The Tilicho Lake lies in the Annapurna range of the Central Nepal Himalaya. It is the highest Lake in the world (5200m). Stretching about 2.5miles / 4km long and about 0.6mile / 1km wide, it lies at the base of the Tilicho peak (7,134m). This is another mystical and romantic trekking destination in Nepal. It lies south of Thorong- La between Manang and Jomsom. In the past this trek has been considered off limits, being part of a military training area. However, recently it was realized that the restrictions apply only to part of the area and so it is still possible to trek there without entering the restricted region. Very few people realize this.

This Tarns-Himalayan adventure begins with a spectacular Himalayan views and the Marsyangdi valley from Beshishar for the Tilicho Lake - Mesokanto pass beginning with same trekking route for Annapurna circuit trekking till Manang trail to head up toward Tilicho Lake. These high Himalayan reaches are the habitat of the Himalayan Thar (Mmountain goat) and the snow leopard, among other mammals. From your camp by the shores of the Lake, you will climb up to the Mesokanto-La (5100m) where we are rewarded with the first views of the Kali Gandaki valley. You will descend to stay at the charming Thakali village of Marpha. Here on you follow the Kali Gandaki upstream to Kagbeni, and up a side valley to the shrine at Muktinath, sacred to Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims alike. The trip ends in Jomsom with an early morning flight to Pokhara. Tilicho Lake trekking route goes along the Marshangdi River and Gorge through the remote valley of Manang also known as the district behind the Mountains, to crest the arid, windswept northern flank of Annapurna at the Thorong-La (5416m).
