Annapurna Circuit trek along with the visit to the village of Naar and Phu with Kang La is often regarded as the future trekking trail in Annapurna region. With time the roads are being advance from south on both side, its circuit nature will not be same as more trekkers and getting there by buses or jeeps as soon as they can.
Though the people are getting benefited from tourism industry and the tourist are getting basic goods in reduced cost with better access; the place seems to lose its natural tranquilly.
Within a period of time the old trails are being replaced by new. Nowadays, a joint venture of Nepal Tourism Board and TAAN are developing a new trekking trail on the east of Kali Gandaki( in lower Mustang) avoiding the road. Apart from this some other groups are trying to cross over Tilicho rather than Thorung La.
The package too has a side trek to the villages of Nar and Phu crossing Kang La. The area is opened to foreign trekkers only since 2002. From Kota the trail goes uphill through the forests, gorges, narrow canyons and gompas along to the traditional villages. Passing alpine splendor we will trek into glacial valleys including Himlung Base Camp. while returning we will head to the west of Kang La which offers the astonishing view of Annapurna which gives a epic end to this side trip before joining the regular trail below Manang.
While trekking the weather condition cannot be predicted, the Manang valley and villages of Nar and Phu receives much less rainfall than the Pokhara. It does not mean that we are daring to say that we will be trekking under blue skies in monsoon period, as the large portion of Annapurna range receive terrible rainfall, making huge snowy glaciers roll down protecting the valley behind.

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.
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 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.
