The Annapurna Circuit Trek presents a formidable challenge intertwined with breathtaking beauty. Spanning roughly 160–230 kilometers, depending on routes taken, and reaching altitudes over 5,400 meters, it demands physical endurance and mental fortitude. Trekkers navigate diverse terrain, from lush forests to arid high-altitude plateaus, often facing unpredictable weather conditions. The notorious Thorong La Pass, standing at 5,416 meters, poses a significant hurdle, testing climbers with steep ascents and potential altitude sickness. While challenging, the Annapurna Circuit beckons adventurers seeking personal growth and unparalleled natural splendor.
There are specific seasons of the year when the weather is at its best.
– Spring (March to May)
– Autumn (September to November)
During these two seasons, the weather is typically clean and dry. And hiking to high altitudes will get slightly easier, as it won’t be too cold. The spring season depicts the blooming of gorgeous flowers and the creation of fresh flora. Between the beginning of March and last May, the temperature will remain very mild up to 3,500m altitude, on average 12 to 22° during the day and around 8 to 10° in the evening; however, above that, from 3,500m, the temperature varies, and it may snow sometimes.
Autumn in Nepal runs from September to November. It is arguably the best time for the trek. The warm days and good visibility make this time ideal for trekking. The average temperature during the day hovers around 10 to 25 °C. As with springs above 3,500m, the temperature varies, and it may snow.
For the Annapurna Circuit Trek, there are two primary permits required:
Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP): This permit is essential for trekkers to explore the stunning landscapes of Annapurna Region. You can obtain it from the Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu or the Tourism Information Center in Pokhara. You’ll need your passport, two passport-sized photos, and the required fee.
TIMS Card: You can obtain a TIMS card from the Nepal Tourism Board office in Kathmandu or the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) office. There are two types of TIMS cards: the Green TIMS card for independent trekkers and the Blue TIMS card for those trekking with a registered trekking agency. You’ll need your passport, two passport-sized photos, and the appropriate fee to obtain the card.
Cost of permits for the Annapurna Circuit Trek:
– ACAP: NPR 3000
– TIMS Card: USD 20 for individual and USD 10 for group
Yes, you can apply for the Annapurna Circuit Trek permit individually.
Yes, you can absolutely do a solo Annapurna Circuit trek. We recommend doing it in a group of at least two if it’s your first time trekking in Nepal.
Whether you need a guide and porter for the Annapurna Circuit trek depends on your preference and experience. But we recommend that you have a guide for safety and navigation.
The Thorong La Pass, standing at an awe-inspiring altitude of 5,416 meters, poses a formidable challenge for trekkers on the Annapurna Circuit. Its difficulty lies in its combination of high altitude, steep ascent, unpredictable weather, long distance, and heightened risk of altitude sickness. The arduous climb involves navigating rocky terrain and relentless uphill slopes, testing the endurance and resilience of even experienced hikers. Trekkers must contend with rapidly changing weather conditions, including snow, high winds, and extreme cold, particularly during the peak trekking seasons.
Wi-Fi will be available in some lodges, but it may cost $1–$2 per device. It may not function at all times, so don’t count on it. Phone networks are unavailable at higher elevations. It is possible to buy a local SIM card prepaid upon your arrival in Kathmandu, which will require a copy of your passport and a photo of your identity. You will find cyber cafes easily in Kathmandu and Pokhara. NTC, NCELL, UTL, and different ISPs provide the internet facilities in Nepal.
The cost of the trip varies depending on the menu choice. Regarding meals, all lodges serve a variety of lunch and dinner options, including local and some Western dishes. In Nepal, the national dish is the dhalbhat. This dish is composed of white rice, lentils, vegetables, and potatoes. Food is of very good quality, and we recommend you try local foods such as dhalbhat (lentil stew with rice and curried potatoes or meat), boiled potatoes with chili sauce, Sherpa stew (meat, potatoes, and vegetables in a rich sauce), or curry with rice. These are the staple foods for Sherpa people, but every lodge will also offer a wide range of western meals:
Breakfast: eggs (fried or boiled), omelettes, toast, pancakes, Tibetan bread, muesli, porridge, tea, coffee, and chocolate.
