How difficult is Annapurna Base Camp Short Trek?
Hard for Novice Trekkers
It may turn out into a challenge for novice trekkers as one have to walk atleast 7-8 hours a day for whole 7 days covering approximately 115 km distance. Also, ups and downs and sometimes very steep ascend and descend might be a kind of problem for those who are not familiar with regular exercise and also hard for knee patients.
Altitude Sickness
As there are no rest days for acclimatization during Short Annapurna Base Camp trek, there is a high chance of getting altitude sickness for those who belongs to extreme lowland or who haven’t been to higher elevations. So, one should be prepared while moving towards the higher elevations.
Weather and Temperature
It is very difficult to predict the weather in mountain region and hence unpredictable weather affects the temperature too. The highly experienced guides are the one who could somehow predict the weather and guide the trekkers whether to wait for the situation or continue the trek. It’s been always a great challenge and have to be well prepared while on short trek to Annapurna Base Camp.
Trekking without Guide
Without trekking guide, you might feel difficult for this short ABC trek. He is the one who is highly experienced and knows everything related to acute mountain sickness, trekking hours and distance, trekking trails, weather and temperature in Himalayas and so on. So, there is a high chance of making successful trip to ABC with a guide as one might not be familiar with all the factors affecting the trek.
