Tilicho Base Camp Trekking

Tilicho Base Camp Trekking Regarded as one of the highest lakes in the world, it rests in the stunning location in the Annapurna region at an altitude of 5,000 meters. It was also the site of one of the highest ever altitude scuba dives in the year 2000. Tilicho Lake collects the glacial melt of the entire northern slopes of Annapurna and Thorung.

This trek begins from Besisahar which goes along the Marshyangdi River, with great views of Manaslu and Himal Chuli to the east. We then skirt Tilicho Lake from the north where we will camp for a night. From our camp by the shores of the lake, we climb up to the Mesokonto La where we are rewarded with the first views of the Kali Gandaki Valley. Along the trail we will go upstream to Kagbeni and up a side valley to the shrine at Muktinath, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike.
