 Introduction

Tilicho Lake with Annapurna circuit Trekking 2024 you ever dreamed of trekking through some of the world’s most stunning landscapes, where every turn reveals a new vista more breathtaking than the last? If so, the Tilicho Lake with Annapurna Circuit Trekking might just be the adventure you’ve been waiting for. Imagine walking through lush forests, arid deserts, and quaint villages, all while being surrounded by some of the highest peaks on the planet. It’s an experience that combines natural beauty, cultural richness, and physical challenge in a way that few other treks can match.

Tilicho Lake is one of those places that has had next to mythic connotations. Many regard it as the highest lake in the world. It was for long almost totally closed save for a few climbers and expeditions, and since 1974, when Nixon changed the China policy, part of the area above Thini on the Jomosom side became a totally off-limits military area. From the Manang side it was rarely if ever visited.

A much sold guide book informed potential trekkers that the path to Tilicho was “a figment of some ones fantasy” and the locals in Manang had little knowledge of the route too, and were often thought to be slightly unfriendly as they were known for not being particularly keen on working as human beasts of burden for various expeditions that had passed. When asked to porter they had simply refused! Manang is no ordinary village. Its people are heavily involved in international trade, due to passport privileges granted in the past.

Highlights of the Annapurna Circuit

One of the most remarkable aspects of the Annapurna Circuit is its diversity. From the subtropical forests of the lower regions to the arid, desert-like landscape of the Manang district, the trek offers a constantly changing panorama. Crossing the Thorong La Pass, at 5,416 meters, is a highlight for many, as it’s one of the highest and most challenging passes on the trek.
