This trek combines the classic Annapurna circuit trek with the journey towards the world's highest lake.

Details

Annapurna Circuit-Tilicho Lake Trek is meant for those who want the classic Annapurna experience with an added sense of adventure. Tilicho Lake is one of the highest alpine lakes in the world, and going on this side trek provides you with a more rewarding experience. This route allows you to explore the Manangi culture and the rain-shadow terrain. You can choose this variation of the Annapurna Circuit trek if you want to feel the combination of two adventures packed into one. 

In addition, the Annapurna Circuit-Tilicho Lake trek also provides you with variety. You can see the environment and culture change every few days, ranging from subtropical forests, alpine meadows, barren arid high desert, glacier-carved valleys, and then the iconic pass crossing. You also get a wide variety of foods during this trek, as the foods change with the altitude and local culture. The trail is well-marked, and the lodges are more comfortable compared to remote regions. At the same time, the cultural mix of this region is richer, especially in places such as Chame, Manang, and Marpha.
