Tilicho Lake Trekking-World Highest Lake

Tilicho Lake Trekking

It is one of the highest lakes in the world at an altitude of almost 5,000 meters located in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas in Manang district of Nepal. Anyone attempting to do the Annapurna Circuit route usually cross these watersheds between Manang and Kali Gandaki valleys above the 5,000 meters high Thorong La pass. Various lodges have been built between Manang and the Lake, but there aren’t any accommodation sites or even teahouses past the Tilicho Base Camp lodge. Tilicho Lake and the trek as a whole is a very revitalizing experience, yet a very demanding and an extremely adventurous terrain, not meant for everyone, only the adventure junkies so-to-say.

This trek starts right from Besisahar, and follows the Marsyangdi River with great views of Manaslu and Him Chuli to the east. This magnificent route leads you through traditional Manangi villages inhabited by friendly, habitual people who always offer a warm welcome amidst the magical, snow capped Himalayas. This route is customized from the Annapurna Circuit route, instead of going north to Tanki Manang and Yak Kharka, we head east, following the Marsyangdi River to the village of Khangshar (Known as The Last Village of Nepal) and trek up to Tilicho lake. The route then joins the Annapurna Circuit trek once more to Thorong La Pass.
