Annapurna

Annapurna Circuit trek, famously known as Round Annapurna Trek, is one of those journeys that combines the natural and human elements of the hills of Nepal in the most ideal manner possible. The trek is pleasant and adventurous at the same time. It is for a reason that the journey is one of the most popular ones in Nepal.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

Annapurna Circuit Trek is probably the best way to explore the entire Annapurna region. In one go, you can enjoy all the features that it has to offer. Altogether, Annapurna Circuit Trek is a 13 days long journey, which is a shorter version of the trek. There is also a longer version of the trek available, which lasts for 22 days. As per your interest, you could go to anyone of them.

The significant places that you’ll cover during the journey are Manang, Pisang, Dharapani, and so on. The entire journey takes place inside the Annapurna Conservation Area premises. It happens to be the largest and probably the richest protected area in Nepal. Another significant attraction that you’d come across during the trek is Muktinath Temple. It is a pilgrimage site significant for both Hindus and Buddhists.

In the same way, Jomsom Nepal happens to be one of the most beautiful towns that you cover during the trip. Finally, the attraction that is both beautiful and adds a certain amount of difficulty to the trip is Thorung La Pass. Quite dangerous to cross, it is a mountain pass situated at an elevation of 5545 m.

Annapurna Circuit Trek Highlight

Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of those trekking journeys that are full of hidden attractions and side trek possibilities. It’s near impossible to cover all of these features by sticking to the main route. Provided that you’re interested to visit these places, it is recommended that you get your hands on the Annapurna Circuit trek map. The map gives you every bit of information that you need to need to know about the region, including the attractions and the difficulties.

He will give you all the details about the attractions that you come across, and the necessary tips that will make your trip easy. A guide can prove to be your best friend on the trek.

Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty

Considering the elevation covered during the journey, the length of the trek, the terrain that the trekkers walk on, and the weather, Annapurna Circuit trek difficulty level can be marked at tough. It is one of those journeys in Nepal that is recommended to only the experienced trekkers. Without a doubt, the difficulties that the trekkers face on the trip have an active role in making the trek even more exciting.

We were part of a big noisy party that took the good with the bad with alot of humour. Our round trip took us from Kathmandu – Chitwan national park – Annapurna Treking circuit – Kathmandu. It was amazing! Nepal is full of big smiles and honest open-hearted welcoming people! Our guides were a perfect example of Nepalese candour and hospitality. The crocodiles and elephants in Chitwan were awesome. The highlight for me was the 5day trekking in the Annapurna range with the most stunning sunrise at Poon Hill. The guides and porters were amazing egging us gently up and onward (forever, up and onward) on what proved to be a very very tough circuit. I recommend doing the same circuit in more days so you don’t have to rush and can fully enjoy the views, smells, colours and sheer expanse and beauty of the Himalayas and its villages and people. Apart from the crazy bus ride and breakdowns, and the unexpected itinerary changes, I would not change anything! A special thank you to Amrit and to Kilah (who never left my side as I struggled up those steep steps).
