Tilicho Lake treks is the Annapurna undoubtedly provides some of the world's best trekking routes, including as it does a greater variety of scenery and culture than can be found in any other comparable area. The route via Tilicho Lake and the two passes (Masokanto La 5099m and Tilicho Pass 5230m) that guard it from the Kaligandaki Valley beyond is still used and offers the adventurous and fit trekker high mountain scenery at its very best. Masokanto La is low altitude pass than Tilicho but more technical and need to be use rope. With same timeframe you can also attempt the Tilicho pass. Trekkers choose the trekking via Jomsom and via Besi Sahar. We suggest to goes Tilicho Lake via Besi Sahar will be nice because to go via Jomsom is the more challenging and difficulty trail compare to go via Manang. If you wish to go only Tilicho base camp through Manang valley there is available good network of Teahouses so is possible to go Tilicho Lake trekking on teahouse basis which is cheaper compare with Camping trek but if you wish to cross Mesokanto La (Tilicho Pass) need camping arrangement. Tilicho Lake gives nice panoramic views. When you are in Manang oh you really want to see Tilicho Lake and It takes just 2/3 days more times then regular time to go Annapurna circuit treks.
