Manang & Tilicho Lake Trekking
Annapurna with a difference, Manang to Jomsom via Tilicho Lake
The Annapurna region undoubtedly
provides some of the world’s best trekking routes, including as it does a
greater variety of scenery and culture than can be found in any other
comparable area. Although the normal circuit of Annapurna
is a magnificent route, this new trek offers a wild and remote alternative to
the Thorung-La. The route via Tilicho
Lake and the two passes that guard
it from the Kaligandaki Valley
beyond is still little used and offers the adventurous and fit trekker high
mountain scenery at its very best.
The chance to sit beside the freezing waters
of the lake, surrounded by rock and ice, and with Tilicho
Peak towering above, is an exciting
alternative to the other more used trails. Having previously offered this route
as part of a longer Itinerary, now we have arranged to fly out of the newly
upgraded mountain airstrip at Jomsom and can therefore keep the overall length
to three weeks.
