Tilicho Lake Trek

Tilicho Lake Trek

Tilicho lake(4920m), being one of the highest situated lakes of Nepal, is the foremost highlight of the Tilicho lake trek. The trail follows the prominent places of the Annapurna region designated to take visitors to the highest incredible place to be. It is an ideal route for the adventurers who want to convey their time in the lap of the Himalayas exploring selves and the serene nature around them. With every step up in your journey, you find a perfect transition of climate and vegetation along with the vibrant culture of Nepal.

This popular trail begins from Chamje from where you follow the Marsyangdi River trails, through the charming villages, and finally to the Tlicho lake held calmly between the rocks. Afterward, the trail leads you through Yak Kharka to join the main route of the Annapurna Circuit, the Thorongla Pass (5416m) being the challenging pass to climb through. The splendid view of the Annapurna range and Dhaulagiri Range while hiking across the Manang and Mustang respectively leaves you thrilled. Tilicho lake is a high altitude glacial lake and quite difficukt to trek there. Staying a night in a tillicho base camp and trek to Tilicho the next day will give you a stunning himalayas views during the trial.
