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.

The Annapurna Circuit is considered one of the most adventurous classic treks in the world. Taking you on a round trip of the Annapurna region, there's no other walk like this one that goes from the dry lowlands to high passes crossing several ethnic villages on the way.
This two-week-long journey also includes crossing one of the high passes of Nepal, Thorang La Pass, situated at an elevation of 5416m. During the trek, you get to experience the thrill of crossing high altitude pass which is also considered one of the toughest in Nepal.
As the trek takes you on a round journey of the Annapurna region, you go from the small villages on the low altitude to the popular Manang region of Nepal. During the circuit trip, you get to relish some spectacular sights of the Annapurna mountain range with several other peaks.
The trail of the Annapurna circuit trek is mostly filled with Gurung, Tamang, and Thakali communities. It is once a lifetime opportunity for you to experience the day-to-day life and culture of the ethnic communities of the region.
You get to visit several ancient Buddhist monasteries during the Annapurna Circuit trek. Except that, you also get an opportunity to visit the sacred Hindu pilgrimage site, Muktinath. The site is holy for both Buddhist and Hindu religions with their interpretation.
Narayan Baniya (nature pathfinder) and Sumir Gyawali (yoga teacher) guide me in this adventure. Actually they manage perfectly my short time and all the noisy burocratic thinks like documents or Covid control. They makes me feel safely and had care of me since the moment I reserved .. now I’m at home and still feel the power of their experience, friendship and good nature. They makes me “enter” in the Nepali lifestyle, from metropolitan Kathmandu until the top of the mountain were the vibes are soo deep. Their good vibes are compatible with all, Sumir had a clinical yogi eye and Narayan the calm you need to arrive over the clouds.. it was like a day dreaming and I never forget this experience out of time. Thank you Antonio
A great & well organised experience. I highly recommend Himalayan recreation to anyone planning to trek to the Annapurna Basecamp. Everything from start to finish was all taken care of, taking away all of the stress of organisation so that I could focus on enjoying the trek. Ashok was very responsive on whatsapp at all times and was able to adapt the tour when circumstances changed. For example, when my flight to Pokhara was cancelled, Ashok arranged for a friendly driver to take me all the way there by private car instead (I did have to wait 1.5 hours for the driver, but traffic in Kathmandu is difficult). My guide Santosh and porter Bal were very friendly and accommodating and were good company during the trek. They have the English skills required to answer the majority of questions, particularly relating to the trek. Overall, a very good experience. The trek itself is very beautiful. It has everything, including rural villages with rice terraces, bamboo forests, and epic mountains. The accommodation is basic but everything you need for a trek (much better than camping). The weather forecast is inaccurate - I enjoyed decent weather despite the forecast being constant rain/thunder. I found the difficulty to be much easier than others state, and could have completed the trek in 5-6 days. Almost anyone with a decent level of fitness would be able to complete this trek (adjusting the duration to accommodate).
The Annupurna Poon Hill Trip is a lovely trek through the lower elevations of the Annupurna range of the Himalayas. Starting from Pokhara, a 90 minute drive in a taxi drops us off at the beginning of the trek and then goes up from there. My guide, Raj, was absolutely awesome and provided a lot of great information about the area during our trek over the several days that this trek takes place. The second day of the climb takes us to the small town of Ghorepani, and then an early climb the next morning to Poon Hill. I went on this trip in the 2nd year of the virus. According to my guide, the number of travelers was still way down from pre-pandemic years. So, in one way, it is a great time to travel since you will have most of the trails to yourself. The tea houses are also pretty empty. The negative side to this is that there are limited menu items and several places didn't have WiFi. There are a few recommendations I would make about this trip. The first is the ride from Kathmandu to Pokhara. I took the bus and regretted it about halfway there. While the distance is only 200 km, it took about 8 hours on the bus. If I were to do this again, I would have opted for a 30 minute flight. It costs more, but is so worth it. Second, make sure you bring toilet paper with you on the trek. The tea houses I stayed in during my trek didn't have any. So, bringing a roll of your own is a huge help. And speaking of bathrooms, most of the toilets along the route are not the western style sit-down toilets. Rather they are the hole in the grounds. So, make sure to use the bathroom before leaving the tea house since the next western-style toilet isn't until the next guest house, which could be a half day hike away. Finally, if you have time after the trek, spend an extra day in Pokhara. It is much more interesting than Kathmandu. Otherwise, the trek was wonderful and the folks at Himalayan Recreation did a great job in staying in touch, picking me up at the airport when I arrived in Nepal, and provided excellent service all the way through.
This trip was the first we took with those guys. It was very nice, guide was interesting and gave us a lot information about Bhaktapur and Nepal itself. After they arranged few more trips for us. First was Chitwan national park and jeep safari. After Pokhara and paragliding. And then return to Kathmandu. It was very helpful to have someone local there who can arrange flights, pick ups, all the activities and return wherever needed. We didn't have more time, but all the time we had, they managed to organize for us, without stressing or worrying. I truly recommend them, because they are very responsible and helpful for any situation. I firstly met them in Kathmandu for our first trip and they helped us with all the others.

