Essential Tips

Choose the Right Season :

Trek in spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) for clear skies, moderate temperatures, and beautiful landscapes.

Pace Yourself on the Steep Trails :

Some sections, like the climb to Ulleri, are steep—take it slow and steady to conserve energy.

Pack for Varied Weather :

The weather changes quickly—bring a rain jacket, sun hat, and warm layers for the high-altitude nights.

Bring Enough Cash :

ATMs are scarce—carry enough cash for food, accommodation, and personal expenses along the trail.

Respect the Local Culture :

Annapurna is home to Gurung and Magar communities—learn a few Nepali phrases and enjoy their hospitality.
