If you plan to book a trip to the Annapurna Luxury adventure, you might wonder about its difficulty level. The trek is considered moderate in difficulty.
The difficulty level of any trek depends on two main factors: the hiking route and elevation. Let's take a closer look at both aspects of the hike.
Regarding the hiking route, you'll encounter various uphill and downhill terrains during the Annapurna Luxury Trek. The trek will require walking for about 5-6 hours each day, but with frequent breaks, you can easily cross the relatively steep terrains while enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
Moving on to the elevation, the highest point you'll reach during the trek is 2012m at Ghandruk. However, the trek is designed to allow enough time to acclimate your body to the altitude, minimizing the risk of altitude sickness.
In summary, even beginner hikers can easily complete the Annapurna Luxury Trek.
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the perfect times for the Annapurna Luxury Trek. Although the Annapurna region can be hiked throughout the year, we recommend these seasons for your trek.
The spring season is considered one of the best times for trekking. Similarly, autumn is the topmost season for the trek. These seasons are generally favorable, with moderate temperatures and clear skies.
The monsoon (June to August) and winter (December to February) are not desired for trekking due to heavy rainfall and snowfall, respectively. During these periods, the routes can become slippery and blocked, increasing the risk of injuries and making the trek more challenging.
Therefore, for the best experience, it is strongly recommended that you plan your Best Luxury Annapurna Trek from March to May or September to November.

Read our genuine feedback from past travelers with Nepal Hiking Team sourced from TripAdvisor, Google, Facebook, and Trustpilot.
Couldn't speak highly enough of Ramesh and his team. As first-timers with young kids, we were nervous, but Ramesh and his team did an awesome job of managing all situations to ensure the best outcome for us! Outstanding!
- Guided by Ramesh Adhikari
We had the best time in Nepal. The beautiful views and warm hospitality of the Nepali people are truly unparalleled.
Instrumental to our amazing experience were our guide, Netra, and porter, Vasu.
We were super well taken care of. Netra was quick to assess our physical abilities and was able to effectively set the pace for our hikes. He had very good knowledge of the route and terrain. Importantly, this was our first time attempting a hike at a high altitude, so he took extra care to check on us regularly.
On a personal note, proper gear, including a powerful down jacket for -20 degrees Celsius and a proper hiking backpack, is super essential.
Overall, I would highly recommend the Nepal Hiking Team and Netra/Vasu for your Nepal adventure!
We're three friends from Hong Kong who undertook Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp. Two months before our Nepal adventure, we started looking for a travel agency to sort out all the details so we could enjoy a hassle-free trip. Nepal Hiking Team was incredibly responsive, offering us useful suggestions every step of the way.
We chose them to handle everything from hotel bookings to internal flights and airport pickups. Our guide, Rajesh, was both fun and young, attentive and attentive to our needs. When our flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara was canceled due to weather, Rajesh swiftly arranged a jeep to Pokhara, keeping us right on schedule.
Throughout the trek, he was vigilant about our safety, which gave us great peace of mind. Our porters, Robin and Budda, were always upbeat and industrious, carrying our bags with constant smiles and ensuring our comfort. This trek was our first hiking experience abroad, and it couldn't have been better. The people of Nepal are hot and welcoming.
The views from the mountains were breathtaking, and the sunrise over the snow-capped peaks from Poon Hill was simply stunning.

The most well-known seasons for the trek are spring and autumn season. In Nepal, spring begins in February and goes on until May. This season offers moderate temperatures, lots of sunshine, and the bright blossoms of wildflowers and rhododendrons. Trekkers who need to see the Himalayas at their best should do trek during this time of the year and it is also one of the best times for mountain expeditions in Nepal.
Likewise, those who want to see splendid mountain views should also consider traveling during the autumn season which falls from September and November. This is top trekking season, with low precipitation, clear blue skies, and a clear view of the skyline. Obviously, you can also trek in different seasons.
Nepal's late spring is characterized by the monsoon season, which brings substantial downpours, quick streaming waterways, and lavish greenery. This is an extraordinary season if you prefer not to be on the trail full of trekkers. Winter is likewise a decent choice; despite the fact that the temperatures can be cool, you'll appreciate unimaginable perspectives on the mountains and slopes covered by snow.
Regardless of which season you pick; you will get a life-changing experience on the trek.
