About Annapurna Circuit Trek

Before 2005, the Annapurna Circuit Trek was one of the most popular walking vacation routes in the Annapurna Region of Nepal. It provided travelers with 21 days of opportunities to engage in different types of trekking and adventure activities in the Himalayas. As a result of the road facilities that connect Kathmandu to Manang through Beshisahar and Pokhara to the holy shrine of Muktinath, the Round Annapurna trek days have been transformed into a more compact but still exhilarating journey through the stunning terrain that is surrounded by attractive mountain views.

The natural flora and fauna, the river, the indigenous communities, and numerous mountain vistas, the diverse culture, the comfort teahouses (lodges), and the delicious meals (fruits and vegetables) are the primary attractions for the trekkers who love to do the Annapurna Circuit Trekking in Nepal.

Annapurna Circuit Trekking Cost

The cost of trekking the Annapurna Circuit is an additional consideration before hiking to Thorong La Pass (5,416 m) on the Annapurna Circuit. The cost of the trip package is also attractive. The primary factor in booking an Annapurna circuit trek is that trekkers research the trek-tour prices from start to finish, determining what is and is not included in the cost of the Kathmandu hotel category, ground and air transportation, lodges and teahouses along the way, food types, permits, trek guides, and many other things.

The cost of our 15-day Annapurna circuit trek is competitively affordable and includes breakfast at a three-star hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara, private vehicle transportation for all domestic and international arrivals and departures, bus transportation to Syange, the starting point of the trek, and daily wages for the experienced trek guide and porter, including insurance. The cost of the hike covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner three times a day. You can choose from a menu that offers hygienic options, including Chinese, Indian, Nepalese, and Continental.

The clean, cozy lodges (tea houses), a trekking route permit known as Annapurna conservation entry fees, a flight from Jomsom to Pokhara to Kathmandu, and an overnight hotel stay in Pokhara—a stunning city in Nepal that encircles the Annapurna Himalayan ranges are all included in the price of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, after completing the Annapurna circuit climb, the majority of hikers like staying there.

How We Can Start Adventure Annapurna Circuit Trek - Route Overview

The Adventure Annapurna Circuit Trek begins with a scenic drive from Kathmandu to Besisahar, the starting point of the trek. From Besisahar, the trail follows the Marshyangdi River, passing through diverse landscapes and charming villages. The trek gradually ascends through terraced fields, rhododendron forests, and rocky terrain, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. Along the way, you'll encounter traditional Gurung and Thakali communities, immersing yourself in their rich culture and hospitality.

As the trek progresses, you'll reach higher altitudes, crossing the famous Thorong La Pass at an elevation of 5,416 meters. This challenging section rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges. Descending from the pass, the trail takes you through the arid landscapes of Mustang, with its unique Tibetan-influenced culture and ancient monasteries. You'll pass through picturesque villages like Kagbeni and Jomsom both villages famous for apples, Long holiday trekkers can finish the trek via Marpaha, Ghasa, and Tatopani, where you can relax in natural hot springs.

Acclimatization day at Manang

During the Adventure Annapurna Circuit Trek, one of the key highlights is the acclimatization day in Manang. After several days of ascending to higher altitudes, it is essential to take a rest day in Manang for acclimatization purposes. Manang is a picturesque village located at an altitude of approximately 3,540 meters. The acclimatization day in Manang allows trekkers to adapt to the increasing altitude and thinning air before ascending further.

On this day, trekkers have the opportunity to explore the village and its surroundings. You can take a leisurely hike to nearby viewpoints or visit the Gangapurna Lake and glacier. The stunning views of the Annapurna mountain range and the serene landscapes of Manang Valley are truly captivating.

Thorong La Pass 5,416m | 17,769ft.

The pass offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding Himalayan peaks, including Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu.

Reaching the top of Thorong La Pass is a moment of accomplishment and celebration for trekkers. It symbolizes the culmination of their efforts and perseverance throughout the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The panoramic views from the pass, surrounded by towering peaks and vast mountain ranges, create a sense of awe and admiration for the natural beauty of the Himalayas.

    Safe Dring Water

    Along the trek, safe drinking water is very important while we are on high altitude journey. We recommend that one should drink at least 3-4 liters of water a day (this helps from de-hydration and altitude problems AMS). As long as possible we recommend you buy sealed packed mineral water and can buy it from every local shop and teahouse. Remember! River, spring, and tap water are free, we will not recommend you directly drink it even water looks very clean, and can't drink without adding water purification pills or a filter then will be suitable to drink.

    You can buy boiled water from every teahouse, boiled water, and sealed packed water cost $1 - 2$ dollars per letter and its cost also depends on where we are from the sea level. So, you need to prepare and pack the extra cost for all the table drinks.

    Experience Required

    The Classic Annapurna Circuit Trek is a moderate trek suitable for passionate walkers who can walk at least 5-7 hours a day with a light day pack. Walking at a high altitude is more physically demanding than walking at lower altitudes; however, if we are in excellent health with average physical fitness and have a positive attitude, self-confidence, and strong determination, we can accomplish this trek.

    Exercising and jogging regularly for some weeks before the trip is a good idea to enhance our strength and stability. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases need to consult their doctor before taking the trip, it is also advised that you inform Nepal Spirit Adventure of any conditions before booking the trek to minimize the risks of altitude sickness.

