詳細な内訳
The full Annapurna Circuit runs 14 to 18 days from Besisahar to Pokhara, with the Thorong La crossing at 5,416 m as the high point. Australian trekkers face 2 days of flights each way from Sydney or Melbourne to Kathmandu via Singapore or Kuala Lumpur, leaving 10 to 12 days in country for a 14 day holiday window.
The result is a 9 day walking itinerary from Chame to Jomsom, with the Thorong La crossing on day 6. Including 2 flight days to Nepal, 1 buffer day in Kathmandu, and 1 flight day home, the total is 12 days from Sydney or Melbourne.

答えに影響するもの
Flight connection quality is the biggest variable. Sydney and Melbourne have daily flights to Kathmandu via Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, or Bangkok. Perth adds a connection through Sydney or Singapore. Total flight time is 18 to 24 hours each way depending on layover length, leaving 10 to 12 days in country for a 14 day holiday.
Acclimatization tolerance matters. The short itinerary climbs from Chame at 2,710 m to Thorong La at 5,416 m in 6 walking days, which is fast. Trekkers with prior altitude sickness should add a second rest day at Manang and accept a 13 day total. Trekkers with strong altitude tolerance can compress to 8 walking days.
予約のヒント
Book the short Annapurna Circuit 10 to 12 weeks ahead for October and March departures. The Jomsom to Pokhara flight fills up in peak weeks and the Thorong La crossing date should include a buffer day in Manang in case of fresh snow.
Specify a Kathmandu to Chame jeep departure at 5 am to arrive by 6 pm. The road is rough and shared jeeps stop at Besi Sahar for the night. A private jeep direct to Chame saves a day.
Carry $100 to $150 USD in cash for lodge extras, hot showers, and charging fees. ATMs are available in Pokhara and Kathmandu only.
代替案との比較
The full Annapurna Circuit runs 14 to 18 days and $1,100 to $1,800 USD per person excluding international flights. It includes the Bhulbhule to Chame road walk and the Tukuche to Pokhara descent, which are skipped in the short version. Choose the full version if you have 18 to 20 days total including flights.
The Annapurna Base Camp trek runs 10 to 14 days and $900 to $1,400 USD per person excluding international flights. It reaches 4,130 m at base camp without a high pass crossing. It is the safer option for trekkers who cannot tolerate 5,000 m plus altitude.
避けるべきよくある間違い
Do not skip the Manang acclimatization rest day. The Thorong La crossing at 5,416 m is risky without 2 nights above 3,500 m. A day hike to Ice Lake at 4,600 m on the rest day is essential.
Do not book the Jomsom to Pokhara flight for the morning after the Thorong La crossing. Allow a full day in Muktinath at 3,800 m to descend safely and a buffer for flight delays. Book the Jomsom flight for the morning of the day after.
