When Should I Book This Adventure?
To embark on the Annapurna Circuit Trek, you may wonder when is the best time to book this adventure.
Ideally, the most suitable time for this trek is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these seasons, the climate is dry, and the clear skies give you a breathtaking view of the mountains and landscapes.
Spring offers vibrant hills and valleys blooming with rhododendrons and other beautiful flowers. It creates an even more captivating view. On the other hand, the autumn season is characterized by a pleasant and refreshing breeze, making it comfortable to trek during the day.
It's worth noting that the winter months (December to February) can be quite cold and snowy. At the same time, the summer months (June to August) can be rainy and humid. Both of these conditions can make trekking challenging and even dangerous. It's thus advisable to avoid these months when planning for the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
How Difficult Is the Journey?
If you're wondering about the level of difficulty of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, we can help you out!
The trek is considered to be a moderate one due to the high altitude and the long distances to be covered. It is feasible for you with proper preparation and a good fitness level.
The trek ascends to the highest point of the trek, the Thorong La Pass, standing tall at 5,416 meters (17,769 feet). It is crucial to take necessary precautions against altitude sickness at this height. Therefore, we prepared the package with ample time for your body to adjust to the changing altitudes.
Moreover, the trail is well-marked, and you'll be accompanied by experienced guides throughout the journey. However, be prepared for some long days of hiking.
