Tilicho Lake Trek Package (151588),Holiday Packages to Kathmandu, Jomsom, Dalhousie

Package Overview

Tilicho Lake Trek in Annapurna region is highly renowned for being the highest lake trek in the world.Through ever so stunning trails across dense and lush forests, White Water Rivers, slippery ridges and ethnic villages of the locals, this trek takes you all the way up to the stunning Tilicho Lake in the Annapurna region. Tilicho Lake is situated at 4949m in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas in Manang district of Nepal. The Tilicho base camp trek is getting plenty of exposure and is getting highly popularized among adventure seekers as the trek can be done as a teahouse trek and there is no need for camping as new lodges have been built to accommodate tourists.

We begin the Tilicho Lake trek from the ancient city of Kathmandu with a local bus ride or a private jeep drive to the small town of Besisahar, from where the trek really begins. Walking along the rapidly flowing Marsayangdi River, with spectacular views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli looming around to the east, this trek is definitely going to be a lifetime experience. The Tilicho lake trek also leads us to exquisite and fine villages that are inhabited by a wide diversity of people from different ethnic groups all the while being surrounded by spectacular and majestic views of the white Himalayas. We have added a twist to the Tilicho lake trek as it is basically the same as Annapurna Circuit. As we get to Manang and instead of taking the valley north to Tanki Manang and Yak Kharka, we diverge our route to the west towards the main valley through the Khanshar Village (The Last Village of Nepal), from where we trek up to Tilicho Lake. We later trek to Yak Kharka and then walk through the pass of Thorong La at the elevation of 5,416m. After conquering the Thorong La pass, this treks lead us down to the home of a holy temple Muktinath, and then to the land of apples, Jomsom from where we have a 35-minute scenic mountain flight to Pokhara.Sightseeing or any extra activities except the above program
