Overview
The Tilicho Tal (Lake) lies in the Annapurna range of the Central Nepal Himalaya. It is the highest Lake in the world (5200m). Stretching about 2.5mi / 4km long and about 0.6mi / 1km wide, it lies at the base of the Tilicho pick (7,134m). This tarns-Himalayan adventure begins from Beshi Shar which takes about 6 hours drive from Kathmandu and trail goes through the Marsyangdi River/valley to Manang district. Manang is the district of behind the mountain. We soon leave the lodges on the main trail to head up toward Tilicho Lake. These high Himalayan reaches are the habitat of the Gurung and Manage People and as well as Himalayan Tahr (Mountain goat/blues heap) and the snow leopard, among other mammals. The trial turn left from the mail trial of Throng Pass from Manang. After two and half hours, we will reach in other village called Khangsar, the last village of Nepal. From here we climb up to Tilicho Base Camp through the oldest Gompa of Manang called Tare Ghompa, it takes about 4-5 hours to reach Base Camp. Next day trail goes to Tilicho Lake and to Mesokanto La (5,300m) where we are rewarded with the first views of the Kali Gandaki valley. We descend to stay at the charming Thakali village of Marpha. Here on we 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. This is a splendid summer trek, as rewarding as it is challenging. The Tilicho lake trek is among the finest serious Nepal treks best experienced in the Monsoon
