Annapurna Round trek


Annapurna Round Trek is known as one of the world’s 10 most diverse treks. This trekking route encircles the entire Annapurna mountain range, thus the name Annapurna Round trek. It is also the most popular and the most traveled trekking routes in Nepal. The journey starts from around 700 meters and goes along the Marshyangdi river. Along the way, trekkers can see large rock cliffs, waterfalls, various ethnic groups and their cultures and lifestyles and arrive Manang valley (famous for its unique landform, old Buddhist monasteries, and history). From Manang, there is also an option to go along Tilicho lake on the way.  The path ascends to 5416 m at Thorang La pass before dropping down to a high-altitude plateau that takes you south along the Kali Gandaki river valley. Road construction has been altering the nature of this trek over the years (pushing as far north as Muktinath in the west and Manang in the east), but it still remains a beautiful trek that can be done in many different ways – from a short 9-day itinerary to a month-long journey around the entire Annapurna Range.

Accomodation

Rooms will be booked at Ti-se guest house in Kathmandu, Mountain house in Pokhara and teahouses during the trek. All accommodations are on twin-shared basis. Although single rooms are readily available in Kathmandu and the trekking regions at lower elevation, it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.

 

Meal

During Trek, we can enjoy authentic Nepalese food as well the more common international cuisine (Tibetan, Continental, Italian, Indian, etc.). Breakfast and dinner will be served from the tea-houses or from a lodge menu where we spend the night whereas lunch will be served on the way to the next destination. All meals will be provided during trekking while only breakfast will be available while in Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Best Season

The best time to trek are Autumn (Sept. to Dec.) and Spring (March to May). The treks during Winter and Summer (monsoon) aren’t impossible but just quite challenging. For the best experience, the early and late Spring and Autumn would be preferable due to less tourist traffic.

During the early Spring, the vegetations look fresh with early flowers starting to bloom in several kinds of plants. The villages are full of activity in preparation of family farms for planting the crops. The days are generally sunny due to which they offer good scenery.

The early Autumn is fresh green after a period of warm rainy days from summer monsoon. The month long Nepali festivals of Dasain and Tihar can also coincide and the harvest time also starts in many of the villages.

The early Winter (late Autumn) is also a very good time if one prefers lower elevations in the Himalayas.
