NAMASTE
297km route, of which 72km made by Mountain Bike.
The Annapurna Circuit, along with the Annapurna Sanctuary (Annapurna Base Camp), are two of the most beautiful and popular treks in the world.
In this track, the two come together. And Neither of the two trekking is done in its entirety, but it can be said that they are almost completely completed.
The Annapurna Circuit has one of the highest mountain passes in the world, called "Thorong La" at 5,416 meters of altitude. And at the Annapurna Sanctuary, we will reach the Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) at 4,130 meters.
The proposed trek is done in 14 calendar days (two of its stages in Mountain Bike).
It was carried out in March-April 2018. Without the use of guides or porters.
If you do not have experience in the mountains, orientation with gps or maps, routes of several days with weight, etc ... You may need to consider hiring guides and / or porters in Kathmandu.
Depending on physical condition, ease of acclimatization, weather conditions, etc ... the days for this route may vary. They are intense days!
It is a route of moderate difficulty. Without forgetting that it is a high mountain route. Therefore, experience in such an area, appropriate equipment, and knowledge of the characteristics of the high mountains are required.
This route can be adapted and modified according to the needs and concerns of each person (The circuit can be started later with the use of jeeps to Manang, cut by bus, jeeps etc ... from Ranipawa to Tatopani etc ...).
I recommend planning more days than I propose (fatigue, experiencing symptoms of altitude sickness, weather ...).
.................................................. .................................................. .............................................
I put the material that I had in my backpack and put on the trek ...
-Energy bars.
-Toilet paper.
-Toothbrush and Toothpaste.
-Ibuprofen, paracetamol, antibiotic, bandages, compid, stitches ...
-Potabilizadoras tablets.
-Shampoo and gel (little bottles).
-Kneepads.
-Sunscreen and cocoa lips.
- Garter flip flops.
-Boots.
-3 T-shirts.
-3 Mutes.
-3 pairs of socks (thin - fat).
-Thermal t-shirt.
-Fleece.
-Waterproof and windproof jacket.
-Lightweight Gore pants.
-Snow Gloves.
-Lightweight Gloves.
-Hat and panties.
-Trekking sticks.
-Frontal.
-Reserve batteries.
-Power Bank.
-Debit card, money, documentation and fanny pack.
-Sunglasses.
-Cap.
-1 liter water bottle and 700ml water bottle.
-Mobile with charger.
-Camera, utensils, batteries, and charger.
-Light towel.
-Silver thermal blanket.
-Sack of feathers.
-Down jacket.
-Slim pants and winter pants.
-I bag 50kg with its rain cover.
My opinion a posteriori ...... I would have taken material away from this 11kg bag:
-I would not have carried the bag of feathers from -4º to -10º weighing 1,400kg. Since at the time I went there was not much problem in acquiring blankets in the Guest House. We only used the jacket one night.
-Maybe I would have removed a shirt, a change of clothes, and a sock. Carry the set and the reserve. We were doing laundry in the Guest Houses.
-The power bank, only use it one day. The rest of us had free electricity.
-That the long garter pants would have been convertible to shorts.
* However, these ramblings are referring to my weather, feelings etc ...
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................
GET STARTED ..........
After obtaining the two necessary permits at the Tourism Information Board Office in Kathmandu (morning hours):
- TIMS card.
-Annapurna Conservation Area Project ACAP.
You need: 40 U $ or 4000NPR + 4 passport photos + Medical Insurance Information + Passport Information + Emergency Telephone Number.
* In my opinion, I think it is irresponsible not to carry mountain insurance. You only have to federate in FEDME (Spanish Federation of Mountain Sports and Climbing). License: D - World up to 7000mts. Or in any other insurance that covers mountain activities in Nepal up to the altitude of 5,416 meters.
We decided to start the Annapurna Circuit trek in the Bhulbhule village. The original circuit starts from the Besisahar village, about 7 km further down. Buses leave from Kathmandu to these two towns, from the new bus station around 6:45. I recommend buying the ticket the day before or arriving very early.
