How Difficult Is The Annapurna Circuit Trek

How Difficult Is the Annapurna Circuit Trek?

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is the second-most popular trekking route in Nepal, offering an unmatched cultural experience, stunning natural beauty, and exciting adventurous opportunities in the north-central part of the Himalayas. If you are interested in this iconic Himalayan expedition that circles Mt. Annapurna (8,091 meters), the 10th highest peak in the world, you might be wondering about the trek’s difficulty.

Rest assured, the Annapurna Circuit Trek difficulty is just at a ‘moderatelevel, which means that you don’t need any prior high-altitude trekking experience or any kind of technical skills to do this adventure. However, as it is still a Himalayan adventure, so you shouldn’t underestimate the challenges you might have to face during your journey.

Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty Factors

It is kind of difficult to easily assess the overall difficulty level of this beautiful Himalayan expedition, as the people have their own capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. For instance, it may not be that much of a big deal for an athlete to cover a trekking route of 6-7 hours every day on average, meanwhile, the people residing at the higher altitude may have it easy acclimatizing to the rising altitude.

So, let’s break out the major challenging factors of this adventure to assess its true difficulty level.

Altitude Gain

When it comes to the Himalayan expedition and other high-altitude adventures, altitude gain is a major difficulty factor. Although the people born and living in higher regions have a slight advantage here, the people born at average sea level find it hard to adapt to rising altitude after exceeding the elevation point of 2,500 meters.

After crossing the marked thresholds, the human body is at risk of altitude sickness like Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), and severe cases conditions like High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE) and High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE).

In general, you will start your adventure from Bhulbule (923 meters), you will trek on the gradually inclining route and overcome the high elevation points like Pisang (3,240 meters), Manang (3,540 meters), Yak Kharka (4,120 meters), Thourung Phedi (4,560 meters) and the highest elevation point of the adventure Thorung La Pass (5,416 meters).

I had the best adventure with my friends doing the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. When the manager from My Everest Trip picked us up at the airport, we were so excited about Nepal and our trek. We had a few days in Kathmandu before our tour, and Puru was very helpful in ensuring the taxi drivers would not cheat us, showing us good places to eat and shop, and helping with everything we needed. Before the trek, he made sure we had an excellent briefing, and we were amazed to hear he would guide the tour himself and his assistant…

We had a few days in Kathmandu before our tour, and Puru was very helpful in ensuring the taxi drivers would not cheat us, showing us good places to eat and shop, and helping with everything we needed. Before the trek, he made sure we had an excellent briefing, and we were amazed to hear he would guide the tour himself and his assistant guide Ratna.  

The trek was hard work and great fun. All the staff joining in on tour was passionate about their work. Some of the porters did not speak much English, but we communicated the best we could and laughed a lot because one of my friends is a bit of an actor and always tried to act out what she wanted to tell them. Puru was the whole trek present and kind, not only to us but to everybody we met; one day, we walked with a group from another company, and Puru noticed that one of the girls was struggling a bit and without a word, he just took her backpack so she could walk more accessible. 

I do not doubt that the people at My Everest Trip, led by Puru, represent modern Nepal with deep roots in tradition, culture, and humility. They are modest people with excellent knowledge of their country.

After the trek, we had plans to stay a few days on our own in Pokhara to relax and do paragliding. Before Puru returned to Kathmandu, he arranged for a nice hotel and our bus ticket back to Kathmandu, where he would meet us and go for dinner.

We are very thankful for the personal service we received; we could not have wished for anything more, except maybe for more time in Nepal, so I think we need to go back and meet all the good and warm-hearted people again.   

I give you my warmest recommendation.

I highly value the service offered by the staff at My Everest Trip. Friends recommended the agency and the Annapurna Base Camp trek, and I understand why.

Ratna, an experienced guide in the Annapurna region, led the group. This shows in the way he manages everything. Before starting the trek, any concern I might have had was blown away the minute I met the guide and the porters. I saw how well the manager treated them, and they were pleased and just as excited to go as I was. After a few days, I spent the evenings playing cards with the porters, who were great fun.

