Overview

Just imagine trekking the Annapurna circuit in 8 days Sounds very hard isn't it ? But Roving Nepal Trek will make all of it possible with ease. Although the trek might be quick and hectic it can be done. Annapurna Circuit Trek is one of the most beautiful and toughest treks in the world. Mainly because of the uneven trails and major reduction in several days, this particular trek isn't everyone's cup of tea. 

Why is it 8 days Annapurna Circuit Trek Special?

A lot of the readers might feel the 8-day Annapurna circuit trek isn't a possible thing but it can be done. The most special part about this short trek is enjoying the same beauty by saving time and money. 

In a time less than 10 days, trekkers will be able to view all the beautiful mountains, travel back to Kathmandu, and also interact with the local people. However, it is important to notice that this package is tough and physically demanding. 

How Hard Is 8 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek?

Just to be very clear, the 8-day Annapurna circuit trek is a hard ask. You will have to be fit to complete the trek. Right from the very first day, we will be trekking for at least 6 hours a day. 

Anyone with little to no experience in high-altitude trekking aren't advised to join the trek. Meanwhile, Roving Nepal Trek can train anyone who can be part of this trekking journey. 

People with poor physical health can rather book the Annapurna Circuit trek which goes for 10-12 days. You will have enough time to cope and also acclimatize during that trek. 

Cost of 8 days Annapurna Circuit Trek

A lot of the readers might think that a shorter trek means little cost compared to others. Well, that is true in some aspects but not all. 

For the 8-day Annapurna Circuit Trek, we generally have to be highly prepared in gear and also nutrition. The cost of that font will be higher and can rise gradually. 

However, the less time you spend on the trail the less money will be spent. The accurate cost of the 8-day Annapurna Circuit Trek is hard to predict as it depends on various factors. 

Meanwhile, interested trekkers can get in contact with Roving Nepal Trek and we will guide you through the itinerary, plans, and even the affordable cost rate for the short ABC trek. 

Is Solo Trek for 8-Day Annapurna Circuit Trek Possible?

One of the highly asked questions at Roving Nepal Trek is whether a solo trek to the Annapurna circuit on an 8-day trip is possible or not. Well, it is possible but very risky to execute. 

According to the new rules as well, solo trekking in Nepal isn't allowed. As the trekker only has 8 days, the trekking itinerary must be prepared well. Not only that you also need to have an experienced guide. 

A guide who knows his way around the toughest trek in record time. With so many complications and variables to follow, a solo trek at the Annapurna circuit isn't advised at all. 

Things To Do For A Safe 8 Day Annapurna Circuit Trek 

A lot of the readers think that physical fitness is enough to get you through the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Just to be very clear it isn't. 

Although experience of trekking and physical fitness is the key there are other contributing factors too. 8 days to one of the toughest treks in the world is hard, so you need to be mentally strong too. 

Not only that try and acclimatize well to be safe from Acute Mountain Sickness issues which can make it tougher during the trek. More than that try and remain hydrated. 

A month before the actual 8-day Annapurna Circuit Trek try and have healthy food. Foods that will involve more of the green and less of fried items. This will create a better digestive system for and after the trek.

Permits Required For Annapurna Circuit Trek 

If you are thinking there are some changes with the 8-day Annapurna circuit trek for a permit you are wrong. Trekkers would need to have the same permits they have for a longer trek.

The first one is the Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS) card for the entrant into the home country. The second permit would be the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit.

ACAP permit will allow the trekker to enter the Annapurna Conservation Area and explore flora and fauna. All of these permits can be achieved by the Nepal Tourism Board.