Lunch/dinner: soups (tomato, garlic, vegetable, mushrooms, etc.), veg fried rice, dal bhat, curry with rice, noodles (mix fried, veg, egg, w/cheese), macaroni, spring rolls (veg, egg, cheese, mixed), momo (boiled or fried mini pasties with either veg or meat), pizza (all types), fried potatoes (w/veg or cheese), chips, buff steak (water buffalo, occasionally yak), lasagne.
Dessert: apple pie, fruit cocktail, chocolate cake, rice pudding, and snickers pie!
Below is an example of an indicative price. The cost of a meal or a bottle of water can vary depending on the region, particularly as the price increases. Please note that all food and drink products are transported by humans.
Breakfast ~ 5 to 10 USD, Meal ~ 5 to 12 USD, 1 liter of mineral water in lodge 1 to 2 USD, beer 3 to 5 USD/soft drinks 1 to 3 USD), cup of tea, coffee, or hot lemon, etc., 1 to 2 USD.
The average cost of food and drinks per person per day is between $25 and $35.
For your trip, the quality and choice of clothing and equipment contribute to the success of your trek. For treks above 3,000 meters, here is the recommended list of equipment:
First of all, think carefully about what backpack to bring ?. Even though it won’t contain everything you need, it’s still going to be heavy-ish since you’re all carrying yourself. Unless you have chosen to take a carrier
This packing list is just a recommended guideline for your reference. Everything is optional for you to choose from.
– Ruck sack bag with rain cover,
– Sleeping bag (a -15° bag will suffice on most treks),
– Walking sticks,
– Headlamp,
– Trekking boots,
– Trekking shoes with a low ankle,
– A hat to protect you from the sun,
– Hiking shorts, long-sleeved shirts,
– Hiking socks,
– U-V protection sunglasses,
– Heavy down jacket (can be rented in Kathmandu),
– Quick Dry Warm lower or track pants,
– Rainwear (jacket and pants),
– Pair of waterproof, warm gloves and winter gloves,
– First aid kit: carry your medicines in plenty in case you have any specific ailment. Consult your doctor before joining the trek.
Hiring a guide or porter in Nepal can greatly enhance your trekking experience in several ways. Guides offer valuable local knowledge, including insights into the culture, history, and geography of the region, enriching your journey with meaningful cultural exchanges. They provide navigation assistance, ensuring safe passage through challenging terrain and minimizing the risk of getting lost. Porters, on the other hand, alleviate the physical burden of carrying heavy backpacks, allowing trekkers to focus on enjoying the trek and the breathtaking scenery. Additionally, hiring guides and porters supports the local economy by providing employment opportunities for residents of remote mountain communities, contributing to sustainable tourism development in Nepal.
Nepal is a developing country, and road quality can be uncertain and precarious. The routes are heavily damaged during monsoon periods, leading to landslides or rockfalls that cause frequent traffic jams. The Kathmandu valley is particularly affected by the increase in road traffic. As the highway code does not exist and the traffic is difficult, it is strongly recommended not to drive yourself.
– For land travel: Depending on the trip and the size of the group, transfers are made by local bus, minibus, with private vehicles, or by tourist bus, and you will find transport details in the day-by-day program.
– The vehicle is adapted to the size of your group and completely private, that is to say, only intended for you.
– Transfer times may also vary depending on route conditions.
In tourism in Nepal, tips are traditionally expected; the activity being seasonal, the guides, assistant guides, cooks, assistant cooks, and porters only work a few months of the year. The bonuses are very appreciated by the local teams. However, it is important that tipping remains a gratification, and our teams are also very well remunerated. We invite you to only distribute tips if the service meets your expectations. For the entire guide team, assistant guides, and porters, we recommend $30 to $50 per participant per week.