The days in these beautiful surroundings passed so quickly, and I was unfortunate when I had to say goodbye to all my new friends.

I hope to return to Nepal one day and meet all my new friends again.

I had the privilege of spending four weeks in Nepal in the autumn of 2018. I wanted to do a long trek mixed with relaxation and cultural experiences. After my arrival, I aimed to leave Kathmandu as quickly as possible and start the tour. Puru put up a perfect schedule for me. The day after I arrived in Kathmandu, we took off for Pokhara, and on day 3, my trek started.

The day after I arrived in Kathmandu, we took off for Pokhara, and on day 3, my trek started. This was a perfect option for me as I needed peace of mind, and this trek and the staff that followed me did a fantastic job.

After the trek, I spent a few days in Pokhara, visiting beautiful sights and enjoying life. Then I went by bus to Chitwan, where Puru had booked a room at a lovely resort and arranged for activities like jungle safari and bird watching.

After some quiet days in Chitwan, I was ready to face Kathmandu and spend a few days here visiting all the must-sees and shopping in Thamel.

Puru is an expert in organizing trips and reading his clients’ needs. Customizing this journey down to every little detail, like bus tickets, was just what I needed, and I left Nepal feeling like a new person.
I cannot thank Puru and all his employees enough, and I will return one day.

I understand why this trek is one of the most popular in Nepal and why My Everest is a favored choice among its clients. I enjoyed this trek with the guide Krishna, who did an excellent job. Puru took care of all aspects of the trek well, and I could enjoy every moment of my walk. If I faced an obstacle, Krishna would help me overcome it nicely and politely. This trek has a long daily walk, but in good company with friendly people, it’s not a problem. I would love to do another trek with all my new friends at My…

Best trip in Nepal. Puru is the best guide you could wish for. I went to Nepal alone for a trekking trip and to Anapurna with Puru. I was a little scared about the trip, but when I knew Puru everything relaxed. The best trekking with the best guide. It is recommended!

