Besides, as well as Helicopter services for emergency rescue whenever there is a problem. However, trekkers should not worry about the problems. This is the easiest trekking route in the Annapurna region.
Best Season for Annapurna Mini Trek
Autumn( September-November) and Spring (March-May) are the best trekking and mountaineering season in Nepal. Therefore, this would be the best season for this trek too. During the time, the weather is almost clear and the temperature is moderate; therefore, the trekkers get very clear and outstanding views and sceneries without any obstruction. During the spring, you will see beautiful flowers, plants, and rare animals, and walking is easier during the time.
However, Summer ( June-August) and Winter (December- February) are not the off-seasons. Although the season carries out heavy rainfall, it is very much clear to trek around Mustang, Dolpo, and Nar Phu valley since they are in rain shadow areas. Even the Everest, Langtang, and Annapurna region trekking has been chosen by the trekkers who want the pathway without crowd during the time.
Physical Fitness
Since trekking in Annapurna Region is an easy trekking destination and suitable for first-time trekkers. The old aged people and children prefer it, as it does not require experience. However, trekking in the Himalayas always takes us to challenge altitudes and rocky routes certain training like running, jogging, and skipping would be an advantage.
