Adventure Annapurna trek combines two adventure treks of Annapurna region who seek an adventure hike in Annapurna. Annapurna circuit trek( Thorong la pass) and Nar Phu Trek(Kang la pass) are included in this adventure hike. Most of the hikers do Annapurna circuit trek in their vacations but they miss the chance of exploring the Nar Phu Valley. Nar Phu valley is known as a hidden gem of the mountain view and the culture of the locals. Both treks are adventures so we combined both treks into the one trek route. Firstly you need to finish the Nar Phu Then you arrive at the Ngwal. Ngwal is 3 hours ahead of the Manag. Adventure Annapurna trek begins by doing Nar Phu and ends by doing the Annapurna circuit trek.

Adventure Annapurna trek Nar Phu

The Nar Phu valley trek explores the remote villages Naar and Phu. The village is situated in the northeast of Koto and Chame. The Nar and Phu village is isolated in front of the giant Himalayan region. Trekkers will see the Tibetan people in the local settlements. The local settlements are very unique and cultural with different dialogues. Historically, the villages were captured by the Tibetan refugees a long time ago. Later on, they settled in the Nar and Phu village. Trekkers will see Mt Himlung and many other peaks. Fewer tourists visit the Nar Phu valley. The magnificent landscape and the adventure Kang la pass 5320 meter allows trekkers to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Annapurna Himalayan range. Kang la pass is an adventure hike which reaches to the top of the 5320 meters and the down way is very steep.

Adventure Annapurna trek Annapurna circuit

Annapurna circuit trek or Thorong la pass 5416 Meter is Nepal top trekking trail. Annapurna circuit trek is one of the busiest trekking trails which is very famous among the trekkers. The circuit circles the whole Annapurna range and arrives at Pokhara. The trek to Annapurna circuit is the best opportunity to enjoy the Himalayan scenery and the people of Manag. The diversified landscape of the route is another interesting thing to see. Trekkers have to cross the 5416 Meter by sleeping at the 4800 Meters and need to arrive at Muktinath 3800 Meters. The Thorong la pass is hard and needs a lot of physical efforts for 7-8 hours. Trekkers can see the many peaks like Mt Annapurna II 7940 Meter, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Gangapurna, Khangsar Kang, Chulu East, Chulu west, Yak Kawang, Thorong peak and many more.

    What is the best time for Adventure Annapurna trek

    Adventure Annapurna trek is quite adventurous which means it requires a perfect time to do this adventure trek. Both passes are quite tough if the weather becomes bad. That is the reason we have tried to give some ideas to the trekkers that are the best months to do the Adventure Annapurna Trek.


    Mid September to End of November

    The Mid September to end of November (Autumn season) is Nepal’s best time to do adventure tourism activities. This is the best time to visit Nepal because of the weather. At this time the temperatures around the country are neither hot nor cold. You can enjoy the trekking experience due to the perfect temperatures. Visibility during those months are really good and you can see the mountain scenery almost the whole days. with the less chance of the rainfalls and snowfalls, trekkers prefer this season very much. Nepal gets its maximum tourists during this season. Autumn season is very best to do the Adventure Annapurna Trek.


    March, April and May

    Spring season is another best season for mountaineering tourism in Nepal. The High hills get colourful rhododendron and magnolia flowers. The mountains usually remain clear during this period. Rainfalls and snowfalls happen sometimes. Lower parts of the countryside get very hot temperatures whereas the mountains are very good to explore. Mountaineers do mountaineering in this season. They climb Mount Everest and other high mountains as well. Trekking in spring seasons is very good to do. You will obviously enjoy the trekking in the spring season.

    June, July, August and September

    Summer season is a monsoon in Nepal. Trekking experience may not be as good as the spring and autumn season. Continuous rainfalls may cause landslides and floods which are not safe for tourists. Tourists can visit the city and national park at this time. The short trek can be done but with the rain gear. There is no guarantee that you would get a nice view.


    January and December

    Winter is a cold season in Nepal. Snowfall may happen at any time when you are in the mountains. It is very risky to trek such a high adventure trek. You can do soft adventure but trek like this is quite hard. We do not recommend trekkers to do Adventure Annapurna trek. For the comprehensive information go to Annapurna circuit trek best time
