Tilicho Lake at an altitude of (4,949m) is a well-known place for pilgrimages. Hence, as we go to the high altitude to triumph over the view of the lake is not an easy task, but this trip is truly exciting, thrilling and more or less rewarding. Though trekking Tilicho Lake is a challenging trekking route, it one of the finest trekking routes in the Annapurna region and easy, compared to Treks in Everest and Kanchenjunga region. This trek displays a scenic view of much of the eastern side of the epic world-famous Annapurna circuit with sublime natural beauty, cultural and traditional values, stunning waterfalls and running clean water streams, and attractive floras and faunas.
 
Our trip begins with a cruise from Kathmandu to Besisahar and we hike from Besisahar, the path offers you fantastic views of gigantic peaks including Mt. Annapurna (8,091m) 10th highest mountain of the world, Mt Dhaulagiri, (8,167m)-worlds 7th highest, Manaslu,( 8,163m)- worlds 8th highest, and Machhapuchhre at ( 6,993m ). On the way to Tilicho Lake, you get serene views of waterfalls and experience hiking across airy suspension bridges. But this route is a pretty tough trail. You have to walk at alpine altitudes and you have to cross the Thorung La pass at (5,416m). The rocky trails, high hills and hiking through rivers tend to pose challenges. But the rewarding landscapes give meaningful joy to accept the geographical obstacles.
 
Going through Manang is special as you can enjoy the natural beauty of this particular area.

On the way, you will enjoy the thrills of altitude and enjoy the culture of people living on the way. Finally, reaching Muktinath and spending some beautiful moments at this quiet place, the landscapes here are simply stunning.
