Nar Phu Tilicho Trek

Tilicho Lake is the highest lake in the world, at 5200m. The lake lies on the north side of the Annapurna Himal, just below Tilicho Peak (7134m). Reaching it is not easy as the route rises to the Mesukantu-La pass at 5300m.But it is an exciting and beautiful route, It is very technical, particularly the downhill section from the Mesukantu-La, and we do not recommend it for beginners, but with views of peaks at over 8000m and a variety of landscapes, plants and animals, it is well worth the effort. At night we stay in either village lodges or camps.Around Annapurna and Tilicho lake trekking takes you to the popular route via Besisahar to Manang with exciting sceneries on the way up.We have acclimatization day in Manang before we head up to spectacular Tilicho Lake for three days via Khangsar.
