Annapurna circuit trek for 10 days is a great adventure holiday that you can do in Nepal’s most beautiful Annapurna regions. The classical Annapurna circuit trek used to be 20 days or more longer but now due to accessibility of the road, it can be done even in 10 days. This is very good for the hikers who have a short period of time in Nepal but still want to do the Annapurna circuit trek in 10 days. Annapurna circuit trekking 10 days starts after the drive to Chame. This means you will miss the villages like Nyadi, Bahundanda, Syange, Jagat, Tal, Dharapani, Bagarchap, Danaq, and Timanag plus the diversified landscape of the lower altitude of the Annapurna circuit trek. These days trekkers can reach Chame in 1 day from Kathmandu and the next day they can start their trek. In this beautiful 10 days, Annapurna circuit trekking hikers can see Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, and Tilicho with the height of 7940 Meters, 7,555 Meters, 7,525 Meters, 7,4555 Meters, 7,134 Meters, and many other peaks.
Due to fewer days on the Annapurna circuit, hiking for 10 days is quite challenging due to the less timing. Hikers can enjoy the spectacular scenery of the mountain ranges, glacial lakes, glaciers, yak pastures, mountain terrains and many others. Thorong la pass is the ultimate destination of the 10 days Annapurna circuit. 8-9 hours of tough hikes through the base of throng peaks takes you to the Muktinath of Mustang. Frequent weather change that occurs on the trekking trails may happen on the trek so trekkers need to be careful and well prepared for this. Hotels around the trekking trails are very good and offer delicious food and comfortable beds on trekking so hikers no need not worry.

reviewBody”: “Just returned from the Annapurna Circuit trek with a group of friends, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing! It would not have been possible without our awesome tour guide, Shreeram, and our two strong porters (who happen to look like Korean twins btw), Dev and Surendra.
Personally, I like to engage a local guide when trekking especially in unfamiliar places (this was our group’s first time in Nepal as well as doing such a long trek!), because I’d like to think that the local guides know the ins and outs of the trail better; making sure safety is the utmost priority while not compromising on the view and experience.

One fine day in 2019, a group of 5 of us from the concrete jungle that is Kuala Lumpur got together and decided to take the leap into the unknown – a multi-day trek in the Himalayas. Our chosen route was the well-known Annapurna Circuit, a trail encircling the Annapurna Massif in the Nepal section of the Himalayas.
This being the first time we were undertaking such a trip, we were naturally a little apprehensive and unsure of what to expect. However, we need not have worried at all. The team assigned to the 5 of us comprised of Shreeram (guide and founder of Nepal Trek Hub) as well as Dev and Surendra (charming young brothers who acted as our porters) – and the three of them were the best that we could have dreamed of.

Following the Kali Gandaki River, you will descend down and reach Poon Hill to see the 360 Degree View of the Mt Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Range.
Many of the trekkers hikers say Thorong la pass trek for the Annapurna circuit trek. The reason is the Annapurna circuit trek crosses the one of the High Pass of the Himalayas that is Thorong la pass 5416 Meters. Thorong la pass is named because the trail passes the base of the Thorong peak 6100 Meters. The Thorong peak is just on the right side of the Thorong La pass. Trekkers need more stamina to pass the Thorong la because it is elevated at the 5,416 Meters. Trekkers can either start from Thorong Phedi 4600 meters or Thorong High Camp 4800 Meters. It takes 4-5 hours to reach the top of the Thorong La pass. The trail to Thorong la pass is not that difficult. It goes accent slowly and gently by crossing the multiple zig-zag and this is the most difficult part of the Annapurna circuit hike.
