17 Days Adventurous Annapurna Tilicho Pass Trekking

Visiting the most pristine and highest placed Tilicho Lake (4949m) has been the dreams for many explorers around the world. It is a glacier-fed lake surrounded by crystal clear mountains, plenty of indigenous folklore, and extreme environment with the presence of a strong spiritualness. Since the trek is connected to the legendary Annapurna Region area, the trail provides the fascinating and magnificent views of massif Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges along with the real taste of trekking in this area. The Tilicho pass trekking might be quite challenging due to difficult terrain. However, it is acceptable that the beautiful sceneries of Manang and Tilicho treat you surprisingly.
