Annapurna Circuit
Trek is one of the major trekking routes in Nepal. However , this trek
including Tilicho lake is one mesmerizing experience as Tilicho lake is a
glacial lake seeping from the Annapurna and Tilicho peaks. This lake is
elevated at the height of 4919 m which was considered to be world’s highest
freshwater lake. But in 2019 another lake named Kajin Sara has been found and is considered to be at the
height of 5020m.
The trek starts from
Chamje of Manang similar to the Annapurna Circuit Trekking and moves forward
through the bank of the Marshyangdi River. During the trek, you can view the
majestic Manaslu and Himal Chuli peaks. The Tilicho Lake trekking trail leads
you through the Gurung and Tibetan Buddhist villages, which offer the unique
experience to discover their cultural values. Manang village is renowned
for preserving ancient cultural heritages of the Himalayan Tibetan Buddhism. The
Khanshar village is located in the isolated region of the Annapurna
Conservation Area, so it is regarded as the last settlement of Nepal.
Continually, the trek leads to the Tilicho Base Camp and Tilicho Lake then
retrace to the Yak Kharka and cross the Thorong La Pass (5416m). The view of
Annapurna, Manaslu, Lamjung Himal, Tilicho Peak, and glacial regions are seen from
the pass. It is steep ascending to Thorong La and still challenging to descend
to Muktinath. The trek offers the adventurous experiences of trekking in
Annapurna Himalayas. It leads up to Jomsom and flies to Pokhara.
