]]>The Numbers
Here are the hard facts about the Annapurna Circuit. It’s between 170 and 230 kilometers long, depending on the route you take. The height of the highest mountain in the Annapurna Massif if 8,091 meters, and the highest point of the trek is 5,416 meters (or 17,769 feet for the Americans out there.)

Although many backpacking trips are done independently, most people hire a guide and/or porter to accompany them on their Annapurna Circuit trek. Not only will this help literally take some weight off of your back, but you’ll also get important guidance like helping you know how to deal with the altitude.
When To Go
Because the different seasons have a huge impact on where you can hike in Nepal, the Annapurna Circuit is best around October to early December and late February to April. We highly suggest going then and not at other times. Braving crowds is better than dangerous weather conditions.
