Annapurna Circuit Trek in 2月: what to expect

February is still winter, but the worst of the cold starts to ease towards the end of the month. Skies are often clear, with long views in the early morning and cloud building in the afternoon. Snow from earlier storms may remain on high trails and passes, and ice on stone steps slows descents. Lodges at lower and middle altitudes are open; the highest ones may be quiet. Trekkers are few, so partners are scarce but guides and lodges are not stretched. It suits people who handle cold well and can accept a rest day if a storm moves in. If you are comparing months, February is a sensible choice for walkers who want quiet trails and are happy to carry the extra warm layers.

On the Annapurna Circuit, February still carries snow risk on Thorong La at 5,416 m, with cold nights in Manang and Thorong Phedi. The lower Kali Gandaki side is easier. Check pass conditions with lodges and keep several spare days in the 14-day plan.

General seasonal guidance, not a forecast. Conditions change year to year; confirm weather, flights and trail status with your guide or lodge before you go.
