FAQ

What the usual waking hours throughout the trekking day?

Usually, every day you have to hike for about 4 to 7 hours. If you are physically sound or have many walking experiences, then you could do that within a lesser time. Therefore, 4 to 7 hours of the Trek are the trekking tours in the Annapurna Region.

What are the provisions of a Hot Shower during trek days?

Nowadays, almost every resort in the Annapurna region they have hot shower benefits. But a small amount is only needed to be paid for using that help. There is a particular place where you can have a desirable shower sharing with other trekkers, which means you don’t get a hot shower attached to the room. When you are at a higher 4000 m high, you probably don’t need a hot shower for a few days, but you can have a bucket of hot water if required.

What should I carry with me for trekking?

You can’t purchase trekking gear in the mountains, so you should do all your whole packs in Kathmandu or Pokhara. Commonly, you should possess a sleeping bag, down Jacket, trek pants, touch light, sandals, pair of T-shirts, pair of Socks, trekking shoes, hat, sunglasses, sunblock cream, walking sticks, etc.

What types of paths do we get during the Annapurna region trek?

The Lower area of the Annapurna region allows a short trail where there are short ascending and fast descending. Similarly, when we travel over 3000m, the tracks get slightly complex that you have to hike on the rocky path, in the deep gorge, into the alpine zone, suspension bridges, etc. However, if you have few weeks of training before traveling to the Annapurna region, you could easily trek in the Annapurna region.

Will Wi-Fi be available throughout the Annapurna Region hike?

Wi-Fi is usually available for free or a modest fee at most guesthouses. However, because you will be in the high mountains, Wi-Fi may not be available on any given day for various reasons, so don’t rely on it. In any case, going offline for a while might be rather enjoyable!
