Overview

One of the best things about trekking in the Annapurna region is there are so many hidden attractions that you can explore by going on side treks during your main trek. One such attraction is Tilicho Lake. It is regarded by many as the highest lake in the world, but this title is disputed. The route that leads the trekkers to Tilicho Lake extends from the Annapurna Circuit trek route, which is one of the best treks in the Annapurna region. Tilicho Lake Trek can be approached as a side trek, and also the main one. It is quite an exciting journey overall.

Tilicho Lake Trek

Depending on which version of Tilicho Lake trek you’re going for, the number of days in your itinerary can range between 14 to 22 days. On the trek, you will get to explore Tilicho Lake, which is considered by many as the highest lake in the world. It is situated at an elevation of 4919 m. Though this title is quite disputed, comparing Lake Tilicho height with other high altitude lakes in the world. On the Lake Tilicho trek, you will get to visit so many interesting villages such as Manang, Jomsom, Pisang, Dharapani, and so on.

Most of these places are the ones that you can explore during your Annapurna Circuit trek as well. There are three major attractions that are unique to Tilicho Lake Trek. These are Yak Kharka, Tilicho Lake Base Camp, and Tilicho Ri. On the trek, you also get to visit Muktinath, which is a significant religious site, and cross Thorung La pass. It is situated at an altitude of 5545 m, and it happens to be one of the most dangerous passes in Nepal. Tilicho Lake trek is an amazing trekking experience.

Nar Phu Valley Trek

Nar Phu Valley is situated in the northeast part of the Annapurna region. Quite like Tilicho Lake trek, this one is also a side trek to the Annapurna Circuit trek route. The main attractions on the Nar Phu Valley trek are the villages of Nar and Phu, and Kang La, a high altitude mountain pass situated at an elevation of 5360 m.

Mesokanto Pass Trekking

Mesokanto Pass Trekking is the extension of the Tilicho lake trek. The major difference between the two journeys is the Mesokanto La. You cover it on the first one and avoid it on the second. Mesokanto La is a high altitude mountain pass situated at an elevation of 5340 m.

The best thing to do is approach this journey as a side trek, as, in this way, you get to explore the best of the Tilicho Lake Trek route and Annapurna Circuit Trek route. When you go for the Tilicho lake trek only, you tend to miss major attractions of the Annapurna region. Needless to say that trying to cover both the routes at once makes the overall journey quite exciting and challenging at the same time. If you’re a trekking enthusiast, you should definitely try Tilicho Lake trek. You will absolutely adore Tilicho Lake, Tilicho Ri, and other attractions that you come across.

Train And Fitness

Physical fitness is one of the most key elements on the trek. The trekking in the Himalayan is not forced on it and pacing is always slow, most of the days generally being shorter than a hiking day at your home country. We believe that should be you’re imaginable of its kind of holiday trip literally than a contest to provide evidence of the travelers. We maintain situated so as to allow easy access to your trip can be demanding but not a difficult. You can make your own speed and enjoy your trip stunning atmosphere rather than following to other to catch. Himalayan Trails, recommend that you assume on a good fitness agenda proceeding to your trip although and one that builds up general strength and specific leg muscle groups. There is nothing like hiking with a bag pack to train for trek in Himalaya. So our best advice is to get out into the Hills or Alps as often as you can. You better ware your hiking boots and carry about 5-6 kg in your day bag-pack; this is a good weight to walk with it.

If you are doing Gym then which can be helpful and work on the thigh and calf muscles but better to build your heart rate over 50%. Any kind of heart breed activities are good but swimming will not add it doesn’t train right muscles groups better added other exercise to be effective. Hiking in Hills, Alps would be the best preparation for a trek in Nepal.

EXPERIENCE FOR THE NEPAL TREK

The trekking trail and area of Nepal mostly well trodden and natural path most of the regions, even though it can be rocky and rough in some parts. It is not precipitous and there is no rock climbing or Mountaineering which is requiring equipments. It is hike most of the way in Himalaya, but some parts of the hills can be steep up and down and can be longer!

On the way you may meet many people along the trails as well as Donkeys, Yaks and heavy load porters. Walking in the Himalaya there is rule of the way when meet an approaching Donkeys, Yaks and porters always make sure you step to always on side where wide enough to passes through each other,( towards slopes side of the hill or inside of the Trail). Note: never ever stand ridged sides of the trail. If you stand, it means, we call (outside standing is suicide and inside is safe site) because it can be push by them down to mountains or rivers.

The trekking poles are very useful, if you have problems with knees, depending on weather or personal choice for using them. Even though higher up, ice path, moraine, open slopes may give you extra support from it, also quite easy to follow the path.
Always final sections are can be Glacier itself and high elevation, it is bit difficult and occasionally slippery under trails. The ice is covered in water stones and dirt, so where a coolant produces cold temperatures in the surface below.

Comfortable, good sole, ankle support (4 seasons) trekking boots water proof are recommended for the high passes trek but for the lower trek light weight hiking boots are fine to protect you beside, probably going over an ankle, low altitude trek heavy boots will be hot and unwieldy.

ACCOMMODATION ON THE TREK

Tea house trek accommodation will be in comfortable tea houses and lodges run most of the area by local families, except people specify a preference for tents. Every tea house or lodge has a common heated Chimney in the dining hall, although the bedrooms are not heated with mattresses, pillows and two beds in a room. We recommend you to bring your own sleeping bag (3 seasons in normally fine) but possibility is also you can buy and hire in Kathmandu.

Generally most of the tea houses have hot showers by gas gizzards and they have squire toilets but some area have and use drop toilets with flush systems.

For the Camping/ Tent trekking we use branded company tents which are for two persons comfortably can sleep and can put your luggage on side, and we provide you the mattresses. Tents are fixed always near the guest house and eating in our own dining tent, sometimes eating can be indoors, depends on possibility. So toilets sometimes you will use from the lodge but obvious we will have our privet toilet tents too.

Himalayan Trails support 

Our main back bones of the trek are porters, will carry your main duffle bag up to a maximum weight of 12-14 kg per guest and supply for all the groups needs, if you need to go back down to the valley together with assisting you. Apart from specially camping, all the accommodations are in local lodge or Tea houses which are well prepared, warm and friendly environment.

Our entire trip we run by permanently Guides or Leaders, who have been employed over ten years with us and been training personally high standard leadership and first aid by our company. They know how to deal with emergencies and speak fluently English. They are always helpful and look after you so many years have been working with tourist and westerns, they know the westerns needs and understanding. Our porters are always who works with us forever all our teams are dedicated and they will provide high standards services.
