                It's crucial to stay hydrated and get enough rest at these elevations so that your body can acclimate to the higher altitudes naturally. Our guide will be there to support you as usual and make sure you have a comfortable and safe trek. 

                Short Annapurna Circuit Trek 7 Days Accommodation

                When choosing lodging, we put our trekkers' comfort and security first. The tea houses selected for this Annapurna circuit short trek are more luxurious than your average teahouse. 

                Throughout your trek, you will spend six nights in total in tea houses or lodges along your trails. However, please note that accommodation in Pokhara is not included in our costs. If you want accommodations in Pokhara, please apply for our “Add On” option. 

                Although most rooms are designed for twin sharing, our guides will make room arrangements based on gender.

                Please let us know ahead of time if you will be traveling as a couple or if you would like private accommodations within a group, and we will make the appropriate arrangements to meet your needs.

                You will be lodging at teahouses in the trailside communities during your trek. These are rather simple, usually consisting of two wooden bench beds with mattresses each, as well as communal restrooms.

                Short Annapurna Circuit Trek 7 Days Food 

                Throughout your trek, we will provide you with 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches, and 6 dinners. Please note that any extra food and beverages that you have during your trek will not be added to our costs.

                The food during your trek is varied and satisfying, providing the necessary energy for long and challenging hikes. Teahouses and lodges dot the route, offering a range of local and international dishes.

                Traditional Nepalese cuisine, such as dal bhat (rice and lentil soup), momos (steamed dumplings), and thukpa (noodle soup), are staple options that provide a comforting taste of the region. Additionally, you can enjoy hearty breakfasts with eggs, toast, porridge, and pancakes, ensuring a nourishing start to the day. 

                Fresh fruits, vegetables, and locally grown produce are also available, providing a refreshing and healthy option for those craving a lighter meal. You can savor their meals while soaking in the awe-inspiring views of the Annapurna mountain range, creating an unforgettable dining experience on this remarkable trek.

                Short Annapurna Circuit Trek 7 Days Altitude Sickness 

                You risk the danger of developing altitude sickness, sometimes referred to as acute mountain sickness (AMS), if you are traveling to elevations higher than 2,500 meters. 

                Those with a history of altitude sickness, those who exercise or consume alcohol before acclimating to the altitude, and those with respiratory disorders are at increased risk. Before you confirm the trek, we recommend that you consult your doctor for advice relevant to you and your medical circumstances.

                Some symptoms of altitude sickness can be:

                • headache
                • loss of appetite
                • feeling or being sick
                • feeling tired or exhausted
                • dizziness
                • difficulty sleeping

                On this trek, we will be trekking to Thorang La Pass, which has an altitude of 5,416 meters (17,769 ft). So altitude sickness can be a challenge during your trek. Our guides will be there to help you and make sure you have a safe trek.

                If you experience any of these symptoms or other discomforts, please let the guides know. We will either add extra acclimatization days or slow the pace of the trek, depending on your condition.

                Short Annapurna Circuit Trek 7 Days Travel Insurance 

                Travel insurance is essential and required for every visitor to Nepal who plans to trek for safety concerns. Purchasing travel insurance is a simple online process. 

                We are happy to recommend trustworthy, all-inclusive travel insurance, even if we do not offer it. It covers emergency helicopter rescue, medical evacuation expenses, help with personal injury protection tours, charges associated with repatriation, and possible sickness. Kindly get in touch with us if you want any assistance with travel insurance. 

                Aside from providing complete protection against unforeseen circumstances, obtaining high-quality travel insurance can guarantee that you travel with peace of mind. It's similar to having reliable security that lets you enjoy your trek without worrying.

                Following the booking of your trip, we kindly request that you send us a complete set of insurance documents. We'll use your insurance to immediately save you in case of an emergency.