1- We arrived in Bhulbhule around 4:30 p.m., the infrastructures and services in Nepal are like this.
We started the trekking, we decided to take advantage of the little that was left in the afternoon to advance, and we stopped to sleep in Bahundanda.
1- Bhulbhule - Bahundanda (Annapurna Circuit) 9.5km + 585m -150m
2- After resting in Bahundanda, we got up early for a long day up the valley. Stopping to rest in Karte.
2- Bahundanda - Karte (Annapurna Circuit) 25.61km + 2,621m -2,074m
3- We started another very hard day from Karte. Of more than 30km and an accumulated unevenness of more than 3000m. We were already beginning to have spectacular views of the landscape. We had a heavy and snowy rain during the afternoon. To finally get to dry on a stove in a Guest House in Dhikur Pokhari.
3- Karte - Dhikur Pokhari (Annapurna Circuit) 31.84km + 3.341m -1.791m
4- It snowed at night, but we woke up to a sunny and totally clear morning. To appreciate the beautiful landscape, and the imposing Annapurna II and III.
There are two possible paths to Bhraga (Upper Pisang and Lower Pisang). I recommend the one picked up on this route, Upper Pisang, its views are much more spectacular. Although they also require more effort.
4- Dhikur Pokhari - Bhraga (Annapurna Circuit) 22.22km + 1,043m -762m
5- From Bhraga, we get up early to start the ascent to Ice Lake. The truth is that we expected more. In October I think the lake is not frozen and you get a better view. However, I think it is fully recommended for a better acclimatization to Thorong La Pass. After descending we continue to Gunsang. Although I think it is advisable to sleep in Bhraga or Manang, to acclimatize in a more positive way and take a break.
5- Bhraga - Icelake - Gunsang (Annapurna Circuit) 18.24km + 1,634m -1,197m
6- We get up and head towards Thorung Phedi. We arrived spurred on by bad weather. We left things and decided to go up and down to the High Camp to acclimatize as much as possible. My partner experienced mild symptoms of altitude sickness. We decided to endure the night and see the next day whether to go down or up. We finally used the down jacket, we decided not to ask for blankets.
* You have to be very aware of the symptoms and consequences that altitude sickness can cause. Don't put your life at risk, the mountain will always be there.
6- Gunsang - High Camp - Thorung Phedi (Annapurna Circuit) 15.7km + 1,180m -567m
7- In the morning we decided to try to go up and see how we were doing. It was a satisfying climb. We had no symptoms greater than a garter headache. A clear day to pass Thorong La and descend to Ranipauwa.
7- Thorung Phedi - Thorong La - Ranipauwa (Annapurna Circuit) 14.32km +939 -1.761m
8- From Ranipauwa you can take buses, jeeps etc ... to Tatopani. We did not contemplate that option. We wanted to close the circuit as much as possible, and in a non-motorized way. Therefore, we rent first thing in the morning, a Mountain Bike. The agency provided you with a backpack to carry essential things and was in charge of moving your bag and picking up your bicycle in Tatopani. We went to Kokethani. The truth was that it was a very hard day. Unless you are very familiar with mountain biking. We found many slopes that we ended up getting off the bike, uncomfortable seats, we had to load the bike in some section, etc ...
8- Ranipauwa - Kokethani (Annapurna Circuit) MOUNTAIN BIKE 44.86km +899 -2.052m
9- The second day on Mountain Bike was much more satisfactory. From Kalopani it is a much steeper and more spectacular descent. We also had to load the bike in some section. My partner, I puncture a wheel, we change camera and we continue. We arrived in Tatopani at 1:00 p.m., when we had arranged to meet with the agency to collect our backpacks and deliver the bikes. They didn't show up until 9pm. We were thinking of moving on to Gorepani, but we already had to wait for the next morning.
