Tilicho Lake Trek takes you to one of the highest lakes in Nepal. This turquoise lake stands at 4919m in the Manang district of Nepal, fed by the glacial melts of the Annapurna and Thorong peak. Tilicho Lake is a holy lake sacred to the Hindus. Every year thousands of pilgrims make this journey to bathe in the waters of this lake. Tilicho Lake Trek is an adventurous journey that will take you to the heights of Annapurna, with great views and cultural diversity. The trail traverses past pasture lands, alpine meadows, ancient monasteries, and picturesque villages inhabited by people from different ethnic backgrounds.
We can combine this Tilicho Lake Trek with the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Most trekkers do the Tilicho Lake Trek along with the Annapurna Circuit Trek. The trek trail follows the regular Annapurna Circuit Trek route until Manang. From Manang, the trail diverts towards Khangsar village and to Tilicho Base Camp and Tilicho Lake. After completing Tilicho Lake, they can continue the circuit from Manang, thus finishing the trek in Pokhara.
