Royal Trek

Best time for Annapurna Royal Trek

The Royal Trek is one of the few treks in Nepal that can be done year-round (unlike the famous Mtsinje wa Everest Base Camp ). There are no restrictions on travel in any season in this lower region of Annapurna. 

Royal Trek 

Travelers to Nepal claim that March to May and August to December are the best times for the Royal Trek. Along with unleashing the mountain’s true beauty, Spring and Autumn are also the times when the flora’s colors and fauna’s activities take your heart away. The picturesque foreground of tropical and temperate forests makes a perfect setting. 

Summer, specifically June and July, marks the onset of the monsoon in Nepal. People have yet to acknowledge the beauty of the after-rain view. It’s the time when the animals in the Annapurna Conservation Area are at their most vibrant, and the fresh flush of grass makes everything look green.

Winter, specifically January and February, is marked by heavy snowfall, revealing the most breathtaking views of the mountains. Although it’s a bit cold, Royal Trek in Winter is magical. The mornings are warm enough to stroll around, and the days are cool enough for the hike. That’s perfect. Simply put, MyEverestTrip arranges this Royal Trek throughout the year, and you can travel whenever you wish.  

Annapurna Royal Trek difficulty

Oh, that’s not something you need to worry about. Royal Trek is a short and very easily achievable trek. Even the newbie with no prior trekking experience can make it to the top and back in no time. It’s one of the easiest treks in Nepal to the Himalayas. The Royal Annapurna Trek trek difficulty has been graded “Easy.” Yet, it would help if you were physically and mentally fit to achieve such distance. We have discussed some challenges Royal Trek might encounter on the trek.

Royal Trek camp trek distance and duration

MyEverestTrip neatly Royal trek package is nine days long. However, the actual Annapurna Royal trek duration is only four days long. The trail from Pokhara to Chisapani is about 45 km. Covering this duration in 4 days is no big deal. You will walk for 4 to 5 hours daily and reach the homestay before evening. 

The achifumu trek is challenging due to the distance.

The Royal elevation Syaklung (1730 m) is the highest point during the journey. This is not a very high-altitude trek (like Annapurna Circuit Trek), and altitude sickness is not a big deal here. 

However slim, the risk of altitude sickness while trekking to Nepal cannot be ignored. If the symptoms worsen, you might have to climb to a lower altitude. That’s why travel insurance is needed before booking your Royal Trek package. Also, some other cardio exercise preparation before the trek is beneficial.

Necessary permits and paperwork

Firstly, you will need to have your passport valid for at least 6 months. Upon arrival at the airport, you can apply for a tourist visa for 15, 30, or 90 days. The visa will be issued within a few minutes if you have all the documents. The visa costs are USD 30, 50, and 100, respectively.   

 Next, you need two kinds of permits for the Royal Annapurna Trek. The first is ACAP, an entry card to the Annapurna Conservation Area. This $30 permit (Rs 200 for Mayiko a SAARC) can be issued in Kathmandu/Pokhara or even at the entry point while you are traveling. The money goes for the management of the conversation area itself. The following permit is called a TIMS card and costs $20 for solo trekkers and $10 for group trekkers. The Royal Trek permit is issued by the government and is also applicable to the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
