Useful information

Before you go

Best time to trek

Best Spring Mar – May
Clear mornings, mild days and rhododendron forests in full bloom.
Best Autumn Sep – Nov
Stable weather and the clearest mountain views of the year.
Good Winter Dec – Feb
Quiet trails and crisp views, but cold nights and possible snow near base camp.
Not ideal Monsoon Jun – Aug
Rain, leeches and cloud; ask us before booking these months.

Difficulty & fitness

A moderate trek with 4–7 hours of walking a day and many stone steps. No climbing experience is needed: if you can walk for several hours with a light daypack, you can do it. Walks, stairs and our daily yoga build the stamina you need.

Food, water & teahouses

Nights are in simple, clean mountain teahouses with shared bathrooms. All meals are vegetarian, with dal bhat, soups, porridge and herbal teas. Carry a refillable bottle and purification tablets; bottled water is plastic waste on the trail.

Permits

You need the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and the trekkers’ registration card. Both are included in the price; we arrange them in Kathmandu with your passport copy and photos.

Altitude & safety

We gain height slowly, walk at a gentle pace and use breathing practices daily. Your guide watches for altitude signs: headache, nausea, dizziness or loss of appetite. Tell us early, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Travel insurance that covers trekking to 4,500 m is required.
