Thorong La Via Tili-Cho Lake

Yes, people usually do Tilicho lake and call it the trek to do. So did we, but after years of experience in the Annapurna Conservation Area, we came up with this itinerary of Tilicho + Thorong La for a unique experience in terms of trails, landscape and culture. 

​

While Tilicho lake is a pristine blue freshwater alpine lake located at an altitude of 4,919m making it one of the world’s highest lakes, Throng La is the highest point in the Annapurna circuit, at 5,416m making this trek the perfect combination of the heights! 

 

Formed by the glacial melt of the northern slope of Annapurna Mountain and Thorung peak, beautiful landscapes, valleys, green hills, dense forests, artistic waterfalls, tranquil lakes, pristine rivers, gorge, sacred temples, colourful monasteries, Gompas make the trail of Tilicho trek fascinating.

 

A stunning glimpse of the mighty mountains peaks of the region such as Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchhre, Nilgiri and Himchuli keep adding to the scenery enabling the trekkers to make their long journey untried.

 

The trail going towards Tilicho Lake is under the Himalayan rain shadow region which makes the whole landscape stand out throughout your trek. Unique to our itinerary is that after finishing Tilicho lake we will head towards Thorong La pass, where on the other side of the pass we get to witness sunset at Dhaulagiri, the seventh highest mountain peak in the world!
