Trip Overview

The Tilicho Lake Trek offers a captivating alternative to the renowned Annapurna Circuit Trek. This journey mirrors the Annapurna Circuit in many ways, leading adventurers to Nepal’s highest lake, Tilicho Lake, at an elevation of 4,920 meters. The lake, set amidst a breathtaking mountainous backdrop, presents a spectacular view. Its blue-green waters, reflecting the surrounding peaks, are a common sight between September and May. During the colder months, Tilicho Lake transforms into a solid, icy expanse, lying at the base of the majestic Tilicho Peak, which towers at 7,134 meters.

The adventure begins in Dharapani, the same starting point for the Annapurna Circuit Trek. To reach Dharapani, travelers take the Prithvi Highway to Dumre Bazaar, then turn towards Besisahar and Dharapani. The route from the bazaar meanders along the Marshyangdi River, offering splendid vistas of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east. After departing Besi Sahar, the trail transitions to dirt roads and crosses the Marshyangdi River. The journey progresses through the first Gurung village of Khudi, navigates stony steps down to Puwa, and merges onto the Khudi Road. Bhulbhule marks the first checkpoint for the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP) permit. This segment of the trek primarily involves trekking on dirt roads up to Manang.

The segment from Manang to Muktinath is characterized by dedicated trekking trails. The trek to Tilicho Lake is particularly thrilling, with awe-inspiring views of the lakes and the snow-covered ridges between Khangsar Kang and Nilgiri. The path to Tilicho Base Camp is notably narrow, requiring utmost caution. The journey continues towards Thorong La Pass, with breathtaking views of Mt. Gangapurna, Mt. Annapurna IV, and Mt. Annapurna III en route, followed by Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri after the pass. The trail leads to the sacred site of Muktinath, revered by both Hindus and Buddhists. En route to Jomsom, trekkers have the opportunity to explore ancient caves and monasteries, some over a century old. The trek concludes with a scenic 25-minute flight from Jomsom to Pokhara, offering a fitting end to an unforgettable adventure.
