Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

Nepal Trekking Experts feels proud to introduce you to one of the major fascinating trekking routes in Nepal, Annapurna. Annapurna Circuit Trek is located in the western part of Nepal. This trek has been considered one of the world’s greatest treks. Like all great journeys, the trek reveals itself gradually climbing through subtropical scenery to a Tibetan-influenced valley and over the High Thorong La to the Kaligandaki valley, a desert-like Trans-Himalayan region that was once a vital trade corridor to Tibet. The side trips that line the circuit rank among Nepal’s most spectacular, so this one of the treks is not too rushed. Trekkers need two different permits to trek the Annapurna region such as TIMS Card and Annapurna conservation area permits. Nepal Trekking Experts will provide you with information and organize hassle-free trips.

The mountain views are flawless the variety of scenery is hard to match and the villages and monasteries you pass offer an exotic slice of Nepali, Tibetan, and Trans-Himalayan culture. It will offer such massive waterfalls and excellent meals and accommodation whenever you need it. If you have enough time, Annapurna Round Trek offers to combine various sorts of trekking routes such as Nar Phu, Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake, Mesokanto La 5120m, Thorong La 5416m, Short Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Ghorepani, Annapurna Base Camp, etc. You never get such an opportunity in another trek. You will have another great chance to explore the deepest gorge of the world Dana Gorge comparing two eight thousand peaks Dhaulagiri (8167m) and Annapurna first (8091m).

Likewise, you may prefer the less advertised and less explored trekking routes, such as the Manaslu Circuit Trek, Nar Phu Valley Trek, or the Upper Mustang Trek. According to your duration of vacation and interest in Nepal, Trekking Experts designs perfect holidays to make them exceptional. Please do not hesitate to discuss with our experts for more details.

Annapurna High Pass Trek Difficulty

The Annapurna High Pass Trek is considered moderately challenging, making it an excellent choice for trekkers with some experience or physically fit beginners. The trek involves ascending to an altitude of 4,130 meters (13,550 feet), which requires good endurance and acclimatization. Furthermore, the trails of the Annapurna Round Trek vary from well-paved paths to rocky, uneven terrains, with numerous stone staircases that can be physically demanding, especially on the knees and thighs. On a similar note, long hours of walking, averaging 6-7 hours per day, combined with frequent ascents and descents, add to the physical demands of the trek.

On the other hand, do not forget the unpredictable weather conditions in the Himalayas, especially as you near the Thorong La Pass. 

Best Time To Trek Around Annapurna

For perfect weather, dry trails, blooming landscapes, and clarity in view, Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the ideal seasons to trek around Annapurna. During Spring, the trails come alive with vibrant colors, fresh blooms, and the awakening of wildlife. The weather is mild and the higher you ascend, the daytime temperatures remain pleasant, and the skies are usually clear, offering stunning, unobstructed views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges. Similarly, during Autumn, the weather is generally stable, with mild temperatures during the day and cooler evenings at higher elevations. This calls for a more enjoyable journey with crisp and fresh air all along, as you make your way through the terraced fields and forests of rhododendron, pine, and oak, with the majestic Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges towering in the background.

Annapurna Round Trekking Permits:

When trekking with Nepal Trekking Experts, the permit fees are included in your package. Your experienced guide will obtain all required permits on your behalf with your passport. To enter the Annapurna region, you will require two permits, which can both be obtained in Kathmandu or Pokhara before commencing your trek.

  • The TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System) Card costs 2000 Nepali rupees, and as per the latest rule, it will be obtained through the trekking agencies only.
  • The Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), which costs 3000 Nepali rupees, is available through the Nepal Tourism Board, Bhirkutimandap Kathmandu, or Pokhara.

Useful Information

Tips For A Successful Annapurna Trekking Adventure

  • Strengthen your core, legs, and stamina before embarking on this adventure. 
  • Plan rest days in your itinerary, especially at higher altitudes.
  • Use water purification tablets or a filtration system for safe drinking water.
  • Expect cold temperatures, especially at Thorong La Pass (5,416 meters).
  • Trek in Spring (March-May) or Autumn (September-November) for stable weather and clear views.
  • Start early to avoid strong winds and harsh weather conditions.
  • Ensure your insurance covers high-altitude trekking and emergency evacuation.
  • Book accommodation in advance during peak seasons.

