The Tilicho Annapurna Circuit Trek combines the best of Nepal’s Annapurna region in a single epic journey. Starting from Besisahar or Besi Sahar, the trek leads through terraced fields, traditional Gurung and Thakali villages, dense rhododendron forests, high-altitude passes, and pristine alpine landscapes.

A major highlight is Tilicho Lake (4,919 m), one of the world’s highest freshwater lakes, set against the backdrop of the towering Tilicho Peak (7,134 m). The trek also crosses the Thorong La Pass (5,416 m), providing panoramic Himalayan vistas and an unmatched sense of achievement.

Along the way, trekkers enjoy a mix of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and adventure, including encounters with local communities, monasteries, and glacial streams. This trek is suitable for experienced trekkers who want to combine the Annapurna Circuit with the Tilicho Lake experience.