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends Nepal is an incredible country with many different layers and attractions. It’s no wonder this country that’s tucked away in the mountains attracts so many different kinds of people: hippies in hemp clothing with dreadlocks and ukuleles strapped to their hips, old retirees looking for adventure in their moonlight years, adrenaline junkies looking to challenge their selves and conquer some of the world’s most enticing and deadly peaks. Regardless of what sort of person you are when you arrive here, this place will change you! I’ve heard it being said…
I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends Nepal is an incredible country with many different layers and attractions. It’s no wonder this country that’s tucked away in the mountains attracts so many different kinds of people: hippies in hemp clothing with dreadlocks and ukuleles strapped to their hips, old retirees looking for adventure in their moonlight years, adrenaline junkies looking to challenge their selves and conquer some of the world’s most enticing and deadly peaks. Regardless of what sort of person you are when you arrive here, this place will change you! I’ve heard it being said that you do not go to Nepal for a vacation; you go for an adventure. Any adventurer will tell you that if you’re setting out on an experience that’s going to be physically demanding and where you’ll know it will be pushing you to limits you hadn’t come close to yet, it’s essential to have a plan and understand what you’re getting involved with. That, my dear reader, is where my good friend comes to your rescue. Puru is a guide who I met during my first Nepal trek as we climbed up to Poon Hill and then up to Annapurna Base Camp. He was guiding a middle-aged Chinese woman, and our group of three finished our first day off at their heels, talking about the trek and our hopes for the weather. As the girls, he was very kind and patient with us from the beginning, and I asked him various questions about what we were getting ourselves into. Throughout the next week, our two groups were always around each other. Sometimes we stayed in the same lodges in the same towns; other days, we would catch each other on the trails and stop for water breaks. This was all very friendly and kind; Puru was highly knowledgeable about the mountains and willing to help us with whatever questions we had (while still having the self-confidence to laugh if we were asking stupid,  redundant questions and would tell us so). It wasn’t until the end of our trek that I realized what a fantastic man Puru is, what sets him aside from the several other guides I had already met. When we were all at the top of Annapurna Base Camp, we were caught in a heavy snowstorm with a mean wind. There was a group of us close to 10 people at the top, and we were all outside laughing and screaming into the wind that threatened our descent. I wrote about this situation in one of my previous blogs. Still, essentially Puru had taken me aside and, knowing that I was familiar with copious amounts of snow and being in the mountains, told me that it was up to the two of us to get the rest of the group down safely. The snowstorm had erased the trail we had used the day before, so we would have to create our new path down the mountain through the avalanche zone. Puru fearlessly leads the way through uncharted territory with enough confidence to make the entire group, including myself, feel just as confident as he. One of our group slipped from the edge of our path and began falling, but  Puru instantly jumped from the ledge and caught her from falling too far down the mountain face, me hot on his heels. We weren’t even part of his group, just a crew of tourists he had taken under his wing to ensure that we would enjoy our time and make it through safely. I contacted Puru once we got back to Kathmandu and asked him for advice on planning my hike up to Everest Base Camp. With a great smile and a cup of tea, he welcomed me into his office in the heart of Kathmandu and helped me plan everything I needed for this next adventure of mine. Puru and his team have trekked through all of the areas in Nepal and are apparent experts. He helped me customize my itinerary and helped arrange everything from the flights to what sort of clothing and snacks we should bring. As if that wasn’t enough, after we had booked flights, he could change our flight dates multiple times for us – free of charge. He even arranged for my friend and me to take a helicopter up into the mountains without additional cost – a scarce thing, I’m told! Puru was not just a man looking to expand his business but genuinely wanted to help you have the best time possible in his beautiful country. His company can help arrange any treks you are interested in doing. He is an excellent guide who can take the fittest of the fit and the frailest up these mountains. But most importantly, he is a great human with a kind heart. Over the few weeks that Puru and I came to know each other, I’m honoured to be able to call him a brother. If you ever go to Nepal and are yearning for adventure, look no further than Puru at My Everest Trip for all the help you could ever need. Check out his website for information on how to get a hold of him and what services he provides to his family. https://myeveresttrip.com.

Trekking Distance

Annapurna Circuit Trek is certainly one of the most exhilarating Himlayany adventures that circumnavigates one of the most magnificent and gigantic peaks in the range. But, at the same time, it also means that you will cover a quite lot of distance to explore the surrounding foothills of this massive peak.

In your trekking adventure that lasts from 12- 22 days, you will cover an approximate distance of 160 km to 230 km. So, you will trek for about 6- 7 hours during each day of your trekking adventure. It may not be a big deal for the athletes and people who are physically active, however, it can be physically draining for the people who haven’t trained and prepared enough for this physically demanding Himalayan adventure.

Remote and Isolated Region

Yes, the Annapurna Circuit Trek is the second most popular and mainstream trekking route just behind the trek to the highest base camp in the world, Everest Base Camp Trek. Despite, this trek being an exhilarating and grand adventure, what you need to understand is that it takes place in the remote and isolated part of the Himalayas.

Due to a lack of proper modes of transportation, the high Himalayan region hasn’t seen much technological or infrastructural development. So, if you expect the services and amenities of a star hotel at these teahouses run by the locals, you might be disappointed.

You will be able to enjoy a moderate level of food accommodation and other amenities throughout your trekking adventure. However, due to remoteness, modern facilities like electricity, internet, and other modes of telecommunication facilities are only adequately available in the lower region. The same goes for the health services along the trail, there are only a few facilities at a great distance, and for emergency evacuation, your only reliable option is helicopter rescue.

Acclimatization Days

As there are different types of itinerary packages for the Annapurna circuit Trek which can be completed in a period of 12- 22 days, you might consider going for the shorter variant as they are cheaper. But, if you are familiar with any high-altitude adventure, then you understand the importance of the acclimatization days during your adventure.

