Overview of the Tour
The Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake Trekking offers an exceptional adventure for those seeking to explore the highest lake in the world amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas. This trek presents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in diverse communities and witness magnificent views of snow-capped peaks.

One of the most popular treks in the Annapurna region, the 16-day Annapurna Circuit Trek with Tilicho Lake, traverses through some of the toughest gorges of the Kali Gandaki and showcases the stunning turquoise lakes of Tilicho. As you journey deeper into the heart of the Annapurna region, you’ll encounter a rich tapestry of cultural villages and landscapes, ranging from lush subtropical forests to arid desert-like terrain. The trek also offers a spiritual retreat at Muktinath, where you can marvel at the majestic Annapurna peaks.

The journey begins with an early-morning bus ride from Kathmandu to Bhulbhule, followed by a shared jeep adventure to Dharapani, passing through picturesque villages and terraced fields. From Dharapani, the trek proceeds to Chame, where you’ll spend a night amidst stunning mountain vistas. Continuing onwards, you’ll pass through Upper Pisang, offering panoramic views of Lamjung Himal, Annapurna II, and Annapurna III, before reaching the Tibetan-style villages of Manang.

After acclimatizing in Manang, the trek ascends to Siri Kharka and onward to Tilicho Base Camp, where you’ll spend a night before reaching the magnificent Tilicho Lake. The pristine beauty of the lake, surrounded by towering peaks, offers a mesmerizing sight. Returning to Siri Kharka, you’ll resume your trek towards Yak Kharka, followed by Thorang Phedi and, weather permitting, Thorang High Camp. The challenging ascent to Thorong La Pass rewards you with panoramic views before descending to Muktinath, a sacred site revered by Hindus and Buddhists alike.

From Muktinath, the trek continues to Jomsom, a bustling market town, where you’ll catch an early morning flight to Pokhara. The journey concludes with a scenic bus ride from Pokhara back to Kathmandu.
