Overview of Annapurna Adventure Trek

Annapurna adventure trek is one of the most beautiful treks that encompass easy walking through the villages inhibited by diverse ethnic groups and dense forest with variety of wildlife and vegetation situated beneath the lap of regal Himalayas.

Showcasing the cultural and topographical variation, Annapurna Adventure trek is the lodge based trek that takes us to the cultivated terraced slopes, picturesque villages and Rhododendron forest. The trek offers the majestic view of Machhapuchhare and Annapurna south which dominates the whole skyline.

We will start the trek with a scenic flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara through the Himalayas. From Pokhara we will trek to Shyauli Bazaar to the scenic gurung settlement of Ghandruk. Later we will trek through astonishing Rhododendron forest to Landruk and then to Dhampus. Throughout the trek we will play hide and seek with the regal vista of Annapurna massif. This trek is an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of city within a short time frame without much of a physical exaggeration.

Additional Information

Trekking Info

Stay Safe

Altitude Sickness: The main and common risk while trekking above about 2500m is Altitude sickness. Altitude sickness is caused by acute exposure to low partial pressure of oxygen at high altitude. The available amount of oxygen to sustain mental and physical alertness decreases with altitude. Available oxygen drops as the air density itself, the number of molecules (of both oxygen and nitrogen) per given volume, drops as altitude increases. So don’t ignore, if you have any symptoms then descending to a lower altitude is the only option.

Water: Have some means to purify water, iodine or a fine ceramic filter are the best options. The streams should be considered polluted and whilst bottled water is often available, the disposal of plastic bottles is a problem.

Electricity in Nepal

Nepal is a developing country, Outside of major cities area electricity on trekking can be scares. You should have to pay 100-800 NRs per hour to charge goods on many lodges and also many tea-house treks, including in Annapurna base camp trek, Everest Base camp trek and many others treks also. Chargers often won't work on low power solar systems you find right up in the mountains so u can buy alternative bayonet light to electricity power plug converter, which will only works in low voltage is highlow. The standard Nepalese electrical outlet is a three-pronged triangle so bring three-pronged triangle chargers.

Nepal Climate information

Nepal is a landlocked country which lies in Hindu Kush Himalayan region. Nepal has monsoonal climate having four main seasons: spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter.

Below is a general guide to conditions at different seasons:

January to March (winter): In this season temperature will decrease at often 0°C (32°F) at night, with extreme cold at high elevations. It is possible to trek in places like the Everest region during the winter but due to extreme cold weather and heavy snow fall it may be quite difficult than as usual.
April to June (summer): In these months it is quite warm and dry weather. There is an abundance of blooming flowers in the Himalayas at this time, with rhododendrons, in particular, adding a splash of color to the landscape. This season is the best time to undertake mountain expeditions.
June to September (Monsoon): There will be heavy monsoonal rainfall in this season. Rains are generally lighter in high Himalayan reasons. In this season the mountain ranges are not often visible due to the clouds.
October to December (autumn): These months are cool and clear which is due to the end of monsoon, there is little dust in the air so this is the best season to visit the hilly and mountainous regions.
