Think of treks and you cannot help but think of Nepal. The country that is known for its adventurous treks more than anything else has one to offer for everyone! Trekking and mountaineering enthusiasts from the world over have the place marked on their bucket list but maybe for different treks. That’s the beauty of it…
There are several treks here and each one is different from the other in the sense of region, level of difficulty, climatic differences and so on. For the same reason, different trekkers look to do different treks—one that suits their criteria of leisure, fun and adventure combined. The country offers some religious treks too.
Why is it called the best long trek?
The
annapurna circuit trek here is regarded as the best long trek in the world. Long since it covers a considerable distance (160-230 km) and takes about 15 to 20 days and the best since it brings about variety and diversity together. There are different climatic zones, ranging from tropics to the Arctic.
The trek is also a beautiful amalgamation ...
... of Hindu and Tibetan culture since there are several Hindu villages on the trail and there is a region of lower Mustang and Manang Valley that predominantly has Tibetan culture.
Trek Summary
The duration of the Annapurna Trek ranges from 15 to 20 days, starting from Kathmandu and ending there too. Talking of the level of difficulty, it is often regarded between moderate to challenging and involves the adventure of crossing rivers over suspension bridges that are made of steel and wood. The accommodation available includes tea houses and lodges. They provide all the necessary facilities to the trekkers staying over plus freshly cooked meals and all of this for a reasonable price. Some of the groups also choose night camps and tents but these are specifically for those looking for a side trip, far from lodges and tea houses.
Favorable Weather
While most part of the Annapurna Circuit Trek can be trekked all the year round (including the monsoons), the period from October to November is regarded as the best season for hiking in Nepal. This is the time when monsoons have just finished and there is a vibrant freshness around everywhere. This also means that the trekkers can enjoy clear views during the day and beautiful starry sky at night. But if you are planning to trek during this period, plan everything in advance since this the busiest period here at the trek and the teahouses are often completely booked.
Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake
If you have an eye for naturally scenic and serene places, the Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake should definitely be on your trekking list. The trek is often regarded as the most popular among nature lovers in the Annapurna region. Lake Tilicho is the highest lake in the world, located in the Manang district in Nepal; it is also a religiously significant lake for the Hindus. The trek offers some breathtaking views in the form of pristine hills, snow-covered mountains, rugged settlements and the quiet surrounding the lake.
There have been major new developments in the Annapurna Trek recently and better roads and paths are coming up as well. This has also brought a significant change in the complete trekking trail. Now, NATT or New Annapurna Trekking Trail is more popular among the trekkers. For the same reason, mountain biking is also getting popular among trekkers here. Mustang is now regarded as one of the most popular biking destinations that are around the world today!
