Annapurna Circuit Trek & Tilicho Lake 2020
Print

Overview

Tilicho Lake is a lake located in the Manang district of Nepal. It is situated at an altitude of 4,919 metres (16,138 ft) in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas and is known as the highest lake in the world.Another source lists the altitude of Lake Tilicho as being 4,949 metres (16,237 ft).
 
Mountain lakes are known to geographers as tarns if they are caused by glacial activity. Tarns are found mostly in the upper reaches of the Himalaya, above 5,500 metres (18,000 ft).
 
Tilicho Lake is the destination of one of the most popular side hikes of the Annapurna Circuit trek. The hike takes additional 3–4 days. No camping is required, as new lodges have been built between Manang and the lake. Final approach to the lake is done in a day hike from the lodge at Tilicho Base Camp.
 
Trekkers attempting the Annapurna Circuit route usually cross the watershed between Manang and Kali Gandaki valleys over the 5416 meters high Thorong La pass. The alternate route skirting Tilicho Lake from the north has been gaining popularity. This route is more demanding and requires at least one night of camping. There are no teahouses or lodges past the Tilicho Base Camp lodge some kilometers east of the lake and the next village of Thini Gaon in the Kali Gandaki valley. Most groups spend two nights between these places. There are two passes leading to Thini Gaon and Jomsom; Mesokanto La and Tilicho North pass known also as Tilicho “Tourist pass“. These routes via Tilicho Lake are more often closed by snow than the higher Thorong La.
 
Tilicho Lake and Annapurna Circuit trekking 2020 Organized by Nepal Guide Info is one of the very popular trips in Annapurna Himalayan Region. Tilicho Lake collects the glacial melt of the full northern slopes of Annapurna and Thorong Peak, which is claimed to be the highest lake in the world. In Hindu pilgrims from around the world gathered to the lake convinced it is a holy spot mentioned in the Ramayana – a holy book of the Hindus about this lake .
 
Tilicho Lake trekking starts from Kathmandu to Besisahar, then 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 Brahman , Chhetri, Gurung , Tamang, and Lama , offering spectacular and magnificent views of the white Himalayas. We have modified 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 Khangsar Village (The Last Village of Nepal) and trek up to Tilicho lake, then we travel to Yak Kharka then up to pass of Thorong La at elevation of 5416 m. From the pass of Thorong La, the Tilicho Lake trekking lead down to Muktinath then to Jomsom from where eighteen minutes scenic flights take you to the Pokhara after jomsom trek down to tatopani , ghorepani  then down to Naya pul back to Pokhara  by bus or car 
 
From Tilicho Lake you also have the option of crossing the challenging pass of Moesokanta La Pass to Jomsom instead of traveling to Thorong La Pass but good additional equipment with tented camp are require to go through Moesokanta La Pass. but this only Monsoon , Spring and Autumn