There is no seasonal constraint on traveling in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when winter is at its severest, there are compensating bright sun and brilliant views. As with most of the trekking areas in Nepal, the best times to visit are during the spring and autumn. Spring is the time for rhododendrons to bloom, while the clearest skies are found after the monsoon in October and November. However, Nepal can be visited year-round.
The Himalayas act as a barrier to the cold winds blowing from Central Asia in winter and form the northern boundary for monsoon rains. Some places, like Manang and Mustang, fall in the rain shadow behind the mountains and are mostly dry. Eighty percent of all the rain in Nepal is received during the monsoon (June–September). Winter rains are more pronounced in the western hills. The average annual rainfall is 1,600 mm, but it varies by eco-climatic zones, such as 3,345 mm in Pokhara and below 300 mm in Mustang.
Climbing Alpine Grades:
The overall seriousness of the complete route is based on all factors of the final approach, ascent, and descent—including length, altitude, danger, commitment, and technical difficulty. This system originated with UIAA Roman numerals; it is now generally seen with French letters and is increasingly being used worldwide.
F: Facile/easy. Rock scrambling or easy snow slopes; some glacier travel; often climbed ropeless except on glaciers.
PD: Peu difficile/a little difficult. Some technical climbing and complicated glaciers.
AD: Assez Difficile/fairly hard. Steep climbing or long snow or ice slopes above 50º are for experienced alpine climbers only.
D: Difficile/difficult. Sustained hard rock and/or ice or snow; fairly serious stuff.
TD: Très difficile/very difficult. Long, serious, remote, and highly technical.
ED: Extremement Difficile/extremely difficult. The most serious climbs have the most continuous difficulties. Increasing levels of difficulty are indicated by ED1, ED2, etc.
Our porters are accustomed to the treks at medium and high altitudes and come mainly from the east and north of Nepal. The profession of bearer is seasonal, and then they return home to care for their farm and work in the fields. The young students are also increasingly interested in this profession in order to be able to finance their studies. Your porters are actively involved in the success of your trip; please do not hesitate to enter into contact with them; they will certainly be very happy with these small moments of sharing. It is possible that sometimes the lodges and guesthouses do not have enough space for all; in this case, your porters will be housed in a neighboring house. During the TREK UNDER TENT, they will be hosted by the inhabitant or under a large tent of cuisine all together.
You will be hosted in a guesthouse or lodge in a double room, most often a twin with two separate beds. In a guesthouse or lodge, it is not possible to have a single room except in the off-season. Most are equipped with electricity and a large lounge for the noon meal or dinner in the evening. The shower and toilet are often on the outside. The hot showers are generally paid for. According to the regions, the lodges have different comforts. Certain lodges are very well equipped with hot water, showers, and electricity, but this is not the case for all lodges.
The cost of the trip varies depending on the menu choice. Regarding meals, all lodges serve a variety of lunch and dinner options, including local and some Western dishes. In Nepal, the national dish is the dhalbhat. This dish is composed of white rice, lentils, vegetables, and potatoes.

For your information, the European Commission has included all Nepalese companies on the black list of companies banned from flying within the European Union. To this day, no Nepalese company is flying in Europe.
Note/Lukla Flights are departing and returning to Ramechhap instead of Kathmandu due to ongoing upgrades at Kathmandu Airport. It’s about a 4-hour drive to Ramechhap.
In Nepal, the voltage and frequency are the same as in Europe (230 V, 50 Hz). You can therefore use all your devices without an adapter.
In the mountains, the electricity is often provided by solar panels, so there is no electricity without the sun. To recharge the digital cameras and mobile phones, the service is often surcharged. We advise you to bring with you two batteries.

All credit cards allow the cardholder to withdraw cash. A vast network of ATMs is located at various points in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Patan, Pokhara, and other major cities.
You are free to trek independently. But we advise you to take along a guide or a porter, given the difficult topography and unpredictable weather. Hiring an agency is even better, as it will take care of everything.
