Trip Note

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING.

Sheltered by the Annapurna Massif, the Annapurna Circuit Trekking. harbors bewitching natural wonders and graceful ethnic communities. Annapurna, literal meaning in Nepali being the giver of food and nourishment, has civilizations that have flourished in its lush hills and the dry rain shadow areas alike. Trekking through this region is a dream for most trekkers, as it combines most things they seek in one package. Iconic peaks such as the Machhapuchhre (6997 M) and Hiunchuli (6441 M), along with the notoriously dangerous and massive Annapurna (8091 M), lie in this region. Dotted around the trails are villages of the charming Gurung, Manangi, and Thakali communities.

ACCOMMODATION ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING.

Nepalis are known to be naturally graceful in nature. It's no different in the Annapurna Circuit Trekking. Teahouses have sprung around the trekking regions, where you go from one teahouse to the next till you complete the trek. Tea houses offer basic accommodation and meals. These lodges are located along the routes and offer basic twin rooms, attached or common bathrooms, a dining room, and the ability to use wifi or take a hot shower at an extra cost. In addition to this, there are options for luxury treks where you can spend time on wonderful lodges and mini-hotels, which provide you with the most luxurious experience if you are ready to pay.

TRANSPORTATION ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING.

You can take a flight, bus, or hire a vehicle to travel to the Annapurna Circuit Trekking. The most famous starting point of any trip in the Annapurna region is Pokhara. There is an established trekking infrastructure, with easy access to start the trek at around an hour's distance from Pokhara. From Pokhara, you have a choice if you want to start your trek right away or travel to the next destination by vehicle. You will find plenty of buses leaving for different places every day at different times. You will need to get tickets to travel by bus in order to get a seat. After you reach the higher altitudes in the region, you find comparatively fewer vehicles.

FOOD & MEALS ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

You may not get the fanciest meals as you head to remote areas, but you sure will get the fascinating taste of food and a variety to choose from even in such places. The most popular meal you can get here is the Dal Bhat set. It includes rice, lentils, vegetables, and even meat in some places. Three Dal Bhat meals a day, and you are ready to go. You will also find various other food items such as soups, momos, noodles, etc. Look out for bakeries; they will have items such as bread and doughnuts.

BACKPACK LIST ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

You have to keep in mind that you must carry only what is needed. Even if you have a porter, there are weight limits in such agreements. Thus, you should only care to take the essentials that will be used on your trip. The ideal backpack would consist of:

Proper clothing: strong, durable warm jackets, sweat-absorbing clothes for trekking, inner layers, undergarments, trousers, and socks.
Gears: hats, beanies, buff/balaclava, gloves, and hiking/trekking shoes.
Accessories: trekking poles, sunglasses, lamps/headlamps, water bottles, first aid kits, medication tablets, toiletries, etc.
Additional items: snacks, electronic gadgets (power bank, kindle, tablets), game cards, etc.

You should have a proper bag that can accommodate all the necessities. If you hire a porter, you can add another bag under the weight limit for your porter to carry.

GUIDES & PORTERS ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

It is completely up to you to hire guides and porters. But it surely is highly recommended that you do so. Not only will the guide help you in the trek by leading you to your destination, but he will also be your Nepali companion for the trek. He will help with dealings to be made in lodges, communicating in Nepalese in the villages, and other necessities during the trek. The number of guides and porters varies depending on the number of guests and the amount of luggage. This may not be fixed precisely in advance due to unpredictable conditions in the mountains.

ELECTRICITY/RECHARGE & INTERNET ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

Wi-Fi is now widely available in most of the teahouses and lodges in the trekking area, albeit the speeds are lower, but as you trek to higher altitudes, the speed may be far slower than what you may be used to. The connection may also be disrupted by weather conditions. The lodges generally sell WiFi cards for Rs. 350 or NRs. 500. As you climb further in altitude, the standard lodges there are very cheap, and one of the factors is they don’t provide electricity for luxuries like charging your electronics. You need to pay hourly up to 2-4 USD for that. It is advised to take a fully charged power bank so you have something to rely on when you climb higher.

