1. TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System):
This Permit is required for every trekker trekking in Nepal.
2. Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP):
As the Annapurna Base Camp Trek requires you to enter into Annapurna Conservation Area, you need to obtain an Annapurna Conservation Area Permit to go to this region.
All the permits for this trek will be arranged by your trekking service provider.
Accommodation :
Teahouses along the trail provide basic yet comfortable rooms, usually with twin beds, blankets, and a shared bathroom. Hot showers and charging facilities are available at most lodges for a small extra fee.
During the Annapurna Circuit Trek, trekkers can enjoy a surprising variety of local and international dishes served in cozy teahouses and lodges along the trail. Meals are freshly prepared, nutritious, and designed to provide the energy needed for long trekking days in the Himalayas.
Typical Meals:
Dal Bhat: The classic Nepali meal of steamed rice, lentil soup, and vegetable curry — healthy, filling, and unlimited in most teahouses.
Momo: Delicious Nepali dumplings stuffed with vegetables or meat, often served with a spicy dipping sauce.
Noodles and Pasta: Stir-fried or soupy noodles, and pasta with vegetables, egg, or meat.
Fried Rice: A popular dish made with rice, seasonal vegetables, eggs, or meat.
Pancakes & Porridge:Â Sweet or savory options, perfect for breakfast, made with wheat or buckwheat flour.
Western Dishes: Items like pizza, omelets, and toast are available in most teahouses, often with a local touch such as yak cheese or homemade jam.
Snacks & Beverages:
You’ll find tea, coffee, hot chocolate, soft drinks, beer, and occasionally local wines. However, prices increase with altitude due to transportation costs. It’s a good idea to bring energy bars, nuts, or chocolate for quick snacks on the trail.
Water:
Boiled or bottled water is available at teahouses, but it’s strongly recommended to carry water purification tablets or a portable filter to ensure safe drinking water throughout the trek.
Note: We humbly request you don’t drink/eat milky and meat items (hot chocolate, milk coffee, and milk tea) because milk is powder and not boiled.
Like the majority of the treks, the Annapurna Circuit Trek offers you accommodation in tea houses with basic facilities. Every Tea house has a menu, and you can make your own choice. But most of the foods are dominated by the Nepali Dal-Bhat and similar meals. Our guide will suggest you select fresh, hygienic, and trek-suitable food.

Essential Gear for the Annapurna Circuit Trek
When preparing for the Annapurna Circuit Trek, having the right gear is crucial for comfort, warmth, and safety in the Himalayas. Here’s a complete combined list of must-have items:
Clothing:

These materials keep you comfortable and dry during long hikes. (Avoid cotton, as it retains moisture.), a fleece jacket, a down jacket, gloves, socks (4pairs), trekking boots, a sleeper, hiking pants, and a waterproof jacket and pants to stay protected from cold and wind.
Headwear:
Keep your head and face protected with a warm hat, sun hat, sunglasses, and a scarf or buff to shield against sun, wind, and dust.
