The major difference between Everest and Annapurna trek

Duration

Do you have limited time to trek? Well, Annapurna Trekking is the best option. The standard Annapurna base camp trekking can be completed within eight days. When you are fit and weather also good, you can spend some extra days in this region. On the other hand, Everest base camp trek requires 14days for the average trekkers because of the constant elevation gain in order to reach this region.

Scenery

The Everest Trekking starts and ends at the high elevations so that you will able to enjoy uninterrupted views of the stunning peaks and great scenery throughout the expedition. When trekking in the Annapurna region, you will spend first few days in the deep canyon of Modi Khola river. This majorly obstructs the clear view of the peaks. Once you have reached the summit edge, you will get a breathtaking experience because peaks are surrounded on all sides.

Accessibility and cost

One of the best and easiest ways to begin Everest base camp trek is taking the domestic flight to Lukla. This is considered the most dangerous airport in the world. If you want to have short airplane trip and less money to spend on air ticket, then Annapurna trek is the best option. It is because trekking trails can reach easily by car and bus from Kathmandu.

Level of trekking difficulty

Both trekking destination is equal in the difficulty level along with long stretches of sheer uphill and then downhill trails. Since Everest is located at the higher altitude, it requires more physical performance. Or else, you can tend to get mountain sickness.