9- Kokethani - Tatopani (Annapurna Circuit) MOUNTAIN BIKE 27.27km + 708m -2.000m
10- We go to Gorepani. A rise that is already noticeable in our tired legs.
10- Tatopani - Ghorepani (Annapurna Circuit) 14.93km + 1,681m -177m
11- We get up at dawn, to go up with the orde of tourists to Poon Hill. A spectacular viewpoint that will not leave you indifferent. We began the ascent at 5 am, and at 5:20 am we were practically alone at the viewpoint. So we chose a site knowing what was coming from behind. The sunrise is very worth seeing and spectacular. There are also many nearby points where it would be contemplated in the same way in a calmer way. Once photographed and contemplated the moment, we went down to breakfast, pick up the bag and leave for Chomrong. Therefore, we abandoned the Annapurna Circuit trek, to link with the Annapurna Sanctuary.
11- Ghorepani - Poon Hill - Chomrong (Annapurna Circuit - Annapurna Sanctuary) 19.48km +1,630-2,286m
12- In Chonrong, we decided to leave part of the material, to lighten the bag and go up in a more minimalist way. We were already acclimatized for this second trek, so we were less limited to face the long and intense day. We decided to climb as far as we could, but throughout the day we were observing that it was very feasible to reach the ABC, since although tired, having left weight made the legs respond very well. We caught some rain and cold during the climb.
12- Chomrong - Annapurna Base Camp (Annapurna Sanctuary) 21.5km + 2,747m -856m
13- We get up early at Annapurna Base Camp around 5:30 am. To contemplate the Annapurna, the glacier, the Machhapuchhare, the circus ... The truth is that we were not too lucky ... it was covered by clouds and we could only partially contemplate the scenery. But we could not collect a global vision of everything cleared. We contemplated doing one more night at the ABC, but in the end we decided to descend. If it is the mountain ......
At around 11 am, we went back down to Chomrong.
13- Annapurna Base Camp - Chomrong (Annapurna Sanctuary) 21.05km +875 -2.776m
14- Last day of the trek, we go down to Siwai in the morning. Where we can find Buses and Jeeps to Pokhara.
14- Chomrong - Siwai (Annapurna Sanctuary) 9.8km + 462m -1.289m

Buenas. El lunes voy a nepal con unos amigos y veo que tu ruta es bastante guau. Te quería preguntar si no tendrías por casualidad un mapa de nepal para mi Garmin. Gracias
Yo utilice la aplicación de wikiloc, con su mapa offline de Nepal. Siento no poder ayudarte, pero seguro que puedes conseguir algo por internet.
Saludos

Salutacions Ivan. Molt bona aportació, gràcies. Tinc pensat fer aquest circuit+Annapurna Base Camp des de Principis d' Abril d' aquest any.
Pel que dius hi ha bus directe de Kathmandu a Besisahar o Bulhbuhle. Havia vist una web on en principi es podia reservar un bus de Katmandu a Besisahar (enviant mail), res de Bulhbuhle, el mateix bus va cap allà? o des de Besisahar has d' agafar un altre? Jo volia fer-ho caminant desde de Besisahar a i anar pels nous trams, evitant la major part de la carretera.
He vist que has posat lo de treure els permisos pel matí. A facebook el Nepal tourism Board posa que l' horari és de 10h a 17pm i que els Dissabtes tanquen.
Jo arribo un Diumenge a l' aeroport sobre les 11am i tenia pensat treure els dos permisos TIMS i ACAP el mateix dia per poder agafar el bus al dia següent cap a Besisahar, és factible?
He vist que hi ha tourist online visa https://apply.nepalimmigration.gov.np/online
Faig el circuit en solitari i he vist això https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdFGLV5kjAbhBY-mzUsTFjxX80NXE5ikblK83fI-DkDBQV2NQ/viewform que és un formulari desde la web d' inmigració per formulari TIMS.
