Tilicho Lake Trekking

Tilicho Lake TrekkingLocated at an altitude of nearly 4,900m, is a worth visit spot of Nepal. Though it is not restricted one but due to its remoteness and altitude, few tourists take off the popular Annapurna circuit to hike up to the lake which lies within the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP). Tilicho Lake is the holy place for Hindus. The shores of this idyllic, crystal clear lake, dotted with wild flowers in spring are ideal for camping. Tilicho Lake trekking follows the classic Annapurna circuit trail up to Manang and the deviates to Tilicho Lakeand crosses the Mesokanto La Pass to Jomsom. Whilst on the trek, one can emerge up to Muktinath, a famous Hindu pilgrimage place.
