Annapurna Circuit is a trek within the Annapurna mountain range of central Nepal. Through this region, you can see Annapurna Massif (Annapurna 1-4), Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhre, Tilicho Peak and so on. According to the record, Annapurna Circuit has often been voted as best long distance treks in the world. Nowadays, the road has been constructed and the trail has been shortened. Due to the development in the roads mountain biking has become popular. We can also see the sight change in the villages despite the roads. Mustang in particular is becoming one of the most popular destinations. Basically this trekking usually completes in 15-20 days. Mostly Himalayas cannot be trekked in the wet season; Annapurna circuit sits within a shadow. It is also possible to trek most parts of this circuit all year around, including the monsoon period. New areas near Annapurna have been opened to all trekkers in the past years such as Upper Mustang, Naar-Pho Valley, Manaslu and Tsum valley. Currently, these areas are restricted and subject to extra permits, costs and other limitations. Nowadays, to facilitate the trekkers, Annapurna trek has internet connection. The trekkers can use wireless internet across different districts like in Kaski, Myagdi, Lamjung and Mustang. Currently, cellular 3G is also available in some locations which help you to keep in touch with your family.
