The Annapurna Circuit Trekking journey begins in Bhulbhule or Khudi although the classical route starts from Beshishahar. For the first few days, we will trek through the fluent rice paddies, lush jungle and hospitable villages of the Annapurna Conservation Area. The awe-inspiring views of Mt. Manaslu (8187m) and the Annapurna range provide a dramatic backdrop for the preliminary stages of this trek. An alteration day will be spent in the Tibetan village of Manang (3500m), where we will be able to observe Buddhist monks in worship at one of the many magnificent monasteries of this area. A side trip will also be taken to the icy Gangapurna Lake and the awesome Gangapurna Glacier, a photographer's paradise! We continue ascending to the Throng La Pass (5416m), from where we can enjoy spectacular views of Mustang Peak and the snow-covered giant; Dhaulagiri (8167m). Arriving in village of Muktinath, we will be able to see the celebrated Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath Temple with its 108 spring water taps and the mysterious natural gas fires. We descend, following the breathtaking Kali Gandaki River Valley.

Jomsom at an altitude of 2713m is the eventual purpose of this trek where our hiking excursion gets an end. A night rest at this point is more commendable in a sense that the countryside view settle down your all tiredness both mentally and physically. The next day, a 22 minutes scenic flight takes you another picturesque town - Pokhara which undoubtedly offers many things of tourist's alike within a very limited area. Anyone with sound health can join this trek since this trek has been set on the basis of slow hike speed to get full acclimatization with a view to enable our clients to get definitive fun of trekking in this Himalayan paradise.

Acclimatization

Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake and Poon Hill’s itinerary is planned with a high degree of awareness of AMS (Acute Mountain Sickness). Going up at higher altitudes too fast causes a medical condition serious enough to result in death. The higher the altitude, the less oxygen will be in the air. For example, at an altitude above of 5000m, there is 50% less oxygen than at sea level. Therefore, our body needs many days to adapt to an environment with less-oxygen. During this trip, a separate day is set aside in  for acclimatization.

 Sagarmatha Adventure P.ltd . advises guest(s) with known heart, lungs or blood diseases to consult their doctor before traveling. Mild headaches, fever, loss of appetite or stomach disorders are symptoms of AMS. sagarmatha Adventur's itineraries are designed to try to prevent AMS as much as possible. But, it is important to remember that some visitors are more vulnerable than others.
