: is it possible to MTB the 300km annapurna circuit? how much carrying is involved? are the walking paths like singletracks at all?
Yes: it is possible. I think you have to carry between 10 to 25 percent, depending on your skill level. Parts of it would be fine single track. However, there are also quite a few "stairs" made of slabs. Many ascents/descents consist of such "stairs" rather than switch backs.
