Trip Overview

Tilicho Lake and Thorong La Pass Trek 18 days takes you to Tilicho Lake, the highest lake in Nepal as well as Thorong La Pass, the highest pass in Annapurna region that lies in between Manang and Mustang.

Like Annapurna Circuit Trek, this trek follows the same trekking route, but offers an additional opportunity to get to Tilicho lake and enjoy the pristine natural beauty in the abode of the Himalayas. Plus, you will be more acquainted with rich culture and lifestyle of inhabitants residing in the traditional villages of Annapurna region. The picturesque views of mountain peaks such as Tilicho, Muktinath, Nilgiri, Khangsar surrounding the lake and often reflected on the turquoise water are truly breathtaking.

Heading out of Tilicho lake, the trail leads to Tilicho Base Camp, then crosses Marsyangdi valley and turns to face Thorong La Pass Base Camp. From here, the walk starts to get a little tougher as we begin the first ascent of the trek to cross Thorong La Pass. The panoramic views of Mt Gundang, Syagang, Katungkan and Thorong Peak as seen from the top of Thorong La Pass makes an arduous hiking worthwhile.

After crossing the Pass, you will arrive at Muktinath Temple, the most significant sacred shrine of Hindus and Buddhist. Followers of both religions believe that one can attain salvation by visiting and taking a dip in the 108 water fountains surrounding the temple.

Then, comes the final leg of the journey on the trail as you hike to Jomsom and fly back to Pokhara. The beautiful lake city Pokhara bustles all day everyday with travelers, accompanied by hotels, guesthouses, shops, bus parks and airport. The 18 days sojourn close as we get to Kathmandu from Pokhara enjoying a scenic view along the way.

The magnificent views of Himalayan peaks along with natural and cultural diversity of Annapurna region are the greatest highlights of the trek. The 18 days long trek is full of changing landscapes, climate and vegetation. You will witness everything from the lowlands of paddy fields, lush forests of mid hills to tundra vegetation at higher elevation during the journey.

For these reasons and more, Tilicho lake and Thorong La Pass includes the best of Annapurna Circuit Trek as you hike in the historic salt trading route along the beautiful villages of Manang and Mustang. Come and be a part of this memorable journey with our highly experience trekking crews.

Trip Notes

The various destinations on Annapurna Circuit Trek such as Tal, Danaque, Chame, Manang, Muktinath, Jomsom, Kalopani and Tatopani are well connected with roads. Particularly, the road construction reaches up to Muktinath from Pokhara in the west and Chame, Manang in the east of Annapurna Circuit. Though the roads are not quite busier like in major highways, still the hiking trail pass through dirt road oftentimes, which creates trouble for many trekkers. So we try to avoid the motor road as much as possible in our trek route. Having considered this, we get to Manang via Upper Pisang and Ngawal. Similarly, we hike to Jomsom from Muktinath via Lubra Pass. We further like to notify that our trekking leaders do their best to avoid motor road, and give you the best trekking experience by offering the best itinerary option available.

Please understand: Sometimes due to natural calamities, changes in government rules, unforeseen circumstances such as weather, health condition of a group member, safety concern; there might happen a few changes in the itinerary. We seek your flexibility and cooperation during these times.

Flight delay in Jomsom

Jomsom airport lies at an elevation of 2,740 m in the mountainous region of Nepal. The weather gets unstable causing high speed winds as the day progresses in Jomsom. So most of the flights operate in the early morning to and from Jomsom. Sometimes, there are chances of flight cancellation due to unpredictable mountain weather, poor visibility and several technical reasons. In such event, “Trekking to Nepal” will arrange the alternative road transportation from Jomsom to Pokhara. 

Having said that, the expenses for vehicles will be covered from the reimbursement received from the flight ticket after deducting cancellation charge. So please be informed that there will be no refund from the flight in the case of using alternative motor vehicles from Jomsom to Pokhara.

What makes this trip different ?

Trekking to Nepal is an online booking platform of Ace the Himalaya. Ace the Himalaya works closely with and is one of the main supporters of non-profit organization Sambhav Nepal.

Ace the Himalaya covers the administration cost of Sambhav Nepal as the staff working at Ace also help in admin work of Shambav Nepal. For instance: making proposals, collecting information for the related projects, visiting the project sites, coordinating the local governments/authorities etc. That’s why, Sambhav Nepal doesn't have their admin cost in the project it runs.

Furthermore, Sambhav Nepal  provides support to people with needs such as education and health in villages of Gorkha through the children sponsorship program. We sponsor children for school which are conducted successfully in full collaboration with Ace the Himalaya and its sister organizations, Ace Holidays and Ace Xpeditions.
