Description of Annapurna Circuit Trek
Annapurna circuit Trek gives you an opportunity
to explore Himalaya experience of your life time.
This trek is one of contrasts between the green
terraced farmland of the Marshyangdi valley and the
semi-arid environs of Lower Mustang. The two areas
are separated by the Thorong La (5416m), which we
must cross on a long day, to reach the sacred site
of Muktinath. The temple complex is a pilgrimage
site for both Hindus and Buddhists and when seen
from here the sunrise on Dhaulagiri is particularly
striking. We descend into the world's deepest river
gorge, carved by the mighty Kali Gandaki, as it
slices between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri massifs.
The river is followed to the relaxing hot springs at
Tatopani before ascending to Poon Hill for our last
sunrise over the Annapurnas. |

ACCOMMODATION DURING THE TRIP:
In Kathmandu and Pokhara, we do provide 4 stars
hotel and 3 stars hotel respectively and during the
trekking, we provide you guest house which is called
Tea house. Tea Houses are more like hotels, with hot
showers, western food, and private rooms (twin
sharing). In this arrangement overnight halts with
dinner and breakfast will be in Tea-houses (Lodges)
and lunches in local restaurants en-route.
Furthermore as you will be staying in locally owned
lodges you will be benefiting and interacting with
the local community. It will give you a true feel
for the Nepalese people and their lives.
MEALS DURING THE TRIP:
In Kathmandu, we do provide you good breakfast and
While on trek you can expect to sample a variety of
local foods including such items as Tibetan fried
bread, soups, momos (steamed dumplings), daal bhat
(lentils and rice), tarkari (steamed, fried, or
curried vegetables), potatoes (prepared in dozens of
ways), pastas and even a version of pizza. Meats are
rarely eaten although you may have canned tuna or
sardines and the occasional yak stew. Breakfasts
typically consist of eggs (prepared in many ways),
hot porridge, muesli, toast, peanut butter and
honey. Hot tea is served at every meal. Although
food is looked upon as "fuel" rather than a
"culinary art", your cook will occasionally surprise
you with such delights as banana fritters and apple
crisps! You may want to bring your a few of your
favorite trail snacks. |

SOME
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BY OUR CUSTOMERS
Can I do Annapurna circuit
trek?
Since the terrain can be hard and the days long,
hikers on these treks should be in good physical
condition and have some previous mountain walking
experience. But It does not require any technical
experience. Steep climbing may be involved, although
it is never necessary to use ropes.
Do I need 23 days holiday
for Annapurna circuit trek?
It would be good, if can allow 23 days holiday for
Nepal Annapurna circuit trek. We do require 20 days
for trekking and we need three more days an extra
for arrival in Nepal and departure from Nepal and
one day for basic preparation so altogether it
requires minimum 23 days time for Nepal.
However, if you would not allow 23 days time, we can
design an itinerary according to your desire and
duration of your holiday. But you should have good
physical condition of finishing this trip less than
23 days.
When is the best season?
The best season for this trek is half of February to
June and September to early December.
Half of February to First week of June: From
the half of February until the first part of June
temperatures are relatively warm, 10° to 15° warmer
than in the fall. Mornings are bright and clear with
the air slowly becoming hazier as the day
progresses. The rhododendron forests in springtime
are spectacular, with color displays that are
"Himalayan" in beauty. June is warm and green with
many fewer people - the sense of solitude is much
greater than other seasons.
September to half of December: September to
early December is an ideal time for the best
mountain views. The days are typically sunny and
clear with moderate temperatures and the evenings
are usually quite cold.
Should I join with group?
It is not necessary; you have to join with group and
follow our fixed departure date. Private trip is
departure everyday upon your request.
As these routes in the hills provide special meeting
place for the trekkers from throughout the world,
traveling in group is not necessary. Rather you can
move at your own pace and set your own schedule by
not being in group. You can freely alter the routes
with in the limits imposed by your trekking permit
and your guide will reschedule your itinerary
accordingly.
But if you are interested to join with group, please
choose below mention departure dates as per your
requirement. We will try to arrange group for you.
