Climate, and Temperature of Annapurna circuit trekking  in September /October / November:

Climate :

The climate in September, October, and November are best, it’s autumn during this month in Nepal and Annapurna region, we have hundreds of years of experience about good weather in October and November every year. Still, the cold wind will be stay above 5500m above, not properly descending to the hillside from High Mountain, most of the day it will be sunshine days, and almost no rain in any region of Nepal, very few chances to have clouds in mountains, bright, blue and clear crispy mountains view in this fall

, in the beautiful days of this season fascinating Nepali people celebrate major Nepali festival like Dhasaen, Tihar, and Chhat many more, you would have a great chance to involve in Nepali festival, here people are very charming and happy to welcome you as their special guest with warm hospitality. So in this season definitely you will have a great memory of trekking an Annapurna region or any trekking route of Nepal.

Temperature:   

September: Trekking an Annapurna circuit in September is a good choice, and about the temperature it depends where you are,  if you are in mountain area then it will be bit chill in morning and evening but if you are in the lower part of Nepal then September is in  Nepal just cross the monsoon and starting autumn and we can fell still a bit of monsoon temperature

so in September, an Annapurna circuit trek will be 23 to 25 degree during the day and at night 17 to 20 in the begging of the trek and when you reach near Annapurna Mountains then it will be 15 to 17 during the day and at night 12 to 13 Celsius in September.

October:  Trekking an Annapurna circuit in October the temperature is always as good. So in October, the temperature will be bit decries then in September, because the winter is coming after autumn here, begging of the trek during the day it will be 18 to 20 degrees and at night 13 to 15. But when you go higher near the mountain then it will be fell in 12 to 13 during the day and at night 8 to 10 degrees.

November: Trekking to Annapurna circuit in November is the best time of the year, the temperature will colder then October in Nov during the day it will be  12 to 13 in begging of the trek and when you go mountainside it will be 8 to 10 and at night 5 -7 Celsius till the mid-Nov, but if you are still going in let Nov then temperature could be fell more like 3 to 4 during the day and – 2 to 5 during the night above 3500m an Annapurna Circuit trek.

Annapurna circuit trek food and Accommodations in September/October/ November:

Food:

An Annapurna circuit trek you can get verities of food and drinks, in every tea house and homestay you can choose food from the menu card, they gave fixed food and drinks menu, with fix price,  they can cook all types of food like Nepali, chemises, Indian, American continental, but we suggest you please ask them to cook organic Nepali food, like bread items, vegetable, rice, Champa porridge, fruits which they grew up in their won investments in the garden and your money will go directly to them and it will be a big support to them.

we shall also say, in the beginning, part of the trek you can get a fresh vegetable and more fresh food, and when you go in mountain then you can’t get as much like before, because of they can’t grow the fresh vegetable every time in mountain due to the climate and temperature change, and they have to store then food and vegetable for pick season.

 Accommodation: an Annapurna circuit trek you can stay at the local tea house in twine sharing beds in the room most of the nights, someplace you can also get an attached room with toilet and hot shower in the begging of the trek, but less chance in the mountain area, if you book your trip an advance then we can book you good rooms an advance. Generally, you have to book an advance most of the places, especially in high pick season.

Otherwise in high big season sometime you can’t get a room in a nice place. Basically you have to eat in the same tea house restaurant in the mountain, there is no choice to go out for special dinner or drinks accept very few places during the Annapurna circuit trek.

Annapurna circuit trek with a guide or without a guide in September, October, and November:

With Guide: Annapurna circuit trek with a guide is much better and comfortable for you, and if you are looking for your safety and security into the mountains anytime guide will help you anytime. The guide can explain culture, nature, and religions of the region, he can also book your food and accommodation an advance every places before you reach in tea house or lodges. Take a professional guide who can explain all about the region and if encase avalanches or landslides happen they can rescue you anytime, especially when snowing and cover the trail, then the guide can find the trail where to go and how to get another place,

No buddy knows about mountain weather and conditions, it can be a change anytime. Also, hire a guide means you are giving a job for Nepali and make him busy that is your great support for the nation. So we strongly suggest you take a guide and make your trip lifetime memorable without any problems in the mountains.

