How Difficult is the Annapurna Circuit trek?
When talking about how hard a trekking route is in Nepal, we can't forget altitude sickness problems. Altitude sickness is a serious issue we cannot ignore when assessing the difficulty of a trekking route in Nepal. Most people can walk comfortably at sea level for a few hours, but it becomes unbearable once you reach 4,000m. The time goes on forever when you are walking at 4,000m (13,123ft) or higher. This route circles the Annapurna mountain range and is the longest in the region. It is harder and takes longer than the Annapurna base camp trek. The reason is that hikers must walk across the 5,416m Thorong La Pass, which is 17,764ft high. The steep ascents, long distances, and lack of amenities make this trek difficult. The winter season is usually closed due to heavy snowfall on the trails. You must be physically fit to walk at least five to seven hours daily. This trek is suitable for beginners as long as they have trained themselves at least three months before. You can train your body for the Himalayas by cycling, swimming, acrobatics, and cardio exercises.
What is food on the Annapurna Circuit route like?
We can have real Nepali food and international cuisines like Tibetian, Continental, Italian, and Indian during our trek. We'll get breakfast and dinner from where we stay, and lunch will be given as we travel to the next stop. We'll have all our meals covered during the hike, but we'll only get breakfast in Kathmandu and Pokhara. There will also be welcome and farewell dinners.
What is accommodation during the trek like?
We will stay in 3-star hotels in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and the teahouses on the trek. All accommodation is on a twin-shared basis. On request, a single supplement is available at an additional cost. Adventure Club Trek can arrange rooms with attached bathrooms, but some teahouses only offer shared toilets and washing facilities. Single rooms are available in Kathmandu and Pokhara and the trekking areas at lower altitudes. However, they may be hard to find at higher altitudes.