Accommodation During The Annapurna Loop Trail

There are plenty of tea houses to choose from in the famous Annapurna region of Nepal, so there's no need to carry camping or cooking supplies. The Annapurna routes are well-loved and well-traveled, meaning that tea houses ranging in quality have been established to meet the range of needs of travelers. At lower elevations and busier areas, you can choose more fully equipped tea houses with electricity, wifi, and en suite bathrooms with hot showers and western toilets. There are also more rustic, basic tea houses available, especially at higher elevations, that have simple rooms and basic services. Bathrooms might be shared and have a squat-style toilet. At these tea houses, you can pay a small fee for services such as wifi and hot showers. We provide you with a clean, -20°C sleeping bag to keep you cozy and warm.

Meals During The Annapurna Loop Trail

Food in the Annapurna Region of Nepal is delicious and plentiful, with a range of options to suit your preferences. The menus at tea houses are usually quite large, especially considering you are trekking into the Himalayas, but it's important to note that most tea houses offer similar food options. You can choose from a variety of local dishes, including Dal Bhat (rice, vegetable curry, and lentil soup with unlimited refills!), fried rice or noodles, Mo Mo (local dumplings), Thukpa (Tibetan noodle soup), spring rolls, or western dishes like burgers, pasta, pizza, and potatoes. For breakfast, you can enjoy local chapati bread or Tibetan bread with curry or go for more familiar eggs, porridge, muesli, or pancakes. This trek is vegetarian and vegan-friendly, but if you have any other dietary restrictions, you can let us know, and your guide will communicate with the kitchen staff.

Your package with Nepal Trekking Experts includes a dinner in Kathmandu before you leave for your trek and three meals a day (with tea or coffee) every day of the trek, including travel days. If you'd like, you can purchase extra snacks, desserts, or fancy coffees when they're available.

Transportation To The Annapurna Circuit Hiking

All transportation fees and arrangements are included in your trekking package when you book with Nepal Trekking Experts. To start your adventure in the Annapurna region, there are many transport options depending on your interest, time frame, and budget. A common route is to travel via bus or microvan from Kathmandu (Gongabu Bus Park) to Besisahar (6–7 hours) and then continue to your starting point via a local Jeep. Common starting points include Bhulbhule, Jagat, Dharapani, Chame, and Manang. The further you travel via Jeep, the less trekking you will do by foot. This shortens the length of your trek, which can be a great option if you have less time or are adding other, lesser-traveled regions to your trek, such as Tilicho Lake, Nar Phu Valley, or Nar Phu Thorong La.

Please be aware that the buses in Nepal can be overcrowded (especially if you are traveling during festival time), not particularly tidy, and will stop in villages along the route to pick up and drop off more people. Bus rides can be part of the exciting, immersive experience of being in a foreign country, but they are not for everyone. If you would like a more comfortable alternative, we can arrange a private jeep from Kathmandu all the way to your starting point. Jeeps shorten your travel time considerably, and you can stop for breaks at your leisure. With so many travel options, we'd be happy to talk things through with you to find what suits you best.

Battery Charging, Telephone Service, And Internet During Annapurna Trekking Adventure

Battery Charging

Despite trekking deep into the Himalayas, most of the tea houses have either electricity or solar power. Depending on the tea house, you might be able to charge your devices in your rooms. Otherwise, you can pay a few dollars (paid in local rupees) to charge your battery in the main dining hall. Carrying a power bank is recommended during your trek in the Annapurna region.

Telephone Service

Nowadays, most villages have phone service and mobile reception, although it can be quite unpredictable. NCELL and Nepal Telecom are the two major SIM card providers. Nepal Telecom is recommended by NTE for better reception in the Annapurna region. You can purchase a SIM card in Kathmandu when you arrive.

Internet

Many tea houses have wifi to purchase for around 3-5 dollars per hour, which is paid in local Nepali rupees. Please be aware that internet services may not be completely reliable due to weather and other issues.

Porter

Our tailor-made packages do not include a porter, so you can make the decision based on your own needs and preferences. Although not necessary, having a porter can make a massive difference in the enjoyment of your trek. If you are new to trekking at high altitudes, then we would recommend having a porter in the Annapurna region carry your bag across the rugged terrain. One porter carries the bags of two people (around 20 kg) so that you can carry a small daypack. If you are undecided, we would be happy to discuss porters in more detail when you book your trek.

