You can see different types of landscapes and soil functions with magnificent views of the high snow-capped Annapurna Mountains while trekking to the Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake in Nepal. You can also explore vantage viewpoints and Buddhist monuments on this trip.
The 14-day Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trek begins from Dharapani after a long drive from Kathmandu and ends in Berethanti walking on the Ghorepani Poon Hill route. So, you can enjoy lower altitudes and high Himalayan Alpine natures from this tour at the same time.
The Tilicho Trail after Manang will be very busy for a few days because of its popularity; you will meet many domestic trekkers. Hiking to the Lake from the Tilicho Base Camp is the most challenging day on this trip, which takes 4-5 hours, and you have to start early in the morning with a flashlight.
Two Weeks Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trekking Itinerary
You drive to Dharapani from Kathmandu on the first day to start walking for two weeks at Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trekking. It is a long driving journey, which takes around 10-11 hrs. You can use public transport to Besisahar and change to another jeep to Dharapani or hire private transportation directly from Kathmandu.
You start walking to Chame the second day after a night's stay in Dharapani. It is a busy place because trekkers from the Manaslu Circuit arrive for their last night before returning to Kathmandu. You walk Pisang on the third day and then Manang. You will have open mountain views after Pisang on this trip.
You must have an altitude practice rest day on the journey to Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake to have a spare day in Manang. You can either hike to Parken Gumba (100 Lama) or Chhongkar Viewpoint towards Gangapurna Lake and Glacier.
After being climatized in Manang, you trek to Tilicho Base Camp through Khangsar on the fifth day. You must cross the landslide area, where sometimes stone drops, before you reach Tilicho Base Camp. On the sixth day, you hike to the World's Highest Lake, starting very early in the morning, around 4-5 am, with a flashlight.
After visiting pristine Lake, you return to the base camp for lunch and trek to Khansar. You will also see magnificent views of Tilicho Peak, Khangsar Khang, Gangapurna, and more with Mount Manaslu (8157m) from the Tilicho Trail.
On the eighth day, you reach Ledar through Yak Kharka, which leads to Throng La Pass on the Annapurna Circuit Route. You go over this world's most significant past on the 10th day, another tough day of this journey.
After Thorong La Pass, you get to Muktinath and drive to Tatopani (hot spring) the next day. You trek to Ghorepani from Tatopani, a long walk on an ascending trail. Here, you visit Poon Hill on the thirteenth day's early morning for the sunrise, hike to Hile, and drive to Pokhara. Then, you go back to Kathmandu on the fourteenth day.
