trip overview

Annapurna Tilicho Lake Trek is located in Nepal. This lake has an elevation of 4,919m from sea level. It is a very famous lake in the Annapurna area. Annapurna Tilicho Lake Trek – 18 days is popular in Nepal. Also, the trek is popular among trekkers as a side trip of the Annapurna circuit trek where trekkers can go a different way after Manang village.

You can find a lodge in Khangsar village and Tilicho base camp but there are not any lodges in Tilicho Lake. Whereas, you will find a tea shop in Tilicho Lake that serves basic and you can pack lunch. You can do the trek in a day hike from the Tilicho base camp by leaving bags in the lodge. Then walk to Tilicho Lake and back to the lodge at base camp.

Tilicho Lake Trek is a nice and best side trip to the Annapurna region. When you are on the Annapurna trip do not miss this part. We are happy to organize our guest’s interests as well as a flexible itinerary. Because we have been working for 24 years in the tourism industry in Nepal. We provide license holders as well as an experienced trekking guide.

Very Very Happy – Tilicho Lake Trek!!

Happy Tilicho Lake Trek, We engaged Himalaya Guide Nepal at very short notice due to issues with our original guide service suddenly not replying to our emails. And leaving us feeling a bit vulnerable. I’m happy to report that Chandra not only organized our trip with very short notice. But he was also able to make some adjustments at our request only a day out.

Happy Tilicho Lake Trek, The quality of Denish (his younger brother) as our guide surpassed all our expectations. He is studying English literature. So, needless to say, communication was never an issue, and he had a genuine love of, and willingness to share his culture. Above all, he was genuinely kind, and always put our needs before his own. Massive thanks to our porter Bersing who put us feeble westerners to shame with his strength and stamina!

If I return to Nepal (and I may) would definitely seek out their services!

Thanks, guys!

Extremely Effective and Friendly Service!

Friendly Service, We just returned from trekking the Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho lake, Because we were very lucky to find a great trekking company in KTM. We engaged a porter and guide, So, their services were very efficient. Our guide had a great knowledge of the region and our porter was very helpful at all times. Mr. Chandra, the manager was in constant contact with us and the guide ensuring everything was going well. I returning to Nepal with my young daughter to trek in the Everest region and I will certainly go again with Himalaya Guide Nepal Pvt. Ltd.

If you are looking for a trip to Himalayan Nepal. And do not hesitate to contact this company, Manager Chandra Gurung. He will respond to you very quickly as your trip interest.