  • Moisture-wicking thermal tops and bottoms (2-3 pairs)
  • Fleece or down jacket
  • Waterproof and windproof jacket and pants
  • Lightweight, quick-dry pants (2-3 pairs)
  • Insulated hat or beanie
  • Warm, insulated gloves and lightweight inner gloves
  • Quick-drying and comfortable (4-5 pairs)

Footwear:

  • Wool or synthetic trekking socks (4-5 pairs)
  • Sturdy, waterproof, and well-broken trekking boots
  • Lightweight sandals or sneakers

Other Equipment:

  • 40-50L backpack with a rain cover

  • Power bank and adapters

Travel Insurance

The trek to Thorong La Pass takes you to remote regions and high altitudes, where medical facilities are scarce, and evacuation can be costly. A comprehensive travel insurance policy should cover high-altitude trekking (up to 5,416 meters, the height of Thorong La Pass), emergency medical treatment, and helicopter evacuation in case of severe illness or injury. Without such coverage, the costs of emergency evacuations or treatments can be financially overwhelming. Likewise, this plan must also cover any unexpected events like trip cancellations, delays, or loss of personal belongings. So, you must thoroughly read the policy before buying the plan. 

Nepalese Currency and Payment

The currency of Nepal is the rupee. The ideal currencies for exchange are those of the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, and Singapore, as well as the Euro, any of which can be readily exchanged in either Kathmandu or Pokhara.

Credit and debit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are accepted in major tourist-class hotels, restaurants, airlines, and larger stores in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan, Pokhara, etc. A surcharge of 3.5% is typically levied on all purchases or payments.

ATMs are also very common in Kathmandu and Pokhara, with Thamel being a particular area of focus for their use. Some ATMs only allow a daily maximum of Rs 10, 000 to be withdrawn, while others allow for as much as Rs 35, 000. A charge of USD $4 is usually applied per transaction, on top of which your own bank may also apply a fee of its own.

Can I get an on-arrival visa in Nepal?

On arrival in Nepal, you can obtain the requisite visa at Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu, or you can choose the alternative of applying for it at the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate in your home country before departure. The visa is also available at land-based points of entry such as Birgunj, Kakarbhitta, Bhairawa, Belhiya, Nepalgunj, Dhangadi, and Mahendranagar. The Kodari Pass is the access point from Tibet where the visa can be obtained.

While you can use different modes of payment at the visa fee counter, we advise you to bring cash in the following currencies: US dollars, euros, Swiss francs, pound sterling, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Singapore dollars, and Japanese yen. Credit card payments are also available nowadays.

As per a recent update, the visa fee costs you the following amounts:

  • Multiple entries for 15 days—USD 30 or equivalent
  • Multiple entries for 30 days—USD 50 or equivalent
  • Multiple entries for 90 days—USD 125 or equivalent
  • You should also have a minimum of six months of validity remaining on your passport.
  • Visa extensions are available from the offices of Nepal Immigration in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
  • For more details, please go through our Nepal immigration website or contact us.

  • Accommodation:Tea house

We leave Kathmandu’s frenetic streets today for the drive to the starting point of the trek Jagat, nestled between the high peaks of the Annapurna and Mt. Manaslu – the world’s 8th highest peak. It’s a scenic drive through terraced hills along rivers as we pass by lush rice paddies and quiet villages on the way. The first part of the journey is on a pitched road to Besishahar where we take lunch. We then take a jeep on a dirt road to our final destination to Jagat.

  • Max. Altitude:1960m/6430ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

More waterfalls await as the trail leads over ever-suspenseful suspension bridges toward the picturesque village of Tal (meaning lake) and continues to Dharapani along further stone steps.

  • Max. Altitude:2650m/8694ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

The day begins with a continuation of the trail as it follows the Marsyangdi River through additional forests, with views of Manaslu and the Annapurnas becoming clearer during the ascent. A brief pause at the village of Timang gives a perfect opportunity to further bathe in the scenery before the trek starts again towards Chame and a welcome rest after climbing over 700 meters in the day.

