Tilichol Lake, Western Region, Nepal

5.0 (24 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Western Region Bodies of Water

Up in the heaven

One of the best places on the earth. I have been here few times, during both May and October season. May season has the lake frozen but you can enjoy the whole place almost for yourselves. The view of the trek is equally beautiful in both seasons. The lake is pristine blue during October but the unbearable crowd kills almost all the fun. The enroute view is extraordinary. It is awe inspiring especially for those used to living on the south of the Nepalese Himalayas to be on the other side of the majestic Himalayas. Some places between the TILICHO lake and the Basecamp can be tough but I was busy being mesmerized by the surrounding beauty that I hardly mind it. It’s a must visit place for me.

    "Supper amazing and beautiful lake in Nepal Himalaya"
    I visited almost all lake in Nepal Himalaya and finally i found this lake is one of the highest lake in Nepal and it's located in Manang district. This lake is not only big this lake is also beautiful and changing mind when i been there with my team. I am Trekking and Travel operator in Nepal since 2000 AD and i am so happy to be here after many years experience trekking guide. Do you looking Annapurna circuit trek through your beloved travel agency, with your friend please don't miss the chance to visit there and relax feel your self. We start our walk early morning from Alpine home Manang and we reached after 9 hours hard walk i should stay there in Khangsar but we want to go there directly so that we did even hard and high altitude. Congratulations all of you who been there. Great Panorama Treks and Expedition (P.) Ltd Kathmandu, Nepal

    Tough but Amazing
    I visited the Tilicho Lake side trail with a friend in April 2018 over 3 days. The lake itself was completely frozen over at this time of year, however the snowcapped mountains along the way where probably at their most majestic along this section. The terrain itself was tough in parts, particularly on the way to the basecamp as you mist traverse scree through landslide prone areas. The accent of 800m upto a touch over 5000m from the base camp to the Tilicho Lake look out is of course very taxing, with many steep switchbacks before the top. However the view and sense of accomplishment more than makes the effort worth the climb. My YouTube channel 'Intrepid Road' has two detailed videos on the trail to give you an idea of what to expect.
