Budget for 18 days around Annapurna trip?

Going through my notes here I see that I spent USD 27 on average during my last trek in the Annapurna. I did ABC rather than the circuit but it should be comparable. I usually had porridge and a pot of tea for breakfast, macaroni or noodles for lunch together with another pot of tea, and Dal Bhat with yes more tea for dinner. I find that drinking a lot helps me with acclimatization hence all the tea. I didn't drink any alcohol but did frequently have a mars bar or a snickers during the afternoon.

It is what I normally spend in Pokhara per day. Thank you.

Very good point! I often try to make people realise that when calculating the costs of trekking they always include the cost of food, but but forget that when NOT trekking they are likely to spend more money just for normal living (hotels mostly) in just about any tourist city like Kathmandu or Pokhara. In that sense going trekking has a NEGATIVE cost, they are likely to save money, not spend more.
