The Annapurna circuit trek is a popular trek that will take you through a trail of  diverse landscapes, dry cliffs, rural farming and subtropical rainforest. You can explore ancient village areas, Buddhist and Hindu temples and monasteries during this trek. The route will also welcome you with the scenic views of Himalayas like Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Nilgiri, Machhapuchhare, Lamjung, Tukuche peak, Manaslu peak and Tilicho peak.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek has been considered as one of the best treks in the world, easily compared to the eternal treks like Everest Base Camp Trek or Langtang Valley Trek . This trek gives you a chance to experience the wonderful cultural and traditional lifestyle of both Hindu and Buddhist. From the lush vegetation of the Annapurna Conservation Area to the rarefied air of the high-altitude mountains itself, you’ll hike across a variety of unique temperature zones.

The Annapurna circuit trek also includes climbing Thorung La Pass (5,416m), traversing the world’s deepest gorge (Kali Gandaki Gorge), viewing the Himalayas at sunrise from Poon Hill, visiting Muktinath Temple (a significant Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage site), and cooling off in Tatopani’s hot springs.

The route of Annapurna Circuit Trek will take you through a variety of climatic zones, passing through rice paddies, subtropical forests, rural farming, and glacial zones at altitudes ranging from 800m to 5,416m. 

On the trek through the Mustang valleys, you will get the opportunity to learn about Tibetan culture. There is a slim chance of spotting a snow leopard and blue sheep in Yak Kharka. We’ll also stop in Tatopani, a popular hot springs destination where you can relax.

The months of October and November, or April and May for the Annapurna Circuit, are often regarded as the best times for trekking. When traveling to high altitudes during these two seasons, it is not too chilly because the weather usually remains clear and dry.

The Annapurna Circuit trek rises from 600m to 5,416m at Thorong La High Pass. Thus, you will get the opportunity to see various flora and animals as well as constantly changing weather differences.

All of the guesthouses feature similar amenities. Unlike in Pokhara or Kathmandu, there are no upscale hotels along the route. Rooms are simple, with two single beds, blankets, and perhaps a table and a chair. Trekkers spend the most of their time in the dining room since it is the warmest space in the hotel.

At high elevations, we highly recommend fluids such as green tea, lemon tea, hot lemon, ginger tea, garlic soup, and fresh vegetables. We also recommend trying dal (lentils), bhat (rice), tarkari (curry), momos (dumplings), and Chow Mein (noodles). Though there will be lots of non-veg things accessible in the trekking areas, we do not recommend them because the meat in such places may not be sanitary or healthful. We strongly advise you to avoid dairy, alcoholic beverages, caffeinated beverages, and hot chocolate.
