Annapurna Circuit Trek Difficulty
Annapurna Circuit Trek is normally designated as a moderate difficulty trek. However, since our itinerary also includes a visit to Tilicho Lake, it can be graded as strenuous. The toughest part of the trek is no doubt during the crossing of Thorong La high pass, which is also the highest altitude of the trek at 5,416m. The daily trekking comes down to an average of around 5-6 hours trekking per day.
Special circumstances like trekking during mid-winter or peak monsoon season can also make the trek more difficult than usual. One final thing to consider for the trek is the issue of altitude sickness. As the later parts of the trek are at high altitude, you are prone to acclimatization if you ascend carelessly and too quickly. Hence, we suggest taking one or two days off to help with acclimatization.
Best Season for Annapurna Circuit Trek
Annapurna Circuit Trek, like most treks in Nepal, can be done all year long. However, Spring (March – May) and Autumn (September – November) are recommended as the best times for this trek. The spring and autumn seasons are the peak seasons for trekking and tourism in Nepal. They offer the perfect weather with clear skies and stunning views throughout the trek.
Winter season is also a good choice for Annapurna Circuit Trek, especially if you are looking to enjoy the crisp views of snowcapped peaks. However, crossing the high pass can be tough if the temperature gets too low and there is too much snowfall.
Monsoon trekking is possible, but we don’t generally recommend it. The chance to trek through the quiet and peaceful trails of offseason is certainly appealing, but otherwise, the unpredictable weather and rainfall can lead to a subpar experience.
