FAQs

A: It's definitely a challenge, but you don't need to be an Olympic athlete! The Annapurna Circuit is a classic teahouse trek, meaning you'll hike for a few hours each day with comfortable overnight stays. A good level of fitness is recommended, but we take it slow and steady with plenty of acclimatization time.