  • Max. Altitude:3300m/10827ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

Two routes are available at this point, though the trail to Upper Pisang is easily the most rewarding as it offers some of the best views across the Marsyangdi valley towards the looming Annapurna massif. The village itself is scenically perfect in its setting and provides unique insights into the traditional lives of the valley's inhabitants.

  • Max. Altitude:3519m/11545ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

The path leads on again through Gheru and Nagwal, each showcasing contrasting building styles from the upper valley. Further along the trail the old village of Braga offers up a perfectly situated monastery to pause and reflect on, after which the path heads toward Manang.

  • Max. Altitude:4600 meters/15092 feet, Ice Lake
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

A rest day, the main purpose of which is to allow the body to acclimate to the increase in altitude. Several possibilities are available, including hiking in the nearby hills to help the acclimation process or simply just relaxing in the town and taking in the magnificent views. NTE recommends hiking the stunning Ice Lake, which is known as the most beautiful viewpoint and offers undisturbed panoramic views of the Chulu ranges, Annapurna ranges, and Thorong La in the distance.

  • Max. Altitude:4110m/13484ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

Leaving behind the pine and fir forests from the lower slopes, the trail leads on through Old Manang into the pure alpine regions of the upper valley. The trek is a shorter one by necessity because of the altitude gain, and the day's hike concludes with a pleasant hike to Yak Kharka.

  • Max. Altitude:4450m/14600ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

Another short day of hiking through the mountain wilderness thanks to the need to acclimate to the higher altitudes. By midday, the trail leads into Thorong Phedi, the penultimate destination before reaching the trek's apex at Thorong La.

  • Max. Altitude:5416 meters/17769 feet, Thorong La Pass
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

The grand finale of the steady climb through the valley, peaking at one of the Himalayas' highest passes, Thorong La, after a pre-dawn departure from Thorong Phedi. It's a day to celebrate a worthy achievement, not least for the effort taken to make the last final push to the pass and its myriad prayer flags fluttering in the mountain breeze. From there the trail descends steeply towards Muktinath and its glorious outlook towards Dhaulagiri. Muktinath is held to be sacred by both Buddhists and Hindus, who view the town and its temple as a pilgrimage site to be visited at least once in their lives.

  • Max. Altitude:2743m/8999ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
  • Accommodation:Tea house

The final leg of the trek via Kagbeni offers fine Himalayan scenery and glimpses of the restricted and highly secluded region of Upper Mustang. Kagbeni itself, situated in peaceful surroundings by the Kali Gandaki River, is also sacred to Hindus. The trail leads on by the river all the way to Jomsom, a sizeable town that serves as the central administrative and transport hub for the region.

  • Max. Altitude:822m/2697ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast and Lunch
  • Accommodation:3 star hotel

The drive from Jomsom to Pokhara is a lengthy, if adventurous, journey, while the much shorter option of a direct flight is also an option. With enough time, a side trip to nearby Tatopani and its natural hot springs is also available and certainly worth considering for its recuperative effects on weary limbs.

  • Max. Altitude:1400m/4593ft.
  • Meals:Breakfast

    FAQs for Annapurna Circuit Trek

    • Thorong La, the mountain pass on the Annapurna Circuit, is 5,416 meters (17,769 feet) above sea level.

    • The Annapurna Circuit Trek is considered strenuous due to its length (12–22 days), elevation (5,416 m/17,769 ft), and overall challenging terrain. The trek includes lots of long ascents and descents, which are a thrill for experienced trekkers and a big challenge for those who are less experienced or have pre-existing ailments such as knee issues. Someone with overall good physical health who prepares for the trek with pre-training will be able to complete the trek with minimal difficulty. However, since it is walking on a clear trail and not mountain climbing, beginners can do it as well.

    • Depending on the route that you choose, the Annapurna Circuit takes as few as 12 days or as long as 22 days, covering anywhere from 160 km to 230 km by foot. Each trekking package is crafted especially for you based on your needs, preferences, and time frame. A shorter trek would mean driving farther along the route, and a longer trek could include more rest days, day trips, or even exploring additional regions off of the main route.

