Annapurna Circuit Trek is a popular and rewarding trek in the Annapurna Region. It offers the variety of scenery of both the northern and southern Himalaya and valley views along the trails.

Annapurna Circuit Trek is known as a fully round trek and the best trek in the world. Experiencing the Himalayas on this trek gives you the opportunity to enjoy and view the large villages of Gurung, Magar, Thakali, and Tamangs. Annapurna Circuit Trek takes about 2 weeks from start to finish, depending on your time frame and interest. The Round Annapurna Trek takes you up to the Marsyangdi River, and then you will cross the fantastic Thorung-La pass (5416 m) and complete the route while descending through the Kali Gandaki River. During the trek, you surround the Annapurna ridge, which includes the highest peaks; among them, some are over 8000 m. You will be following different valleys and canyons and also walking beside rushing streams that pound over white granite rocks and through deep pools. The journey through lush fields and forests, mountains, and the desert-dry Trans will be one of the most unique experiences you will ever have.

Our Annapurna Circuit Trek begins in Kathmandu.We drive to Besishar and then to Syange (760 m, about 10 hrs). Trekking starts from Jagat (1,100 m (3,608 ft)) and passes through different villages. These villages have a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The highest point in this trek is Thorong La, which sits at 5,416 m (17,768 ft). The highlights of this trek include the high trail from Upper Pisang through Ghyaru and Ngawal to Braga (its ancient gompa) with magnificent views of Annapurna II and IV. Manang (3540 m) is a village that caters well to trekkers while offering magnificent views of Gangapurna and Annapurna III. The high pass over the Thorung La (5,416 m) summit offers exceptional views in all directions as well as diversity of landscape and culture.

Best Time for Trekking to Annapurna Circuit Trekking

Spring Season: March, April, and May
The weather is spring-like, the forest is blooming with flowers, and the track is lined with green trees.Springtime starts in March and ends in May. The trekking trail will probably be crowded with a lot of trekkers at this time of the year, but it is the best time to enjoy the beautiful mountain views and landscapes.

Summer Season: June, July, and August
Summer in Nepal is different because it rains a lot and is also known as monsoon season.You just have to be prepared and plan your trek according to the season you are trekking. The hilly regions are moist and wet at this time of the year, so the trekking routes are likely to get muddy and slippery.

Since it rains a lot, there is less crowding when it's not raining, and the trails are pretty slippery. We will get the best view of the green landscape. The weather is quite harsh, as it is sunny during the day and can rain at any time.

Autumn Season: September, October, and November
Autumn is the best time to trek anywhere in Nepal, including the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The weather is warm during the day and quite chilly in the mornings and evenings. In the higher altitudes, the temperature might drop below the freezing point. The best time to trek in Nepal is in the autumn, and the best months are October and November. The trek is busy and crowded, but the view is perfect (white mountains and blue sky) compared to the summer and spring seasons.
