Tilicho Lake Trek
Overview

The Tilicho Lake Trek offers an interesting section of trekking experiences that passes through beautiful valleys beyond the majestic mountains. From easy to quite strenuous, the route offers various landscapes throughout the trek. It makes it feel like we are exploring the hidden gifts of nature. The trek is a combination of pleasing geography, a strong mentality to achieve the trek, and patience against the obstacles.

Tilicho Lake Trek is situated at the highest point of the earth, at an altitude of 4,919 m above sea level, and is the largest freshwater lake. Which falls under the district of Manang in the Annapurna Region of Nepal. The gorgeous surroundings—Tilicho Peak, Mount Gangapurna, Mount Annapurna Ranges, and Nilgiri Hill—seem like the mesmerizing lake valley in the center. The exciting trek begins via a drive from Kathmandu to Chamje and begins the trek all the way to Tilicho Lake. Which goes from the hilly terrain to the mountain terrain. Of course, we enjoy every moment of our trek together.
