Annapurna Circuit Trekking Difficulty Level
Annapurna Circuit Trekking is a difficult grade trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal as it involves crossing the Thorang La pass situated above 5000m. This level of trekking is comparatively harder than moderate-level trekking and requires previous trekking or hiking experience.
The trek involves hiking on rough landscapes and glacier crossings. You need to walk for 5 to 6 hours on average for 14 days during this challenging excursion. Thus, to complete the trek, one must be in good physical health while having strong stamina.
It is best if you have previous trekking experience in high altitudes. As the trek is lengthy and requires walking on a steep trail at an altitude of over 5000 m, it is most suitable for trekkers looking for a demanding and stirring trek. As for beginners, it is highly recommended to start doing physical exercise to build stamina while also going on short hikes and treks in high altitudes.
Safety and Acclimatization for the Annapurna Circuit Trek
The highest point you will reach during the trek is Thorang La Pass, at an elevation of 5416 m, which invites the risk of altitude sickness. Especially for beginner trekkers, there is a high chance of gaining altitude sickness which is a common concern during high-altitude treks. However, it is preventable with proper precautions and treatment.
The trek we have designed includes a very slow walk with rests at certain points. We have a separate acclimatization day at Manang to help you adjust to the altitude. Furthermore, you will not be walking for more than 6 hours at maximum during the trek, and you will have a gradual ascend, which will prevent you from having altitude sickness. Make sure to walk at your own pace while keeping your body in check.
As more precaution, we also encourage you to keep yourself hydrated constantly all along the trek and stay away from all the alcoholic drinks. Our team will make sure that your safety is the top priority during the trek.
Thus, you can rest assured of having an adventure of a lifetime. If you prefer to have more rest days in between the journey, then we can customize the itinerary accordingly. Moreover, in case of sickness, you will be brought down to a lower altitude by our team immediately.
