If trekking Nepal\u2019s Annapurna is on your bucket list, take a long deep breath. It\u2019s big. We\u2019re not talking one peak, but a collection of them \u2013 a massif. The highest peak is 8000-metres-plus, there\u2019s another 13 that nudge past the 7000-metre mark and another 16 over 6,000. Each year, 70,000 people trudge this region making it Nepal\u2019s third most popular tourist destination.<\/p>\n

Why not start at the biggie \u2013 Annapurna I Main, the world\u2019s 10th highest mountain? It\u2019s eight kilometres high plus another 91 metres. A team of French expeditioners were the first to reach the summit \u2013 they did that in 1950, three years before Mt Everest was conquered. It took until 1987 before anyone dared to climb it during winter \u2013 and succeed. Swiss climber Ueli Steck<\/a> left base camp (4,130m above sea level), climbed Annapurna I Main and returned in just 28 hours back in 2013. But, more than a third of climbers who attempt that peak die, according to Wikipedia<\/a>. Altitude sickness is a possibility if you\u2019re heading above 2,500m. Seriously, it can be life-threatening even for the fit. Your risk is higher if you exercise or drink alcohol before you adjust to the altitude. That and the unexploded landmines and other exploding devices across the country mean we don\u2019t recommend trekking solo. Use professional guides and reputable trekking companies instead\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

History and culture<\/h2>\n

Customs and traditions vary across Nepal due to the 100 ethnicities. It\u2019s a secular country and most Nepalese are either Hindus or Buddhists. Nepali is the official language, and English is commonly spoken in government and businesses offices. Typical Nepali fare is lentil soup, boiled rice, curried veggies and pickles. They don\u2019t eat beef. That leads us to the literal Sanskrit translation of Annapurna, \u2018full of food\u2019, but its meaning is more \u2018Goddess of the Harvests\u2019.<\/p>\n

What you need to know about the country<\/h2>\n

Nepal\u2019s decade-long civil conflict ended in 2006 with thousands of people killed or have disappeared. Then, in 2008, it became a republic after 240 years of monarchy. Now, it\u2019s home to more than 28 million people. The conflict made it clear the country\u2019s political, social and economic institutions didn\u2019t celebrate diversity. Since 2006, Maoist parties still hold the majority in government.<\/p>\n

The country is still recovering and rebuilding after the April and May 2015 earthquakes with Australia pledging about $32M in 2017-18. Actually, it\u2019s a good thing you\u2019re looking at trekking in the Annapurna region because those earthquakes caused avalanches and landslides in the Langtang<\/a> Valley and Manaslu trekking<\/a> regions which aren\u2019t quite back to normal yet.<\/p>\n

Nepal is among the world\u2019s poorest countries. A quarter of its residents live under the national poverty line and 23% survive on less than US $1.25 a day, according to Australia\u2019s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade<\/a>. There\u2019s little direct foreign investment and poor infrastructure. That extends to the only international airport, Tribhuvan, which has, wait for it, a single runway for domestic and international flights. During the tourist season, domestic flights are often cancelled so good luck with making your international connection. Airlines which Nepalese regulatory authorities have certified are banned from European airspace. Enough said.<\/p>\n

Be a savvy traveller<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need to exercise a \u201chigh degree of caution\u201d visiting Nepal, says the Australian Government\u2019s Smartraveller website<\/a>, as of 26 June 2017. That site mentioned an increased risk of demonstrations and protests and advised to avoid large public gatherings which can turn violent. However, the timing of that info was a couple of days before the national elections, with the third phase of those elections not due to happen until September 2017. During elections, Nepalese authorities are likely to restrict vehicle movements in the voting provinces. Last time it covered all private vehicles, public transport, taxis, motorcycles and bicycles \u2013 that\u2019s a comprehensive shutdown. If you need to move within or across voting provinces, including travelling to and from airports, check-in with your accommodation or travel providers for updates. Subscribe to Smartraveller updates and register your route here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At short notice, curfews may be enforced \u2013 if that happens just do what local authorities instruct. Other wildcards are impromptu illegal roadblocks even national or local bandhs (strikes) which could go on for some time. That would disrupt access to the airport and you\u2019ll be lucky to find a taxi. (Whenever you do find a taxi, they\u2019ll refuse to use their meter and get mega-grouchy when you complain. Just accept they\u2019re going to rip off tourists). Something else you\u2019ll need to let sink in: you\u2019re three times as likely to be killed in a motor vehicle accident in Nepal than in Australia, says the World Health Organisation. Here\u2019s the Australian Government\u2019s advice<\/a> for road safety and driving overseas.<\/p>\n

So, wherever you go, have a good supply of essentials such as water, food, batteries, cash and medications, warns Smartraveller<\/a>. Get those supplies where you can because you can\u2019t assume they\u2019ll be available where needed. That unreliability and major hic-cups with electricity, water, fuel, gas and kerosene supplies will impact hotels and guesthouses, too. And don\u2019t expect to be able to brag Facebook Live your trek \u2013 mobile phone coverage isn\u2019t reliable although guesthouses do generally offer WiFi.<\/p>\n

