Difficulty level
The Annapurna Circuit’s difficulty is mostly determined by your physical condition, outlook on life, and travel route.
More people are beginning to shorten their journey by days as a result of the addition of the dirt roads. It is now possible to hop into a jeep and drive to a location that required days of hiking in the past. Instead of climbing the entire mountain trek, there are frequently choices to take shorter dirt roads and still enjoy breathtaking vistas. Instead of automatically sticking to dirt roads, choose the correct guides, and they’ll make sure you see all the landscape you’re after.
Weather
Temperatures can drop into the deep negatives when you’re high in the mountains of Nepal. especially at night. The inability to sleep or stay warm may result from this. This is why it’s crucial that you have the right equipment with you. In the Himalayas, a knockoff brand sleeping bag won’t do the trick.
If you can, carry a metal water flask as well. When you enter a region with cold temperatures, there is a good probability that the water in your plastic water bottle will freeze because it hasn’t been heated. Bottled water gets more expensive as you go higher, so it would be preferable if you could bring something to cleanse the water. Food falls into the same category. Once the roads run out up the mountain, dinner may cost four times as much as it would have in Kathmandu.
Altitude
No amount of conventional city hiking preparation can truly help you out here in terms of altitude. You probably won’t feel the lack of oxygen until you’ve travelled more than about 2500 metres. This should be taken into account while planning your trek’s days in advance, and you should allow enough time for acclimatisation to take place throughout your trip. Everyone is impacted by it differently. Consider that there is just half as much oxygen at the highest point of the Annapurna Trail (Thorong La Pass, 5416m) as there is at sea level. On this front, knowledgeable, well-trained advisors are essential.
