FAQS For Annapurna Circuit Trek-14 Days

What is the level of difficulty for the Annapurna Circuit Trek?

Altitude sickness is an important consideration for any trekking route in Nepal, especially as altitude increases. The Annapurna Circuit route is the longest and considered more challenging than the Annapurna Base Camp Trek due to the high-altitude Thorong La Pass, which reaches 5,416m (17,764ft.). The trek also requires steep climbs and long distances with fewer amenities. The route is closed during the winter season due to heavy snow accumulation. To complete this trek, one must be in good physical shape and able to walk for 5-7 hours each day. Beginners can complete the trek with at least 3 months of physical training that includes cycling, swimming, acrobatics, hiking, jogging, and cardiovascular exercises.

What are the recommended months for doing the Annapurna Circuit Trek?

The Annapurna Circuit Trek can be done all year round, but certain months are considered the best time to embark on this adventure. The pre-monsoon months, which are March through to May, offer the best weather and views of the surrounding mountains. The post-monsoon months from late September until December are also favorable for trekking. Although it is possible to do this trek in February and early September, the months mentioned above are generally considered the most favorable.

What are the different types of accommodations available in the Annapurna region for trekkers?

In the Annapurna region, there are various types of accommodations available for trekkers to choose from. These include guesthouses, hotels, resorts, and teahouses. Guesthouses are available in a wide range of quality, from upmarket to budget options. Hotels and resorts are also available for those looking for more luxurious amenities, although they may be more expensive. Teahouses are the most common accommodation option for hikers in the region, and they are equipped with wooden beds, solar hot showers, western toilet facilities, and blankets. As you hike to higher altitudes in the Annapurna region, the lodging options become more rudimentary. The amenities become limited, with shared bathroom facilities and bucket showers being the norm.
