Thorong La Pass via Tilicho Lake

Tour itinerary: Kathmandu

One of the highest lakes in the world, Tilicho Lake is located at a height of around 5000 meters. It is situated in Mustang district, specifically in the western Annapurna area of Nepal. The trek from Tilicho Lake to Jomsom leads us to the stunning lake encircled by picturesque mountain surroundings. The Tilicho Lake to Jomsom Trek follows the frozen melt of the whole northern slope of Annapurna, passing over the Annapurna region's Thorong Pass. Hindu pilgrims go from all over the world to the lake because it is revered as a sacred location and is referenced in the Ramayana, one of the Hindus' sacred texts. After a comfortable bus trip from Kathmandu, you arrive at Besisahar, the district headquarters of Lamjung district, where this trek/tour begins. You will travel up to Chamje from Besisahar via a road that the Nepal Army just built to give access to the Manang area. With breathtaking views of Himal Chuli and Manaslu to the east, the route hugs the Marshyangdi River. After a fantastic hike, you will arrive in a nice community with a diverse population from several ethnic groups and breathtaking views of the snowy Himalayas. Since this route is essentially the same as the Annapurna Circuit, we have modified it. Starting at Manang, rather than traveling through the valley north to Tanki Manang and Yak Kharka, this route proceeds to the main valley to the west, passing through Khanshar Village—the last village in Nepal—and climbs up to Tilicho Lake. Subsequently, we journey to Yak Kharka and ascend to the 5,416-meter Thorong La pass. Tilicho Lake to Jomsom Trek is an exciting adventure that combines parts of Jomsom Muktinath Trek with the parts of the Annapurna Base Camp Trek. After our already stunning journey, we take a short scenic flight back to Pokhara to enjoy the famous tourist city for a day.