    • The Annapurna Circuit is open all year round for trekkers; however, the weather is most favorable and conducive to trekking in autumn and spring. Autumn, specifically October, is the busiest time of year because the monsoon season will have just finished, leaving the skies clear and the trails less dusty. If you are looking for a less busy time, you can go trekking in September, November, or even December, January, and February. Trekking in low seasons like December, January, and February is the best way to avoid crowds and enjoy the stunning nature. For the spring season, the best weather usually starts in March and lasts until May, when the rain starts.

    • Yes, comprehensive medical insurance is essential for trekking the Annapurna Circuit. Pay close attention to the details of your insurance package to ensure that it includes high-altitude trekking, hospitalization, and medical evacuation.

    • Altitude sickness is the most common challenge for people trekking the Annapurna Circuit and can affect anyone, even well-prepared trekkers. Precautions are set in place, such as increasing elevation gradually, drinking enough water (you have to be hydrated all the time), balancing meals, properly dressing up, well-acclimatizing, avoiding drinking and smoking over 3000 meters, hiking higher and sleeping lower to support your acclimatization and overall enjoyment of the trek.

    • Tea houses are scattered along the whole route, with both local Nepali dishes and Western food available. Tap or river water is not safe to drink anywhere in Nepal, but you can purchase bottles of mineral water or boiled water. To preserve the environment, we would recommend that you bring your water purification system, such as purification tablets, a life straw, or a steripen. You can save the environment and your budget as well.

    • Please go through our trekking gear pack list for more details 

      Recommended trekking gear pack list by Nepal Trekking Experts

    • A high-quality, extreme-temperature (negative 15/20 degrees Celsius) sleeping bag is recommended when trekking in the Himalayas. The rental of a clean sleeping bag is included in your trekking package if you do not want to bring your own. No camping gear is required because you will be sleeping in tea houses along the whole trekking route.

    • You can leave any extra gear in Kathmandu and carry only what you need. If you have any valuables that you would like kept safe while you're away, you can utilize our safe located in the Nepal Trekking Experts office, which is only accessible by the company owner, Rajesh.

    • Be sure to trek with local Nepali rupees for personal purchases such as snacks and souvenirs. Foreign currency and cards are not accepted, and apart from Manang and Jomsom, there are no ATMs along the route.

    • Despite the latest rule of April 2023, you can still trek without a guide in the Annapurna Region. However, knowing the details about Nepal, its culture, flora, and fauna, not missing beautiful experiences, and taking a local guide would be worth it. You will get value for your hard-earned money. Your guide will be a member of our team who is professional, proficient in English, reliable, and trained in first-aid and rescue procedures.

    • A 10% deposit of the total amount is required to secure your place on one of our treks. The deposit can be paid through a secure and reliable online payment gateway on our website. Once settled in Kathmandu, you can pay the remainder in cash in USD, EUR, GBP, or local Nepali rupees. You also have the option to pay by card, which charges an additional fee of 3.5%, which is reinforced by the local banks in Nepal.

      Annapurna Circuit

      My friend and I hiked the Annapurna Circuit arranged by Nepal Trekking Experts. The months leading up to the hike was Rajesh a big help in answering questions, with an incredible fast response rate! We had a warm welcome when we arrived with a nice hotel, welcome dinner and help with buying/renting whatever we were missing for the hike. We had the pleasure of the company of our guide Kritam. Kritam was an incredible company to our hike. We learned a lot about the mountains and Nepalese culture while just having so much fun with lots of laughs! Kritam took care of our every need and made sure we got the best rooms and reserved a spot next to the fireplace in the evening. Very quickly did it feel like walking with a friend and not someone you just met. We truly made memories for life!

      Incredible experience- on you will never forget

      I couldn’t recommend this more to anyone! I was planning on doing my trek without a guide and I’m so glad I didn’t - having a guide and going with trekking experts made all the difference🙏🏼 I needed up with going with one other person and our guide , Basanta, who made the experience so much better! He did everything he could to make sure we had the best experience possible: from teaching us all about the mountains and the history, always making sure we were comfortable and happy, teaching us card games and so much more. His English was incredible and honestly his energy just made the experience so much better!
      As for the trek itself, the company has created an amazing route where you see all sorts of terrain, you can stop whenever and the views are seriously something you will not see anywhere else.
      I loved this experience so much! It is one I will truly never forget ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you thank you Basanta and trekking experts 🙏🏼🙏🏼
