What people love about touring Annapurna Circuit solo
- Annapurna Circuit Trek 15 Days
“Trek was physically challenging at times but worth it. Views were spectacular. Our guide Ram was wonderful as were our porters. Food was good and the tea houses were basic but comfortable.”
- Annapurna Circuit Trek
In November 2016 along with 5 other woman I trekked to Annapurna & Poon Hill with Outfitter Nepal, all our communications from the very beginning were excellent, all our queries answered nothing was to much trouble. Once we arrived we had a day touring Kathmandu before beginning our trek. Our accommodation, vehicles & drivers,guide & porters were all above expectation. On the trek the tea houses are basic but that is all part of the experience. Meals were awesome. I can thoroughly recommend Outfitter Nepal to give you a once in a lifetime experience, taking care of your every need.

What a fantastic trip. Scenery so varied, views for days and days! Guides friendly and knowledgable. Wouldn't change anything - thankyou!

We got to experience the diversity of Nepali culture firsthand through visits to monasteries sharing meals with locals and learning about their traditions from our guide."
What safety measures are in place for solo travelers on guided Annapurna Circuit tours?
Tour operators maintain strict safety protocols on the circuit. Each group travels with government-certified guides who carry oxygen meters to check altitude adaptation. Lodges such as Marsyangdi Lodge in Manang keep staff available around the clock. Emergency evacuation support is standard on guided tours. A TourRadar traveler noted: "Our guide was extremely knowledgeable always monitoring our health and acclimatization. They went above and beyond at every opportunity to ensure our safety particularly when crossing Thorong La Pass."
What size are the typical trekking groups and how does this affect solo travelers?
