Overview

Tilicho Lake with Annapurna Circuit Trek Overview

Tilicho Lake with Annapurna Circuit Trek is an adventure inside the exciting Annapurna region. The Annapurna circuit trek includes visiting the highest lake in the world, Tilicho (4,949m). The route also offers the opportunity to explore the greater landscapes and get excellent views of the Himalayas.  Annapurna region trekking is always popular all around the world.

Walk from the lower altitude farm hill, the trek gradually rises to the high Himalayan pass of Thorang La (5416m). The cool green forest of rhododendrons, pines, and magnolias, and the vibrant villages of the route are superb. Additionally, the exploration of Muktinath Temple adds excitement to the trek.  The locals living along the route are the Gurung, Magar, and Thakali tribes. Most of the people on the route practice Buddhism. 

Like other trekking in Annapurna, Tilicho Lake Annapurna Circuit Trek is a tea house type trekking. There are well-built local lodges on the route with good facilities for food and accommodation. Two permits are needed to make this trip. The first permit needed for the trek is the Annapurna Conservation Area Project permit (ACAP) and the next is the Trekkers information management system card (TIMS). 

The best months to trek in Nepal are autumn and Spring; to Tilicho Lake are the months of spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). At the same time, trekking in December is also appropriate. However, taking this trip during monsoon months (June to July) is not ideal due to the heavy rainfall.

Memorable Tilicho

Recently our group completed the Tilicho Lake trek, and it turned out to be a truly memorable adventure for all of us. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and we felt safe, supported, and well taken care of throughout the journey.A very special mention goes to Rama and Kamal, who were always with us at every step of the trek. They constantly checked on each person in the group, helped with pace, motivated us on difficult sections, and made sure no one was left behind at any point.They handled all the arrangements smoothly – from stay and food to managing the day’s plan according to everyone’s comfort and health. Whenever anyone felt tired or uneasy, Rama and Kamal were immediately there with support, guidance, and a calm attitude that gave us a lot of confidence in the high-altitude conditions.Because of their care, experience, and friendly nature, our entire team could enjoy the beauty of the Tilicho Lake trek without stress. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we are very grateful to Rama and Kamal for taking such good care of every single person in our group.