The shorter the adventure, the longer hours you have to push yourself in your day-to-day trekking adventure, this not only exerts your body but puts you at risk of different health hazards. But, this way you also won’t be able to truly enjoy the beautiful Himalayan adventure.

With fewer acclimatization days, you also have a higher risk of catching altitude sickness, as you keep pushing for high altitude without letting your body rest properly and adapt to the rising altitude.

Weather Factors

The high Himalayan climatic conditions are not always predictable, it doesn’t take much time for a clear sunny day to be covered by rain or storm clouds. Although the peak seasons like spring and autumn are considered to have the best climatic and stable weather conditions, the climatic conditions can also change all of a sudden.

The odds are even higher during the off seasons like winter and monsoon, it might be hard to find stable climatic conditions amidst the chaotic climatic conditions. The weather of the Annapurna region is coldest during the winter season, the trails at higher altitudes are usually covered in snow and high-altitude freezing winds and blizzards are pretty much regulars in your everyday adventure.

Similarly, the monsoon season is known as the most unfavorable season for the Annapurna Circuit Trek, the continuous heavy rainfall not only complicates your day-to-day adventure but also invites natural calamities like landslides and flooding.

How to Prepare for Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty?

How to Prepare for Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty?

Although the Annapurna Circuit Trek’s difficulty is at a moderate level, it doesn’t mean that its difficulty level is totally invincible. There are several ways to significantly reduce the overall trekking experience to make it a comfortable and more enjoyable experience. You can consider the following factors to reduce the overall Annapurna Circuit Trek difficulty.

Training and Preparation

It is no secret that with the right amount of physical preparation, you will have a more comfortable and enjoyable experience during your Annapurna Circuit Trek. As you will be covering long trekking hours during each day of your adventure it can be pretty harsh on the untrained body.

On top of that, you will be carrying a backpack with significant weight in the rising altitude where even simple walking can be tiresome. So, you will need to schedule a proper training program in a way that your body gets accustomed to draining physical activities. That way you won’t feel like you have put much physical effort during your actual trekking adventure.

It is recommended that you should start your preparation at least 4- 6 weeks prior to your trekking expedition. But, if you are an athlete or you work out regularly, you can adjust the training period according to your needs. In order to determine your training period, you can first assess your physical capabilities and determine the areas you have to improve and set the training programs without putting a lot of strain on your body.

Here are some exercises that you can include in your training program.

Strength and Endurance Training

These exercises help you enhance your physical abilities, as you will use your leg muscles a lot, you can also emphasize your exercises on that.

  • Push up
  • Plank
  • Pull up
  • Deadlift
  • Weightlift
  • Bicep curl
  • Hammer curl
  • Lunge
  • Squat
  • Bench press
  • Dip
  • Cable press
  • Leg raise
  • Side lunge
  • Leg extension
  • Step up

Cardiovascular Exercises

Cardiovascular exercises increase your overall stamina and improve your fitness. These exercises also improve your body’s capabilities to deliver oxygen to your muscles, so if you include these helpful exercises in your training program it will make it easy for you to acclimatize to the rising altitude. Plus, with the stamina at the reserve, you won’t feel that tired and will be able to truly relish this iconic Himalayan expedition.

  • Cycling
  • Jogging
  • Dancing
  • Rowing
  • Power walking
  • Rope jumping
  • Aerobics
  • Cardio
  • Kickboxing
  • Burpee
  • Jumping jack

**Note: If you include practice hikes in your training program on a natural steep landscape, you will have a proper idea of what you can expect during your actual adventure. Furthermore, carrying a backpack or rucksack with significant weight will prepare you to carry your luggage during the Annapurna Circuit Trek. P.S. Wearing your trekking boots will help you check their comfort level, you don’t want to end up with sore and swollen feet after long hours of trekking**

Mental Preparation

Although most trekkers emphasize the physical training during high-altitude trek preparation, the mental preparation shouldn’t be overlooked either. Mental exercises will prepare you for the inconveniences, discomforts, and challenges that you might have to face.

