Caroline’s ‘planned’ Trek itineraries

Here’s an idea of the planned itineraries for both my treks; it’s give or take a day.

**Annapurna Circuit( approx 300km/187m): Start date April 19:
I would like to do this in a day less (mainly to have an extra rest day between treks!), so this itineray could change quite a bit, but then again I may stick to just this.
