What people love about touring Annapurna Circuit solo
- Annapurna Circuit Trek 15 Days
been to annapurna for 2 weeks, stunning view, friendly and welcoming people, clear walking trails...memory of lifetime!!!
The scenery covers everything from lush forest and rice paddys (in the lower sections) to arid valleys (around Manang and mustang) and of course, the 5400m Thorung La pass! And all along the way your have this amazing backdrop of the Annapurna range and other Himalayan giants. Plan on at least 2 weeks to enjoy the trek - or more if you want to do some of the side trips available. Lodging is easy to find pretty much year-round although it gets very busy in the peak seasons (April & September). Bring warm gear, a strong pair of legs and a sense of adventure :)
Annapurna Circuit Trek 18 Days
- Annapurna Circuit Trek - 15 Days
I did the 15 Days Annapurna Circuit Trek - Thorong La Pass 5416 meters and yet again I can’t begin to explain the beauty of it all. Massive annapurna peaks surrounding you, quiet and peaceful and very very cold ! But worth it, Basic Tea house accommodation along the way and plenty of opportunities to alter your itinerary to suit your needs. It was my first Himalaya trip to Nepal and I would recommend going a little earlier in the season before the crowds get in, The Month of December very cold but amazing views. Lastly don't forget to bring crampons with you, some part is really icy way.
