Manang & Tilicho Lake
(21 Days, Camping/Lodges)
| Annapurna with a difference:
Manang to Jomsom via Tilicho Lake |
 One
of the world's best trekking routes is provided by the
Annapurna region, 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 Kali Gandaki 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, this year we have arranged to fly out of the
newly upgraded mountain airstrip at Jomsom and can
therefore keep the overall length to three weeks.
