Annapurna Circuit Trek 12 days

The Annapurna conservation Area embraces the entire Annapurna Himal. From valley floor (below 1000m) to the summit of Annapurna region you can move between the lush subtropics and the austere alpine climbs in a matter of days, witnessing the effect of altitude, topography and climate on life. Trails along the lower valleys usually weave through land that has been cleared for agriculture, dipping occasionally into the remaining shady broadleaf forests. Upstream, you enter the spectacular rhododendron forests, their gnarled pinkish limbs festooned with epiphytic ferns and orchids. In spring witness the blooms, from red to pink to white, depending on altitude. As the trail takes you away from the incessant roar of the river the sounds of bird life, perhaps the yelp of a barking deer, become audible. The dry and open conifer forests, usually blue pine, can be uncannily silent save for the wind whistling through the canopy.

Some popular options include the Annapurna Guest House in Kathmandu and the Yeti Mountain Home in the Everest region.

What is the best time of year to visit Nepal?

The best time to visit Nepal depends on what you want to do. The peak trekking season is from September to November, when the weather is dry and clear. Spring (March to May) is also a good time to visit for trekking, as the flowers are in bloom and the weather is mild. The monsoon season (June to August) can be a challenge for trekking, as the trails can be muddy and the views can be obscured by clouds. Winter (December to February) is a good time to visit if you want to avoid the crowds, but it can be quite cold in the mountains.

What type of food can I expect in Nepal?

Nepali cuisine is a mix of Indian, Tibetan, and Chinese influences. Some popular dishes include momos (dumplings), dal bhat (rice and lentils), and chow mein (stir-fried noodles). Street food is also popular and includes items such as samosas and chaat (a spicy snack made with fried dough and potatoes). For those with a sweet tooth, try the sel roti (a sweet fried doughnut) or the lassi (a yogurt-based drink).

What is the currency used in Nepal?

The currency used in Nepal is the Nepalese rupee. ATMs are widely available in major cities and tourist areas, but it's always a good idea to carry cash in case of power outages or technical issues. Major credit cards are accepted at some hotels and restaurants, but it's a good idea to check in advance.

What should I pack for a trip to Nepal?

What you pack for Nepal will depend on the season and the activities you plan to do. For trekking, you'll need warm clothing, a sturdy pair of hiking boots, and a good quality sleeping bag. For a cultural trip, it's a good idea to pack comfortable, lightweight clothing that covers your shoulders and knees (as a sign of respect). Other items to consider include a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a first aid kit.

Is it safe to travel to Nepal?

Nepal is generally a safe country for travelers, with a low crime rate. However, it's always a good idea to take precautions and avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables. The mountainous terrain can be challenging, so it's important to be prepared and follow safety guidelines when trekking or participating in adventure activities. It's also a good idea to check the latest travel advisories before booking your trip.

What is the culture like in Nepal?

Nepal has a rich and diverse culture, with influences from Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religions. The people are friendly and welcoming to visitors, and it's common to be invited into someone's home for tea or a meal. Nepali society is hierarchical, with a strong emphasis on family and social status. Respect for elders and authority figures is important. It's also important to dress modestly and remove your shoes before entering a temple or home.

What is the transportation system like in Nepal?

Nepal has a limited transportation system, with few highways and only one international airport (in Kathmandu). Local buses and taxis are available in major cities and towns. Jeep and motorcycle rentals are also available for those who want to explore on their own. However, the roads can be challenging, and traffic can be chaotic. Flying is also an option for those who want to avoid the long bus rides between destinations.
