Annapurna Circuit Trek: How to Stay Motivated During Difficult Days Difficult days happen on any long tour in the Himalayas, even with the best of trekkers. On our Annapurna Circuit trek, upward slopes, weary legs, cold mornings, ever-changing weather and long days of walking could stretch anyone‘s patience to the limit, so it is wise not to expect each day to be easy. Equip yourself mentally with coping strategies and some simple tips to keep you trekking in safety without making this a competition. Accept That Hard Days Are Normal The easiest way to get through a hard moment is to realize it‘s part of what you signed up for. The Annapurna Circuit Trek pushes you with steep climbs, long descents, high altitude and varied trails. Being tired and irritated does not mean you‘re not up to the challenge. Most trekkers hit a wall of feeling the trail shouldn‘t be this hard at some point. When it happens to you, stare it down, smile and keep saying to yourself, ‘it‘s only a few more hours’.
