This trek combines one of the best treks in the Annapurnas – the Annapurna Circuit – with a trip to the high altitude lake (5,200m) of Tilicho.

This is reputed to be the highest altitude lake in the world! Along with the lake, the mountains on display during these 16 days include: Mt. Dhaulagiri (8,167m), Mt. Annapurna I (8,091m), Mt. Manaslu (8163 m), Mt. Annapurna II (7,937 m.), Mt. Annapurna III (7,555m), Mt. Annapurna IV (7525m), Mt. Annapurna South (7,219m), Mt. Nilgiri (7,041m), Mt. Fishtail also called Mt. Machhapuchhare (6,998m), Mt. Hiunchuli (6,441m), Mt. Lamjung Himal (6,986m), Tukuche peak (6,920m), and Tilicho Peak (7,134m). Quite a spectacular number of giants!

The trek starts at Kathmandu and ends in the vibrant town of Pokhara. On the way, you will pass through areas of lush vegetation, pastures, farmland, and forests. At times the landscape will be arid and dry, and perhaps with snow and ice on the Thorong La pass. This is also a unique way to see the different landscapes of Nepal in one trip. Crossing the Thorong La is perhaps the hardest part of this trek but the feeling of achievement and the views on the way make it really worthwhile.
