Tilicho Lake trek is one of the trendy trips in the Annapurna Region. Tilicho Lake trek collects the glacial melt of the full northern slopes of Annapurna and Thorang Peak, which is claimed to be the highest lake in the world. Hindu pilgrimage all around the world gathered around the lake and was convinced that it is a holy spot mentioned in the Ramayana - a sacred book of the Hindus.
Tilicho Lake trek starts from Besisahar, Lamjung, which goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east. This magnificent Tilicho Lake trek leads you to the beautiful village inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and impressive views of the White Himalayas. We have modified this route as it is the same as Annapurna Circuit, from Manang instead of taking the valley north to Tanki Manang and Yak Kharka this route goes to the central valley to the west and passes through the Khanshar Village (The Last Village of Nepal) and trek up to Tilicho lake, then we travel to Yak Kharka then up to pass of Thorang La at an elevation of 5416 m. From the pass of Thorang La, the Tilicho Lake trekking leads down to Muktinath then to Jomsom from where twenty minutes scenic flights take you to the Pokhara.
From Tilicho Lake you also have the option of crossing the challenging pass of Moesokanta La Pass to Jomsom instead of traveling to Thorang La Pass, but right additional equipment with a tented camp is required to go through Moesokanta La Pass.
For Travelers to Tilicho Lake Trek, we can customize the days according to the choice and interest of the travelers, or if you have very limited time to explore the Annapurna region like the Ghorepani Poonhill Trek the Annapurna Base Camp or the Upper Mustang Trek would be a suitable alternative for your vacation.
