3 days (72 hours).
Suitable for hikers in moderate fitness able to walk 4–6 hours per day on uneven trails; stair-climbing strength helpful.
Yes—Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP) and a TIMS card are required; these are arranged in Pokhara or at permitted checkpoints.
Moderate fitness is sufficient: expect 4–6 hours hiking per day with steep stair sections; regular walkers who can handle sustained uphill effort will be comfortable.
Simple lodges offering shared rooms, hot meals and tea; facilities vary from basic to comfortable—bring a light sleeping liner and small towel.
Autumn (Sept–Nov) and spring (Mar–May) offer the most reliable clear views; winter is cold but can be clear; monsoon brings rain and slippery trails.
The route threads Gurung villages that historically served as trading and livestock hubs; tea houses grew with trekking tourism in the late 20th century.
