Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

Annapurna Circuit Trek spans over 180 km covering four different districts and encircling the entire Annapurna massif. Annapurna Circuit Trek embodies a complete adventure while exploring the Buddhism dominant villages and Himalayas, also known as Annapurna Round Trek. With serene trails and climbs that go as high as 5416 meters at Thorong La Pass, the Annapurna Circuit Trek is a journey that never slows down and reveals a new experience at every turn of the trail.

This 18-days Annapurna Circuit trek begins at the capital city of Nepal –Kathmandu. After your arrival, you’ll embark on a brief cultural tour of Kathmandu city and explore some of the famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The trek formally begins at Jagat, Lamjung which takes 7 to 8 hours of the commute from Kathmandu through the swirling hills of Nepal. The entire trek goes anti-clockwise and through the hills to the Himalayas. The gradually rising altitude furnishes a great chance to acclimatize en route. You’ll cross many villages in Lamjung namely Dharapani, Chame, and Pisang before entering the Manang district. In Manang, you’ll encounter mountains and esteemed Buddhist practices up close. From here, you’ll make an ascent of one of the biggest passes in the world, Thorong La Pass (5416m), before reaching the other side to Mustang. Here on, the landscape is entirely semi-arid and desert-like. You’ll descend to Muktinath, a religious destination for thousands of annual Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Moving further you'll descend and make your way to Marpha via Jomsom, the headquarters of Mustang district. From here, it’s a continuous descent. The trek concedes at Tatopani, from where you’ll catch your commute back to Pokhara city.

Before You Go

Best time to trek Annapurna Circuit

Weather plays an important role in determining the trekking destination, especially, if it is a high-altitude trek. In the case of Nepal,  although it is possible to trek throughout the year, there are different pros and cons of trekking in every season. Spring and autumn are the two seasons considered best to trek in Nepal as these are the seasons offering comparatively more favours. 

As a high-altitude trek, the Annapurna Circuit trek is most safe and pleasing when trekked in the spring and autumn seasons. Spring and Autumn are the most suitable time to enjoy the diverse range of scenery that the region offers without much trouble. In the spring season, you can enjoy very delightful weather with clear skies. The temperature is average with several plants & flowers along with rhododendrons starting to bloom during this season. Similar to the spring season, autumn is another perfect season to trek to the Annapurna region. The weather is very clear with moderate temperatures in the autumn as well. You can also try trekking in the monsoon and winter if you want a less-crowded trail. But keep in mind that trekking in these seasons can be a little difficult because of the weather and temperatures.


Food during Annapurna Circuit Trek

Compared to other regions, the Annapurna region is developed and advanced. But when it comes to high altitude, there is not much development. Thus, the food during the trek is simple and hygienic. The menu generally includes traditional village foods that consist of traditional bread, eggs, potatoes, and soup for breakfast while lunch and dinner items include Dal Bhat (lentil soup, rice, and veggies), fried rice, noodles, etc depending on the lodge and destination. 


Accommodation during Annapurna Circuit Trek

Similar to the food availability, the accommodation facility during the Annapurna circuit trek is very simple. You can enjoy the hotel rooms with in-room showers, western-style flush toilets, a Free WIFI connection, and in-room plugs to charge your stuff at the beginning of the trek. But as you ascend to a higher elevation, electricity is scarce and there won't be the availability of Wifi connections, and hot water showers. The rooms in higher elevation come with general facilities like warm Beds and washrooms, etc. 


Annapurna Circuit Trek difficulty