It is natural that when setting out on an adventure, things might not always turn out the way you expect, some might have it hard time coping with the quality, and comfort meanwhile others might struggle to stay motivated or positive. With mental preparation, you will learn to stay calm, composed, and positive throughout the hardship and inconveniences you may have to face during your adventure.

Here are some mental exercises you can include in your training program:

  • Controlled breathing practice
  • Stay focused and determined
  • Practice healthy self-talking
  • Stay positive
  • Surround yourself with positive people
  • Visualize every step of your journey
  • Practice leaving your comfort zone
  • Lower your expectations
  • Identify your fears and work on them
  • Pay attention to your body language

Choose the Best Season

Choose the Best Season

For the most remarkable and enjoyable experience of the Annapurna Circuit Trek, you should do it during the peak seasons like autumn (September- November) and spring (March- May). Not only the climatic challenges of the expedition are reduced by a greater margin, but you will also be able to relish the unique specialties of each of these seasons.

The spring season in the Himalayas is known as the blooming season where every corner of this magnificent region is brimming with life. The dotted rhododendron and wildflowers cover the entire lower trekking route and the lush greenery is abundant and masks the whole surrounding.

If you love wildlife and birdlife exploration then spring is the ideal period to do Annapurna Circuit Trek. The temperature of the Annapurna region is around 16°C to 23°C during the daytime in spring and can drop to -8°C during the night and early morning.

Similarly, the autumn season which is the most popular season for trekking and Himalayan expeditions in Nepal is known for its moderate temperature, dry trekking trails, fresh landscapes, and spectacular views of the Himalayan vistas. Autumn is also known for its cultural prospects and celebrates some of the grandest festivals in the country like Dashain, Tihar, and Chhath.

The temperature of the Annapurna region during autumn averages around 14°C to 19°C during the daytime. You can expect the temperature to be in minus degrees at an altitude above 4,000 meters. If you are trekking during the latter part of the autumn, the higher regions also see occasional light snowfall as the winter closes in, so make sure to pack accordingly.

Stay Hydrated and Eat a Balanced Diet

One of the most crucial factors to keep your physical abilities consistent during the long trekking period is to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet. During a high-altitude adventure, you are recommended to drink at least 3-4 liters of water as you lose significant water levels during long tiring trekking hours. If you drink the recommended limit of water you will have it easy to move your body during long trekking hours and it will also help you to acclimatize properly to the rising altitude.

The same goes for eating a balanced diet, you will have to overcome long trekking hours during each day of your adventure. If you don’t eat a balanced diet, you won’t be able to replenish the lost energy which can result in sickness and you may have to withdraw from your epic quest.

It is common that after gaining a significant altitude, you might show symptoms of loss of appetite. However, instead of skipping meals, you are recommended to force-feed yourself the first few bites, after which your body will slowly start to accept food.

Find the Right Package

When it comes to reducing the overall Annapurna Circuit Trek difficulty level, selecting the right package is a core factor. Instead of going for cheaper packages with short days of trek go for slightly longer packages with enough acclimatization day.

If you go for the shorter packages just because they are cheaper, the quick-paced adventure won’t be that enjoyable and in the worst-case scenario, you might put yourself at risk of altitude sickness and other health hazards as the short quick adventure without enough rest days puts too much strain on your body.

Plus, in the cheap trekking packages you may have to compromise the quality of services and amenities during your adventure.

For the best value experience in your Himalayan expedition, you can choose our 15 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek package. Our exciting trekking package is specially designed to enjoy the ambiance of the magnificent Annapurna region at a slow pace. We will take care of every minor detail from entrance fees, permits to transport, food, and accommodation so you can truly relish this epic quest at the foothills of the Himalayas without worrying about anything.