Without guide:  yes we have seen many individual trekkers go an Annapurna circuit trek without a guide, and during the trek, they have a big problem for arranging accommodation, food, and difficulty in finding the trail where and how to get the next destination, and other big problem for individual trekkers when heavy snowing, landslides, the rock fell from mountains makes them difficult, not safety and security well, and we

have many examples many people lost the trail and got an injury and, missing for whole life an Annapurna circuit trek, and latest in 2014 October in throng la pass-heavy snow and winds kill hundreds of without guide trekkers, those who have a guide they are safe, because of the guide make a good decision and make a plan every day. Guide cam make the trail and walk ahead if snowing and block the route, so without a guide is very difficult to complete the Annapurna circuit trek

 Important Tips for Annapurna Circuit Trek:

1. Carry – 10 to 15-degree warm slapping bag.
2. Pack your bag with warm enough clothes and water and windproof trekking boots.
3. Ask extra blankets at the tea house, which you can use on top of your sleeping bag.

Altitude sickness can get any types of people, no matter you have been before higher than Annapurna circuit trek, normally altitude sickens start after lack of oxygen in your buddy in higher elevation.

High altitude Symptoms:

Vomiting, Headache, Tiredness, Difficult sleeping, Dizziness, Shortness of breath, loss of appetite.

High altitude privation:

• As much as fast go lower elevation at list 4 to 500m.
• Take a Diamox, 250 gm every 6 hours.
• Drink plenty of water
• When you feel symptoms then Tell your friends or guide who are with you.
• Do not stay alone when you start altitude sick, stay with a friend, and be communicating.
• Do not sleep in the day time, because you can’t sleep at night.
• If it’s going worse then evacuate quickly to a big hospital.

At what height people get altitude sickness?

Generally, people feel altitude sickness after 2500m high, and when oxygen is a lack in your buddy then you will feel more, and get headache, vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, shortness of breath are then symptoms of altitude, this mountains sickness can get any types of people,  even if you are reached before higher then you are now.

So we always have to stay careful and walk slowly in the mountain, not push yourself, drink more water, stay warm with cold temperature, always flow your friends or guide who are with you. If you get an altitude sickness then do not go more higher-stop there or acclimatize low altitude with guide or friends,  take high altitude medicine(Diamox), if you feel worse then call the rescue and go to the hospital.

Overview 

Discover the Everest base camp trek in Spring in the Khumbu region of Nepal, also known as the Sagarmatha National Park through our Discover open group expedition between mid-March to early May and late September to early November. EXPED does not operate EBC during Nepal’s monsoon period or in the winter.

Nepal hosts 8 of the World’s highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. Trekking deep into the Himalayan Kingdom, the Khumbu region reveals stunning mountain views and the discovery of Nepal’s famous Sherpa’s. These wonderful friendly mountain people originally migrated in the late 1400’s / early 1500’s from eastern Tibet, by crossing over the Himalayan Mountains and settled in Nepal. They established their culture and lifestyle, which is known worldwide today for its simplicity, hospitality and heartwarming communities.

‘NEPAL’ stands for ‘Never Ending Peace and Love’

You will be met on arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) Kathmandu-Nepal, and transferred to Hotel in Kathmandu for a 2 night stay. An evening welcome meal will be awaiting you. On the third day, early morning, you will be transferred and flown out to Lukla, a guaranteed interesting experience, where the EBC Trek begins. If possible, try and sit on the left side of the airplane as you will see your first view of the Everest region better.

Once landed at Lukla, your porters will be waiting for you. A quick final double check to ensure you has everything and you are on your way. The trek now starts in earnest. On the first day of the trek, most of the trail tends to be downhill but remember, ‘Nepali Flat’ means a lot of little ups and downs that generally gain no overall height in altitude.

The following day is very different and an awesome experience. Most of the day is taken up with repeatedly crossing the valley by magnificent wire bridges, which span the DudhKoshi River. You are now climbing steeply up towards Namche Bazaar, which is the capital of the Khumbu region. Namche will surprise you as it is reasonably large town. You’ll find good internet and Wifi connection here, as well as a great iily coffee and pastry. Take advantage of your acclimatization break here and enjoy your short stay of rest. From here on, the trek gets tougher and the facilities become thinner on the ground.

On leaving Namche, you will drop down before climbing up to reach Tengboche. Here you will find an incredible monastery and more jaw dropping views of AmaDablam, Lohtse and Everest. Trekking onwards, the next pause is Pheriche and then GorakShep. This is your last stop before Everest Base Camp. GorakShep is an isolated village set in a barren looking landscape. However, the bare rock strewn glacial zone has its own awesome natural beauty that only post glacial landscapes can achieve. Behind GorakShep, Kala Patter towers at an altitude of 5,545m, which is your next trek. The views of Everest are stunning and will leave you in awe. It is from GorakShep that you approach Everest Base Camp direct. The terrain you trek is reasonably flat but very rough and rocky on the approach. Once you arrive at EBC, you will rest for a while. Find the 2019 inscribed rock and take those photographs to show off your magnificent achievement.
