The low altitude areas during March to May is quite warm, however, the upper altitude areas are very pleasant to trek in. Similarly, the lower altitude areas are pleasant during September to November, however, the upper altitude areas aren't too cold to trek; but, the morning and evening can be quite chilly. October is the busiest month of the year that experiences the maximum number of trekkers. You might not like to do this trek in the monsoon season or the winter season. Though trekking in the winter season is possible, it might be miserable. Not everyone loves trekking in the high season; people often distaste crowd. In that case, you can do the trekking in the favorable season, other than the month of October. Difficulty You aren't required to have any athletic body fitness to do this trek; a body capable enough to hike for some hours in the rugged land surface for some days continuously is sufficient to do this trek successfully. However, do ensure that you do not have any serious physical problem, especially in the ankles and knees. Previous trekking experience in the high altitude areas can be of great benefit to you; your body becomes very much familiar with the atmosphere. Exercising few weeks before the trek can be good; it brings your body in proper shape and size. However, it is not mandatory to have few trekking experiences and exercise. Making all the way to the base camp of Annapurna isn't so tough. Throughout the trek, take plenty of time for acclimatization, rest, and go slowly. Also, you need to be careful to remain hygienic and eat hygienic. Food and Accommodation Throughout the trek, you shall get pancakes, chapatti, toast, eggs, etc. with tea or coffee for breakfast. You can have Dal Bhat, potatoes, chapatti, spaghetti, etc. for lunch. The most pervasive item that you shall find in every menu is Dal Bhat. Dal Bhat is the combination of rice, lentil, and varieties of green vegetables, meat, Papadh, and salad. The most interesting part of having Dal Bhat is that no matter how many times you ask for additional item (despite some item), you shall not be charged extra for such extra item. In Nepal, it is a practice that you can eat Dal Bhat until you feel filled. Checking out the cost of Dal Bhat is also the best way to know how expensive the teahouse particular teahouse is. It is recommend to have Dal Bhat throughout your trek. There are plenty of teahouses established in the route of Annapurna Base Camp Hike at regular interval. It is to be noted that as you gain altitude and ascend higher and higher, the kind of facilities that these teahouses offer you with become limited to most basic ones. Similar is the case with the food item; as you ascend higher and higher, you shall have lesser and lesser varieties of food items. Thus, you have to be mentally prepared and ready to accept and adapt in these conditions. Mountain Hiking & trekking Pvt.