CONSIDERING AN ANNAPURNA TREKKING TRIP?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take the stress our of organising an incredible trip and trust Designer Journeys’ network of in-destination Local Designers do the hard work for you!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Design Your Nepal Trip” style=”flat” color=”pink” align=”center” link=”url:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/nepal-tours”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A word about crime<\/h2>\n

As a foreigner in Nepal, you may be a target for assault, theft even sexual assault. This country ain\u2019t the place to make your \u2018reclaim the night\u2019 stand, women. That\u2019s the official advice. Criminals claiming to represent charities will sidle up to you, which you should report to police immediately. Oh, and if anyone asks you carry illegal goods, be sure to report that, too. Keep updated through the English-language Kathmandu Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shake it up a bit<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve mentioned the 2015 earthquakes, but that\u2019s not a one-off as Nepal is a highly active earthquake region. Major quakes will definitely lead to fatalities, widespread damage and significantly impact essential services. Before you get there and once you land, learn how to be safe in earthquakes.<\/p>\n

When to go<\/h2>\n

There are treks for any time of year, says the Nepal Tourism Board<\/a>. Ideal trekking months are March to June and from September to November. Avoid trekking from June to August during monsoon season or you\u2019ll be at risk of major hassles with landslides, which will affect major roads and trek areas. If you have<\/em> to trek during monsoon season, try the Upper Mustang<\/a>, which is in a rain shadow and has only been open to non-Nepalis for about 15 years. You\u2019ll need a special trekking permit and must go with a government-appointed officer starting from Kagbeni. The route can be arduous, but you\u2019ll only reach a height of 3,800m.<\/p>\n

Closer to your trip, you can check The Weather Channel<\/a> for a 10-day forecast for the Annapurna Base Camp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk visas<\/h2>\n

Aussies need a visa to get into Nepal. Beware visa and other entry and exit conditions including currency, customs and quarantine regs might change at short notice. Keep updated through your nearest Embassy or Consulate of Nepal<\/a>. Ensure your passport has at least six months left on it before you set foot in Nepal. By the way, when you land in Kathmandu, keep in mind there are major roadworks underway so expect delays. The works are also kicking up a lot of dust so air quality won\u2019t be fabulous either.<\/p>\n

For US passport holders, this is your government\u2019s site<\/a> for info about Nepal. You\u2019ll need a tourist visa. This page<\/a> tells you about needing an International Driver\u2019s License and<\/em> a Nepalese one to drive there. It\u2019s a bit strange that the US Embassy in Nepal recorded no active travel alerts\/warnings in mid-September 2017, unlike the \u2018high caution\u2019 other governments had issued. If you need the US Embassy in Nepal, here it is.<\/a><\/p>\n

For trekkers based in Canada, check in with this Canadian Government site<\/a> for updates. It details how to get entry \u2013 ensure your passport still has another six months left on it. And yep, the site advises keeping updated on what\u2019s happening with the Nepalese Government as travel advisories can change at the flick of a switch. If you are planning to drive, make sure you\u2019ve secured your International Driving Permit<\/a> and get a local Nepalese one when you arrive. By the way, there\u2019s zero tolerance in Nepal for driving under the influence of alcohol.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a mid-September 2017 travel advisory from the UK Government<\/a> talks about recent monsoonal rains having caused \u201cwidespread flooding, leading to the displacement of people, injuries and deaths\u201d. Another reminder to trek outside that season. The rains have also closed roads and airports as well as local transport links. The best bet is to contact the tourist police or local authorities if you\u2019re heading there anytime soon. Click here<\/a> to subscribe to emails every time that site updates its Nepal travel advice. Yes, you will need a visa if you\u2019re a UK citizen looking to travel to Nepal. Apply here<\/a> for one, or you can get one on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport and sometimes at land borders.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need a permit to trek<\/h2>\n

Special regulations apply to mountaineering expeditions meaning all trek members must have permits. Check with a reputable trekking company in Nepal or Australia or your nearest Embassy or Consulate of Nepal<\/a>. Once you\u2019re in Nepal, you can touch base with the Himalayan Rescue Association on +977 1 444 0292 or +977 1 444 0293 or email hra@mail.com.np<\/a> for info about trail conditions and potential hazards in the northern regions.<\/p>\n

The Nepalese Government has tasked the Trekking Agency Association of Nepal<\/a> (TAAN) and the Nepal Tourism Board (NTB)<\/a> to roll out a system for foreign trekkers, the Trekkers\u2019 Information Management System (TIMS). All trekkers need a valid TIMS cards because it helps them locate you and your kin if there\u2019s an emergency. Get your TIMS from authorized trekking companies, TAAN offices in Kathmandu or Pokhara or the NTB office in Kathmandu. To enter the Annapurna Conservation Area Project, you\u2019ll need to pay between US $2 and $20 per person, too.<\/p>\n

