Tilicho Lake Trekking

Tilicho, the highest lake in the world, has a strong mythical connotation. Forming a part of the main Annapurna treks, the Tilicho Lake Trekking follows some of the most interesting Annapurna routes leading towards Jomsom trek by crossing Mesokanto-La Pass.
As an alternative route you can step back and cross the Thorong-La Pass instead of Mesokanto-La Pass. You will then head towards Muktinath and Jomsom as parts of the Round Annapurna Trekking. We highly recommend you to use camping trek since it will give you a wild sense of adventure of Tilicho Lake Trekking.