He enviat mail amb la consulta a la web d' inmigració i no responen. Al twitter del Nepal Tourism Board també preguntant lo dels horaris dels permisos i cap resposta. Per això et pregunto Ivan. El formulari de visa online i de la TIMS s' ha de fer abans d' arribar?
Moltes gràcies

Hola!.
Desde la nueva estación de buses de Katmandú parten buses a estos dos pueblos. Recomiendo comprar el ticket el día anterior o llegar bien pronto. Creo recordar que es el mismo bus, pero al sacar tu ticket no vas a tener ningún problema.
Cuando yo fui creo que por la tarde estaba cerrado la Tourism Information Board Office, igual cambió... Y yo es donde saque la TIMS y ACAP. Desconocía de la existencia de poder hacerlo en web.
La TIMS yo la hice ya estando allí.
En cuanto al visado, yo lo hice allí directamente al llegar, eso si, una hora...
igual no es mala probar con el visado online - http://www.consuladodenepal.org/nepal_archivos/Peticion_visado.pdf
Siento no poder ayudarte más.

Muchas gracias Ivan_3kn. Pues a ver si me responden del Nepal Tourism Board y me confirman horario, por que en la página de facebook pone de 10am a 17pm y cuando les envías un mensaje a través de messenger facebook aparece un cartel de información de 7am a 14pm y que abren los Domingos. Pero también les envié un twitter hace unos días y no obtuve respuesta, a ver si ahora tengo más suerte XD, por que si realmente no abren por las tardes tengo que contar un día más en Kathmandú.
Gracias por la información en castellano de la Visa Online, como se ha de rellenar con 15 días máximo de antelación probaré ambas cosas más adelante, la visa y el TIMS, que éste último imagino que será también para aligerar trámites o no tener que rellenarlo allí.
Para el tema del bus he encontrado esta web http://tourenepal.com/right/bus-ticketing/, no sé si será un bus específico, que sea más directo o a saber. La reserva se hace via mail y te envian el ticket al alojamiento, pero cuando les pregunto precio final, horario, como se realiza el pago (ya que no me han cobrado nada con antelación) no me han vuelto a contestar y eso hace días, sólo me enviaron un mail diciéndome ok, que me enviarian el ticket directamente al alojamiento pero no me pidieron datos ni nada,sólo saben mi nombre sin los apellidos, raro raro, o quizás allí todo funciona así XD. Preguntaré (si quieren contestarme) si el mismo bus sigue hasta Bhulbhule y quizás tenga que decirles que saldré un día más tarde por el tema de los permisos, pero es probable que no reciba respuesta. Llevo un par de semanas detrás para algo supuestamente tan sencillo XD, he de cambiar la mentalidad.
Muchas gracias de nuevo ivan.

Buenas! El bus que pillamos nosotros es el 'público', que tarda bastante y es muy incómodo. No me acuerdo el precio, pero era muy económico. Esto es como todo, si lo pillas antes...te lo cobrarán bien...pero a veces si que merece la pena! Ya nos contarás tu experiencia!!!
Y disfrutalo, es un trekking expectacular! Nepal engancha...yo este año quiero ir al de Base camp Everest con Gokyo.
Saludos!
Muchas gracias ivan, ya contaré mi experiencia. Esa fue mi primera opción, la del Campo Base del Everest pero pasando por los 3 pasos de montaña a más de 5000m XD, pero ví que quizás era demasiado ambicioso y he preferido empezar por este y depende como acabe o si soy capaz de finalizarlo me plantearé el otro trek :). En mi curro me ha costado pedir el mes de Abril de vacaciones, y los meses de Octubre-Noviembre nunca me los van a conceder (llevo mas de dos años queriendo ir al Nepal). Mírate lo del trek del Campo Base Everest que creo que ya no hay vuelos directos de Katmandu a Luckla y viceversa, creo que hay que desplazarse en bus a otro lugar y de allí coger la avioneta.
Saludos

Gracias...si tendre que ponerme en breves a mirarlo!
