaking mountain views, and stunning blue skies. It makes one of the best times of the year. Many people travel in spring because in this season, there is little to no rain, and the weather is pleasant. But it can be chilly at higher elevations.

Is Annapurna Circuit Trek Suitable for You?

To find out whether or not the Annapurna Circuit Trek is suitable for you, you first need to understand your fitness level. If you have a decent fitness level and would love to have a new, challenging experience in the Himalayas, Circuit Trek can be for you. While prior trekking experience is not needed, it can be helpful for you. You have to hike daily for about 5 to 6 hours in the rugged ascends and descends, and the trek also passes through high altitudes over 5,000 meters.

If you are comfortable with all this and can handle long walks, high altitude, and unpredictable weather, the trek is definitely achievable for you. However, if you are new to hiking and are not sure of your fitness level, you can either choose some other easy, short-day trail or work hard and make yourself ready for it. Not just being physically fit is essential. Having good mental resilience is also a key to a successful trek. As the trek also passes through remote areas where facilities may be basic, you should have some level of self-sufficiency and patience.