GROUP SIZE & CREW MEMBER ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

Your group size can vary according to your preference. However, you have to note that the larger the group, the more porters and guides are required for the smooth operation of the trek. If you are going on camping treks, you will need crew members skilled in navigating along with guides, porters, and cooks. Other than this, the normal teahouse treks warrant reasonable guides, assistant guides, and ample porters. There will not be other difficulties, as the routes are already well established and can accommodate even larger groups. Apart from this, you may travel alone if you wish, but that depends upon the agreement that you are responsible for your own safety.

MEDICAL FACILITY ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

We recommend that you bring some medications that you would normally use for a headache, flu, stomach problems, and other common sicknesses along with you. In addition to this, your trekking guide will also most likely be traveling with a first aid kit. Most guides are also well versed in first aid procedures and basic medical and life aid, which they have garnered through training and experience. There are small medical stations around the villages, which can help with primary treatment. The prominent hospitals are down in Pokhara, which you can get to through helicopter rescues if things go very uncharacteristically awry.

FLIGHT CANCELLATIONS & DELAY (INTERNAL) ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

Traveling by the domestic airlines in Nepal can be a real headache. Due to the unpredictable weather changes, you can face flight delays and even cancellations. This might disrupt your trekking schedule. Thus, it is best to schedule your flight a day ahead so that if in any case your flight is canceled, you can take the next flight and reach in time for your trek. Or, the best next alternative is to travel by road. You can get tickets for public buses or hire private jeeps/vans to travel to your destination. Traveling by bus can be extremely cheaper than traveling by air or hiring vehicles. The alternatives to any unpredictable situations during travel are usually arranged by travel agencies. However, the additional costs of these services have to be paid by you since they are not covered by the agreement between you and the travel agency.

ALTITUDE SICKNESS ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

Altitude sickness can happen to anyone. At high altitudes, you have to maintain a slow and steady pace, giving your body the least amount of work to do. Once you ascend an altitude of 5416 meters, you have to take a step further in being careful. The worst part here is that altitude sickness cannot be cured or removed in an instant. It can lead to other problems such as high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE)! As soon as you see the symptoms (shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, headache, nausea, etc.) of it, it is best to descend right away. Medications such as Diamox can help you to minimize the effects of the altitude sickness. It is better to stay hydrated, get adequate rest, and acclimatize to the location to avoid this sickness.

BEST SEASON TO TRAVEL ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

One of the most important things you must know before going off a trek is the best time to go on the trek. It isn't as easy as going off whenever you want to. The climate and the unpredictable weather during particular seasons can make a big difference in your experience of the trek. It is best to avoid the monsoon and peak winter season for treks in the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The ideal time to trek is considered to be around October to early December and late February to April. There is a lower risk of heavy snowfall and dangerous slippery trails. You'll find the perfect weather, dry trails, and the best possible views.

INSURANCE & RESCUE ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

When you are traveling at altitudes like that of the Annapurna Circuit Trekking, you can face unexpected circumstances at any time during the journey. You must get yourself a good insurance policy that covers such situations. Many travel insurance companies do not have policies that cover high-altitude traveling. Be sure to check your insurance policy. If you get injured or if you need immediate evacuation, you will require a rescue team to come for you. In dire cases, one might require a helicopter rescue or might have to be carried back by a yak or horse. Rescue services such as hiring a helicopter can be really expensive. It is best to have insurance to cover all of these charges. You can find insurance providers who also cover your insurance at high altitudes.

BOOKING & PAYMENTS ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING.

You will not have a hard time finding a travel agency that will arrange for you a decent journey to the Annapurna Circuit Trekking. You can schedule a trek at your choice of destination online or in person. Or you can also place your interest and the travel agency will give you the perfect time to leave for your trek. Terms and agreements applied, you will have to comply with the demands set by the agencies before booking your trip. You will be required to send necessary documents such as passports, and advanced payment for your confirmation. You can be charged a certain amount of money depending upon the agency if you want to cancel a booking.

ACCLIMATIZATION ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREKKING

Acclimatization is a vital aspect of any high-altitude travel. It is a process by which your body develops an increase in the number of red blood cells which increases the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. This lowers your risk of getting altitude sickness. Acclimatization may require several hours up to a day or two. Your body needs time to adjust to the new climate and thus function accordingly. It is recommended that you spend a night or more at every checkpoint you reach so that your body can acclimatize to the climate. You can get enough rest and also enjoy the surroundings while you're at it.
