Overview

The Tilicho Lake Trek is a spectacular and adventurous route in the Annapurna region that leads trekkers to Tilicho Lake (4,919m)one of the highest lakes in the world. This offshoot of the classic Annapurna Circuit offers breathtaking alpine landscapes, rich cultural encounters, and the ultimate reward of standing beside a turquoise lake nestled beneath snow-covered peaks.

The trek combines dramatic scenery with high-altitude challenges. The trail winds through picturesque villages like Manang, climbs steep cliffs, and takes you across landslide-prone sections to reach the lake. It’s an ideal trek for those seeking a less crowded but adventurous extension of the Annapurna Circuit.
