Here's What Thomas Murphy would like to say about Tilicho Lake Trekking Experience!
Trekking in Tilicho Lake, Nepal was one of the most adventurous experiences I ever had. It is one of the least touristy and challenging trekking sites in the country, located at the Annapurna region. It requires trekkers to pass through some great passes like Namun Banjyang, Kangla and the Mesokanta La. This is why it is called “Annapurna Hard Way Trekking”. The area offers spectacular views of Annapurna range, Tilicho Peak, Lamjung Himal and the surrounding mountains. Trekkers also have the opportunity to spot different cultures such as Gurung, Thakali and Magar. It is ranked as a moderate trekking experience with a highest access of 5349m.
The only mode of trekking available is camping trek. During the hike, trekkers can observe stunning sights of Himalchuli, Nilgiri, Dhaulagiri, Gangapurna and the highest Lake in the world, Tilicho Lake. My experience with Tilicho Lake Trek was an incredible one and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience the Himalayas. Search for a renowned and experienced Sherpa trekking company to provide you with all the necessary guidance and assistance for the entire journey along with an unmatched adventure. This trekking journey is sure to take your breath away and leave you with an unforgettable experience.
Thanks for reading.
