Annapurna Circuit trek cost
Annapurna Circuit trek cost is USD 980. The price that i offer is very resonable.If you want less service that mention on my package i can reduce the cost and if your expetion is higher than i offer price will increase.I will give you professional Guide and Porter those price.I can also provide guide service if you dont want to buy fullboard package.
Sure, you can do guide hire in Nepal.
I prefer to do Circuit Trek in 12 days itinerary which considers acclimatization. It’s distance about 160km which is starts from Syange and ends at Jomsom. If we drive Kathmandu to Besi Sahar by driving a local bus it takes around 6-7 hours roughly.
On the way, we will have breakfast and lunch. From Besi Sahar, there will be two option to reach Syange. They are either we have to reserve a Jeep or we have to go by sharing basis.
Syange is beautiful where a beautiful waterfall is located. That’s the main reason we have to stay overnight there.
