Tilicho Lake Trekking
Tilicho Lake Trekking collects the glacial melt of the entire northern slopes of Annapurna and Thorang Peak, which is claimed to be the highest lake in the world. In 2001, Hindu pilgrims from around the world flocked to the lake convinced it is a holy spot mentioned in the Ramayan - a holy book of the Hindus.
Tilicho Lake Trekking starts right from Besisahar as Annapurna Circuit Trekking, which goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east. This magnificent Tilicho lake trekking leads you to the fine village inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups, offering spectacular and majestic views of the white Himalayas. We have customized this route, as it is basically, the same as Annapurna Circuit, from Manang instead of taking the valley north to Tanki Manang and Yak Kharka this route goes to the main valley to the west 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 Thorung La at elevation of 5416 meters. From the Thorung – La pass, the treks lead down to Muktinath then to Jomsom from where thirty-five minutes scenic flights take you to the Pokhara.
Tilicho lake trekking, you also have the option of crossing the challenging pass of Moesokanta La Pass” to Jomsom instead of traveling to Thorung La pass but good additional equipments with tented camp are require to go through this pass. If you are interested, Tilicho Lake trekking with this Moesokanta la pass also ready to organize as your desire. The time for Tilicho lake trekking is beginning of March to end of May and beginning of September to end of December. You can choose the details of itinerary as per your desire and holidays.

Had a great Poon Hill trek, although 5 days was too short!!! Will definitely came back and next times brave the Annapurna circuit. I would like to especially thank our brilliant guide, Thakur Sapkota & Outshine Adventure Treks & Expedition, without whom the trek would not have been the same. I would especially request his services on our return.
