We continue on an undulating path above the river, and at one point, where a tributary flows in

from the opposite bank, the main river becomes covered with huge boulders that hide the water.

Climbing a meandering path to the top of the hill, we will see the level plain of Tal (1700m.).

Beyond Tal, the valley narrows and the path becomes high and winding, and in several areas

hewn from the rock itself. Beyond the small village of Karte (1900m.), there is a bit more cliff-

a huge apple orchard. We continue

through fir and pine forest, climbing

to a high, rocky area as the opposite

bank becomes an impassable cliff.

From this point the valley becomes

extremely steep-sided as we follow

the path to Bratang (2950m.) then a

short climb from the village brings us

to a rock-strewn area where we

cross a wooden bridge and follow a

high, winding path, before crossing

back to the right bank again. We now

ITINERARY CHANGES ON ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREK: The itinerary for the Annapurna Circuit Trek

should be taken as a guideline only. Depending on the prevailing situation, you can modify it to some

extent after consulting with your guide. However, the date of trek completion should always coincide

with the original itinerary. You should keep in mind that this is an adventure trip into some of the most

remote regions on earth, where many unforeseen events may contribute to the need for a change in

itinerary. In such cases, we or your guide will suggest the best alternative similar to your original program.

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT TREK DURATION: We ensure liability as per indicated itinerary and list of services.

If the Annapurna Circuit Trek is cut short or completed earlier than the projected period upon client’s

wish, we shall not be responsible or make refund against unutilized days or services. Clients need to pay

extra for Hotels/services incurred in Kathmandu or elsewhere in such cases.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



HEALTH ISSUES (IMPORTANT FOR YOU): As vaccination requirements change frequently, we suggest you

to consult your doctor at least 2 months prior to the beginning of your Annapurna Circuit Trek. We

recommend protection against malaria, tetanus, typhoid, hepatitis and polio. The main health

consideration in high altitude is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). You may experience some mild

symptoms initially, such as a headache, lethargy, nausea and difficulty sleeping, but these should lessen

within a few days. To avoid Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), people take pills called ‘Diamox’. You can

also use these pills after consulting with your doctor and purchase them in Kathmandu. Our itinerary will

allow your body to acclimatize properly and to handle the low oxygen rate. For your service, out guide

will have ‘Diamox’ and basic medicine as well- We do not take any medical liability since our staffs are not

qualified to prescribe medicines. If you have ever suffered from altitude sickness, or have a heart or

breathing complaint, we highly recommend you consult your doctor about your suitability for traveling to

this area before booking. We suggest that you take some pain-killing pills with you and enough medicine

for cold, diarrhea, nausea and fever. Some nasal ointment and throat-moistening pills will greatly be of

help for those who are sensitive to chilly or freezing weather conditions. Please visit Acute Mountain

sickness page and Health guide for more info about the sickness.

INSURANCE/RESCUE / EVACUATIONS: In case of a serious sickness or a casualty, which we believe will

not happen; we will do everything to transfer you to the nearest hospital. Since you are entirely liable for

all the expenses incurred in evacuation please make sure that it is covered by your insurance before

assigning for it or be prepared to pay on your own after getting back to Kathmandu. Ensure that you’ve

insured yourself before doing the trip. Common sense dictates this. It’s good for you and please visit

Nepal Travel insurance page for more info about it.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL: The Wonderful Environment of the Himalayas is also an extremely fragile one.

Increasing population density and numbers of trekkers threaten the very beauty of Nepal. At Outfitter

Nepal, we are extremely conscious about the environment and aim to minimize our impact as much as

possible. As deforestation is one of the greatest environmental threats we face, we do not encourage

camp fires and use kerosene for cooking as an alternative fuel to wood. We also discourage trekkers from

using wood-fuelled hot showers in lodges along the way. Many lodges, however, now provide solar hot

showers, a far more eco-friendly alternative.

Garbage disposal is another major problem and some of the busier trails can, at times, appear strewn

with litter for miles. Our staff members are well motivated towards eco-friendly practices. We carry out

all our garbage, apart from that which can be safely and easily burnt at the campsite. Our aim is to help

protect and preserve this beautiful environment for future generations of trekkers to enjoy and we

advise the same to you to keep the garbage on proper site and take return those with you to homes

which are Non- biodegradable.



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



TRIP EXTENSIONS: In addition to Annapurna Circuit Trek, we can organize extensions your Trip both