    Is Acclimatization Day Required for Annapurna Circuit Trek?

    Entire Nepal Spirit Adventure’s treks are planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness), also known as altitude sickness. Going up at a higher altitude too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to kill. We understand that for a safe trek, it is essential to allow sufficient time for acclimatization. Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS. The trek itineraries are designed to prevent AMS as much as possible. But, it is important to remember that some visitors are more vulnerable than others. Your guides and porters will do their every bit to assist you during the entire trek.

    Re-charging batteries (electronic items)

    We can recharge your batteries, and devices with electricity, or solar power sources. In Nepal, 220 240 volts 50 MHZ (50 Cycles per Second) power is supplied, we need to have a plug adaptor in case of socket fitting, which you can buy in Kathmandu before the trip since the plugs in Nepal might be different.

The organization has the best guide and a young, healthy porter. We enjoyed the company and its services, and the owner, Mr. "Ram Magar," was fantastic. His customer service was outstanding, and we plan to return to Nepal to climb Mera Peak or complete the Manaslu circle. Trekked from October 14 to October 25, 2024

    Best Company in Nepal

    I have trekked with Nepal Spirit Adventure 3 times and recommended them to friends who have also trekked with them. I have traveled to 52 countries in various types of travel and Nepal is one of my favorites. Ram and his team at #nepalspiritadventure are the best organizers of any type of holiday/trek you want in Nepal. So far have done Everest Base Camp at 5364m, Kala Patthar at 5644m Annapurna circuit, Lake Tilicho, and Thorong La pass at 5416m. These treks were tough but just need a reasonable level of fitness and a good mindset to complete.

    Just learn to walk slowly, which is the benefit of a private tour. Your pace and enjoy the journey. The next trek I have planned will be Island Peak at 6165m which may be more of a challenge. But I trust them and my usual guide Magar Safe, reliable, honest, trustworthy, fair, and happy company and staff. You can, and I have put my life in their hands and they have always provided a great and safe trip.

    If you are going to Nepal talk with Ram Thapa Magar. He is the best and can make any trek you want. I always go to private small groups but he does big groups if you want. He can organize anything at any level of fitness or finance. The best company in Nepal.

    Annapurna circuit over Thorong La passes

    We all were happy with the service that we received from “Ram” while organizing this adventure with Nepal Spirit Adventure.

    We were 7 trekkers-travels from Australia and was our first trek, at the begging, we were a little nervous when I set out with guide Tul and porters. This company had great experience guides like Tul and friendly porters: Maila, Samdi, Kumar, Shyam, and Deepak all were very strong, guide advice such as listening to your mind and slowly it was a great thing when the place arrive 3400m (Manag Valley) We had the best view along the trek, all the accommodation and foods were delicious while it was inclusive in the trek packages. The flight from Jomsom to Pokhara was short but was amazing mountain views,

    Thorong La pass: The day was quite difficult for all weak up so early in the morning and summit the pass around 10:30 in the morning was great work idea that we started the walk early otherwise could get problems after the sunshine. We all really enjoyed our trek with Nepal Spirit Adventure Team thanks to Ram and his experienced crews, we would highly recommend NSA if you are considering trekking in Nepal. 2023-04=27

    Annapurna circuit over Thorung la

    We all were happy with the service from Nepal Spirit Adventure. It was our first time in Nepal and also the very first time as we were looking for a high-altitude trek, due to the best experience trek guide and porter, we all successfully cross the Thorung la 5,415m.

    We all were a little nervous beginning the first or second-day trek, guide Tul and porters Kiran, Maila, Xotu, and Motu were friendly and strong. Tul is a great guide with many years of experience, team NSA spirit always advises us slowly-slowly it was a good slogan that also made our trip successful, they were always taken care of us every step of the trek. We would highly recommend Nepal Spirit Adventure enough to others their service was terrific. 2023/04/17

    Best itinerary of circuit Annapurna trek

    We have completed our Annapurna Circuit trek with Nepal Spirit Adventure for 11 days in April. Ram (owner) has been an excellent adviser/travel agent to us during our trip. He has good expert-level knowledge of Nepal trekking routes, especially around Annapurna. He has an excellent staff of Guides and porters, which is very important when you are out there with no other help. Its guides especially, Tul and our porter Maila were very helpful during our trek. They took personal care of us. Although English is a second language for most of them, they communicate well

    We do not have any words except thanks Ram you organized our Annapurna trek in good condition with fantastic services, next year we will come back to Nepal for the Everest trek hope you will not mind organizing with the same staff. 13/04/2023

    Best trekking company

    had perfect service from Nepal spirit, this is one of the best trekking companies in Nepal, and we were so lucky that we found Nepal base trek operator, as well as benefit, goes to local people we liked it very much! Bus service was long but interesting, the Annapurna circuit route was naturally beautiful and our trek guide and porters were well experienced, accommodation in Kathmandu was luxurious, and the food was also delicious along the trek we had the best time at Pisang, Manag, and Jomsom, mountain views were gorgeous, the fantastic Himalayas view from through top. Thanks “Ram” we loved your customer service and highly recommend this adventure company to others and we will come back to Nepal for the Everest base camp trek wishes to use the same staffs.
