Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake Trek

A 15-day trek through the Annapurna Conservation Area, taking in Tilicho Lake and the Kali Gandaki Gorge before crossing Thorong La Pass at 5,416m, one of the highest trekking passes in the world.

You walk through forests of rhododendron, oak and bamboo, with the peaks of Annapurna I-IV, Dhaulagiri, Machapuchare and Manaslu visible for much of the route. The trail passes through villages including Chame, Pisang and Manang, where you spend a rest day to acclimatize before the pass.

Beyond the mountains, this is also a walk through communities and cultures that live in this part of Nepal, with a visit to the Hindu and Buddhist site at Muktinath. The trip ends with a drive down to Pokhara and on to Kathmandu.
