Have you been to the Annapurna Circuit Trek but not Tilicho lake? This Tilicho Lake Trek is one of the most beautiful and exciting quick treks one can do in Nepal. It lies in Manang (Annapurna Circuit Region), and a lot of people take it as a side-trip whilst trekking the Annapurna Circuit. Tilicho lake is an attractive glacial lake with Tilicho top at an altitude of 4920 meters covering a big location of 3.5 rectangular kilometers.
Most people consider it as the highest lake in the world (but surely it isn’t), which on the other hand doesn’t take away the reality that Tilicho will depart you spellbound. You will journey mountains up close, see the culture of Manangi people, come across breathtaking waterfalls, and stroll through the huge mountain valley of Manang decorated by a range of flowers and fauna.
This Trekking all the way beside the Marshyangdi river as you follow the river all along. Although the complete area is connected by motorable roads, you have options to skip the roads and take off tracks in between by following the trail markers. If you are short of time, you can cut the journey short by taking a jeep through one of the most dangerous roads to Chame (which will also add an adventurous side to the trek) and start the trek from there.
The trail is the same as Annapurna Circuit till Shree kharka, from where you take a left turn to Tilicho lake via Khangsar. The motor road ends at Khangsar. The trail from Khangsar to Tilicho Base Camp (for two hours or so) is spine chilling as you will be walking through the landslide area. Then, a stiff uphill through the narrow path awaits to take you to Tilicho.