For peace of mind, secure travel insurance<\/a> to cover altitude sickness and overseas medical costs such as evacuation. Eight weeks before you leave, visit your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check and talk about your travels. The World Health Organisation<\/a> lists malaria, Japanese encephalitis and tuberculosis as risks. Nepal has limited medical facilities, particularly outside of Kathmandu (where you\u2019ll need to pay cash upfront). In winter, there\u2019s usually seasonal smog and heavy particulate pollution.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Water or foodborne parasitic and other infectious diseases (typhoid, cholera, hepatitis, leptospirosis and rabies to name a few) are common. Boil your drinking water or drink bottled water. Avoid ice cubes as well as raw and undercooked food. HIV\/AIDS is also about.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

READY TO PLAN YOUR NEPAL TREKKING TRIP?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Besides Annapurna, there are destinations to suit every type of trekker or hiker in Nepal. Whatever you’re looking for, connect with one of our Local Designers who will help your plan your dream trip!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Meet Local Designers in Nepal” style=”flat” color=”pink” align=”center” link=”url:\/\/www.designerjourneys.com\/nepal\/local-designers”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plan your route<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll be able to travel by road to the Annapurna region<\/a> and allot three days to three weeks for your trek (160km to 230km). You\u2019ll wend your way through oak, rhododendron and pine forests and soak in awesome views. Choose your route from these map images<\/a>. Check out the Nepal Tourism Board\u2019s overview<\/a> to see what\u2019s around the Annapurna region or this page<\/a>, for a spiritual element to your visit.<\/p>\n

The original and longest route, the Annapurna Circuit Trek (ACT), goes from Besisahar to Nayapul, which eases you into the altitude and courses through diverse landscapes, climate zones and the climax point of Thorong La Pass (5,416m). Set aside 18 to 21 days for that, or 28 days if you\u2019re doing side trips. You can do the ACT without a guide or porter, but think that one through. Got four minutes? Watch a two-week trek of the Annapurna circuit in this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The other legendary route is the Annapurna Base Camp<\/a> Trek, which you can do in about 12 days. Indulge in this review<\/a> by the Inside Himalayas magazine and watch this vid<\/a> for more magic. Take a jeep to Chame and start there and end in Jomson. Other options include Besisahar to Tatopani or Jomson (15 or 13 days respectively) or Jagat to Tatopani (12 days). Here\u2019s a map<\/a> of a 17-day trek (typically that would be Besisahar to Birenthanti). Jomson<\/a> could be your trekking start \u2013 you\u2019ll go through the gorge carved by the Kali Gandaki River then Muktinath, a Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage site, a sacred place of salvation.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The Annapurna Panorama Trek is super-easy with no risk of altitude sickness. You can start at Nayapul, stop at Ghandruk, cross the Modi River, visit the village of Pothana, then Dhampus, Phedi and one option is to be driven to Pokhara. The trek takes in superb views of the Annapurna I and Annapurna South. Another option is the Annapurna Sanctuary from Phedi back to Pokhara. You won\u2019t even need a sleeping bag, tent or portable stove as it\u2019s also known as the \u2018teahouse trek\u2019.<\/p>\n

What to pack<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need decent hiking boots that have been broken in \u2013 go for high boots if you\u2019re trekking in winter. Pack a pair of sneakers for apr\u00e8s-hike, a quality day pack, a lightweight sleeping bag that\u2019s good to minus 10 degrees C (you could actually rent one in Nepal), warm clothing including a down jacket plus a first aid kit including fabric Band-Aids for your blisters. Also pack trekking socks, something to wash them with such as soap, cargo pants you can unzip into shorts, a fleece top, a couple of long-sleeved polypropylene \/merino wool zip-up skivvy, raincoat, T-shirts, underwear, thongs, head torch with spare batteries, sunglasses, water purification tablets, a walking stick (to save your knees) and a Swiss army knife. Consider investing in an emergency beacon, too. There\u2019s a few on the market including the Spot<\/a> II, a GPS device you can use to send simple messages or the ACR Electronics<\/a> SARLink Personal Locator Beacon. Double-check with the seller that they\u2019ll work in Annapurna.<\/p>\n

Forget about ATMs once you\u2019re out of Pokhara or Kathmandu, so ensure you have enough cash – about US$20 a day will cover your meals and accommodation during your trek.<\/p>\n

After you land<\/h2>\n

You really should hire a guide. Take your time to meet and chat with them about their trekking experience to gauge if you\u2019ll gel with them on your trip. How fit should you be? Get some trekking experience in, even some exposure to high altitude if you can before you go. Some trekkers say the key issue is handling the altitude.<\/p>\n

Heaven is a myth, but Nepal is real. Get into the zone with this short Nepal trekking video<\/a> or this Facebook page<\/a> on the base camp or another public FB group<\/a> with that focus. Now it\u2019s up to you to get into the picture.<\/p>\n