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.
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.
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 is a difficult grade trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal as it involves crossing the high pass 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. Trekkers are needed to be fitted with high stamina and without any pre-existing health conditions for initiating this grade of the trek. Suitable for trekkers looking for a demanding and stirring trek of two weeks long in a rugged and wild environment, the Annapurna Circuit trek is the best.

The length of the Annapurna Circuit Trek depends on where you start and end your trek and any customizations made with side trips on the original itinerary. In general, the circuit trek can be completed in 12-24 days.
The Annapurna Circuit trek falls under moderate-difficult trekking grade. As the trek is one of the longest journeys in the region that takes you on a round trip around the Annapurna massifs. It involves persistent hikes on varied terrain along with a high pass, Thorong La Pass (5,416m). You need to be physically fit and healthy with the ability to walk 5-7 hours each day for 2 weeks to complete this trek.
The best time of the year to do the Annapurna circuit trek is during autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). The skies are usually clear with moderate temperature during these times. You can easily get a chance to relish some exceptional views of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri mountain range in the spring and autumn seasons. Trekking in other seasons like; monsoon and winter can be risky and troublesome, so we suggest you avoid these times.
Yes, your Annapurna circuit trip is departure guaranteed. Our booked trips are always guaranteed to run which will not be affected by the number of trekkers and even if other trekkers cancel their trip, the operation does not stop. So, rest assured and remember Himalayan Recreation for any last-minute bookings as the departure is always guaranteed unless there is a situation that is out of our control such as a natural disaster, pandemic, epidemic, political riots, etc.
Absolutely Yes, the Annapurna circuit trek is totally worth it. From the low village area to the high pass, the trek gives you an entire Himalayan experience in one journey. You get to witness magical sights of the Himalayas while also learning about the ethnic culture and lifestyle of the Annapurna region during this trek.
The cost for the Annapurna circuit can range from $1100 to $2000 depending on the route you choose to take and any extra side trips added to the original itinerary.
Yes, since the region is not restricted, there is no restriction for you to trek on your own if you have the necessary permits. But as the trek is more than 2 weeks long in the high altitude, trekking alone can be risky. Also, keep in mind, if you choose to trek solo, you'll have to arrange everything from accommodation, permits to necessary equipment on your own.
The trails to Annapurna circuit trek have enough tea-houses and lodges for your accommodation. Still, You'll need a winter sleeping bag that can handle below-freezing temperatures for the Annapurna Circuit trek. If you have a sleeping bag that's rated around -6º or -10ºC you can bring that along for an autumn trek.
No, you cannot see Everest from Annapurna Circuit trek as it lies on the total opposite side. You can view the mountain range of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchre along several other peaks from the Annapurna Circuit trek.
Both Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit are the two best treks in Nepal with distinct beauty and charm. In terms of difficulty and hardness, Everest Base Camp is more difficult as it is a far longer route than the Annapurna circuit, and also the altitude you'll reach on the Everest Base camp is higher than that of the Annapurna circuit.
The Annapurna region is quite developed when it comes to accommodation facilities. You can find small tea houses with a homestay feeling all along the trail which can vary from each other. But, all the tea houses provide the room with necessary items. You can also enjoy the warmth of the local heater in the evening and morning time in the dining of the tea houses.
First and foremost, you need two permits for the Annapurna circuit trek which are- the TIMS permit card and the Annapurna conservation area permit card. After you've issued the necessary permits, start packing the necessary items for the trek including all the essential clothes and equipment.

Usually, crampons are not needed for the Annapurna circuit trek if you are trekking during the spring and autumn season. But if you are preparing to trek in winter or monsoon, then crampons may be needed. It is better to have crampons in the off-season as the weather will be unpredictable with slippery and snow-filled trails.
