The Annapurna Circuit Trek is widely recognized as the best long-distance trek in the world. This classic journey completes a grand circle around the Annapurna Mountain Range in Nepal, reaching its climax at the Thorong La Pass. At an altitude of 5,416m (17,769 ft), you will stand on the edge of the Tibetan plateau, surrounded by the highest peaks on Earth.

Sorakhutte, Kathmandu, Nepal

Will somebody come to pick me up at the airport upon my arrival ?

Upon your arrival at the airport, our representative from Himalayan Sanctuary Adventure will be waiting for you outside the airport terminal. You will be warmly welcomed and transferred to your hotel in Kathmandu, where you can relax and prepare for the adventure ahead. Enjoy your overnight stay in Kathmandu, where we’ll go over final details of your trek

Can I obtain a visa for Nepal on arrival at the airport ?

You can easily obtain your tourist visa upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The available options are as follows: 15-day Tourist Visa with Multiple Entries: USD 30 (or equivalent foreign currency) 30-day Tourist Visa with Multiple Entries: USD 50 90-day Tourist Visa with Multiple Entries: USD 125 Please ensure you bring 2 passport-size photos with you for the visa application.

Can I use credit cards in the places I visit in trekking?

Once you leave the cities, cash is the only accepted form of payment. We recommend exchanging your currency to Nepali Rupees before heading to the mountains to ensure you have everything you need during your trek

I am a Vegetarian, is that a Problem?

No problem at all! Most of the lodges serve vegetarian meals, which are generally safer and easier to digest at high altitudes. We highly recommend our clients to stick to vegetarian options to avoid food-related issues, as heavy and non-vegetarian meals can sometimes lead to stomach problems at higher elevations.

Do I need to bring toilet paper for the trek?

Almost all the guest houses sell toilet paper so you can buy it there. Hand sanitizer and a towel you must bring your own.

Where do we go to the toilet along the trail?

In most cases, you can use the toilet provided by the tea houses/lodges on the trail but normally in case of emergency, you just do the toilet along the trail wherever you find privacy.

What sort of accommodation can I expect in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and trekking?

We use standard rooms at 2-star category hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara with breakfast. Along the trekking routes, Teahouses/lodges generally provide basic clean facilities with a mattress and a quilt or blanket. The lodges in trekking routes usually provide single and double rooms, or occasionally a dormitory style. At times when possible, dining will be around a bonfire. In teahouses, food will be prepared in the kitchen, which you should not enter without permission. The toilet in teahouses provides essential and basic facilities and is always outside the room.

What is the drinking water facility in the mountain?

Bottled water is easily available at the lodges and teahouses, which you can buy at the cost of USD 1 at lower elevations up to USD 4 to higher elevations per liter. If you are planning to drink normal water during trek, purifying water with any sort of purification tablets or drops is a must. You can bring your purifier or can purchase it in Kathmandu.

What is the weather & temperature like in trekking?

One of the most unpredictable elements of the mountain is the weather. If you’re not properly prepared for the twists, turns, and volatility of the conditions that can occur in this breathtaking region, you might find yourself in an uncomfortable and unpleasant situation. Spring – March / April / May / June During springtime, the average temperature is 20 degrees C (68 Degrees F), with a maximum of 25 degrees C (77 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of 0 degrees C (32 Degrees F), in the morning and at night for areas above 2500 meters. July / August Through Mid- September is Monsoon Season This season is not recommended to travel as it rains in the lower altitudes. There are positive sides to trekking during the monsoon months as the excess rainfall can provide ample chance to see spectacular views of the waterfall and it’s also the best season to avoid the crowds. During this time, the average temperature is 25 degrees C (77 Degrees F), with a maximum of 30 degrees C (86 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of 5 degrees C (41 Degrees F), in the morning and at night for areas above 2500 meters. Autumn – End of September / October / November The average temperature during the fall is 20 degrees C (68 Degrees F), with a maximum temp of 25 degrees C (77 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of -5 degrees C (23 Degrees F), in the morning and at night, for areas above 2500 meters altitude. Winter- December/ January/ February Winter starts from mid December till mid-February in this region. The average temperature during the winter is 10 degrees C (50 Degrees F), with a maximum temp of 17 degrees C (62.6 Degrees F), during sunny days and a minimum of -10 degrees C (14 Degrees F), in the morning and night, for areas above 2500 meters altitude. The above temperature is based on the outside of the guesthouse temperature. No need to worry about the cold temperature as we provide the sleeping bag plus the extra blanket to make sure our clients are warm enough during their time of need.

Challenging But So Rewarding , Annapurna Circuit Trek!

This was one of the most intense yet rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. The Annapurna Circuit Trek took me through high mountain passes, lush valleys, and traditional villages — each turn revealing more of Nepal’s incredible beauty. The air got thinner at thousand-meter climbs, but the views of snow-capped peaks like Dhaulagiri made every step worth it. Our local guide was incredible — full of stories, skilled in the terrain, and always attentive. Staying in tea houses night after night gave the trek a cozy charm, and morning views were consistently unforgettable. It pushed my limits and filled me with pride. If you’re up for an epic journey in nature, this is it!
