Tilicho Lake +Annapurna Circuit Trek is an adventure that takes you to hidden pockets of the Annapurna Himalayas and beyond Manang Valley. Completely enclosed by surrounding giant peaks, its glaciers feed beautiful and scenic Tilicho Lake.

Tilicho Lake and Semi Annapurna Circuit Trek is a wonderful combination of trekking destinations. We have planned this beautiful adventure with the inclusion of the emerald-coloured lake of Tilicho. It is one of the least visited trekking destinations located beyond the main Annapurna circuit trail. This makes the walk even more interesting in losing the mass flow of trekkers on the peaceful walk to Tilicho Lake.

Much of the trekking days are almost the same on the main Annapurna circuit trails. To make a little different trekking experience from normal ones, where we have included beautiful Tilicho Lake and a short and scenic flight to Pokhara city and its green valley. Pokhara is situated in the shade of the high Annapurna Mountains with the calm lakes of Phewa and Begnas.

Before beginning your trek, make sure you have a first aid kit with ibuprofen or paracetamol and Diamox. If anyone falls victim to altitude sickness, it is necessary to inform the trip leader and descend to a lower altitude. In extreme cases, it might also be necessary to perform Heli rescue and emergency evacuations.

Depending upon the insurance policy and the company, the insurance will look after tragic like theft, loss or accidental damage of gears and other belongings, baggage, and medical emergencies. Likewise, the insurance should also include helicopter evacuation and any kinds of mishaps that might occur during adventure sporting like bungee jumping, rafting, and zip-lining.

Trekking Seasons in Nepal

The country lies on the temperate zone and has four distinct climates: spring, summer (with monsoon), autumn, and winter. Normally, the best time to trek in Nepal is during March-May (spring) when the skies are clear, trails are filled blooming flora, and the temperature is just the right.

Another appropriate season is mid-September to November (autumn), during which the temperature is moderate, skies are clear, and mountain views are stunning. The summer season (June – August) is occupied by heavy rainfall increasing the chances of landslides in the hills, while the winter season brings in harsh weather conditions and extreme cold. However, there are treks which can be done during winter and monsoon as well.

Upper Dolpo and Upper Mustang regions lie in the rain-shadow area so, they are ideal trek destinations during monsoon. Likewise, easy and low-altitude treks like Ghorepani Poonhill and Tamang Heritage Trek are perfect during the winter season.
