Tilicho Lake Tour

Upon arrival, your guide will warmly receive you and transfer you directly to the hotel. Once refreshed and relaxed, take your time, and get prepared for the thrills awaiting you. You can take a stroll in the lively streets of Thamel, studded with bustling boutiques, great restaurants, and a bubbly atmosphere later in the evening.

The seven to eight-hour drive from Kathmandu to Jagat is one of the most beautiful scenic drives in Nepal. While driving through the beautiful roads, you will come across old communities, beautiful farms, and variable scenery. The road offers perfect continuous waves along the Marshyangdi River, as well as glimpses of the distant snow-capped mountains. This beautiful drive packs every minute with visual beauty and values on your journey, offering a fine introduction to the various sites and civilizations you will visit.

Further on our way up to Manang, this beautiful village amidst the Annapurna region, throughout the drive—views from snow-capped peaks to sparkling rivers. It lies at an altitude of 3,519 meters yet still upholds the perfect blend of Manang's natural beauty and culture. Walk in the narrow alleys of this village, admire the age-old monasteries of this place, and just spend some time acclimatizing to this altitude. This stop will not only enrich your journey but also offer an experience of the serene environment amidst rich traditions of this high-altitude settlement.

First day of the trek to Tilicho Base Camp, it's an exciting start of the trip. It expresses the path in gigantic arrays of landscapes, from rocky and rough pathways to green meadows with tremendous panoramic views of the magnificent Annapurna range. As you trudge along, through this isolated area with few visitors, you feel good inside—adventurous and tranquil, sensing the greatness of the Himalayas. Our experienced guides give great importance to your safety and comfort, so this journey will be not only full of memories but a very delightful one as well.

We start early in the morning and begin an ascent to breathtaking Tilicho Lake at 4,919 meters, the world's highest altitude lake. This beauty at a high altitude has crystal clear waters, towered by peaks all around it that offers surrealism and tranquility capturing the heart of each and every visitor. So after soaking ourselves in the beauty of the lake, we descend towards the village of Khangsar. Here, rich tapestries of tradition blend beautifully with the natural beauty of the surrounding area to form an atmosphere full of tranquility and cultural enrichment.

After the breakfast, we drive back to Besisahar, retracing the drive that led us to this breathtaking landscape of the Annapurna Region. As we retrace the wind through time, there is plenty of time to recline and take in the sparkling days of the past. The marvelous landscape unfolds right before your eyes, reminding you of the breathtaking terrain you have come through. Only when you reach Besisahar with its lovely weather and tranquil perspectives does it feel like a place as wonderful as this — serene and an almost perfect break — right before one moves forward in the journey.

Today, we drive to the beautiful town of Pokhara, a treasure trove of beauty with its sojourn lakes and magnificent mountain views. Our drive from Besisahar to Pokhara goes via green forests, villages, and valleys, some of which are arguably some of the most beautiful scenery in the region. We check into the hotel and spend the evening exploring the colorful town around the lake at Lakeside. Take walks down quaint streets, enjoy serene boat rides on Phewa Lake, or simply sit back and let the tranquility of the atmosphere and landscapes be yours to savor; it characterizes Pokhara.

Plan for a whole-day outing at Pokhara: begin the fabulous day by exploring the alluring beauty of Davis Falls and then go on an adventure in the mysterious Gupteshwor Cave. The serene ambiance of World Peace Pagoda, with its overwhelming panoramic views of the town and majestic Himalayas, is just an epic experience. It will then conclude with a magnificent viewpoint at Pumdikot from the side of the Giant Shiva Statue. Stroll around leisurely at the lakeside, go shopping for souvenirs that speak a little more, and bathe in the bewitching atmosphere of relaxation and appeal that only this enchanted city can offer—experience the blend between natural beauty and cultural richness.

Next morning, we have breakfast before driving back to Kathmandu. On your way back, you can catch a final glance at the scenic beauty of Nepal's countryside. On reaching Kathmandu in the evening, you can visit some more cultural landmarks of the city or do some last minute shopping in Thamel.

At the end of this most unforgettable journey, our representative will transfer you to the airport for your final departure. May you depart with wonderful memories and a soul enriched by the experiences gained from the Tilicho Lake Tour. Safe travels, and see you again in Nepal for even more adventures!
