Incredible Journey Through the Annapurna Region

27-Aug-2024

The Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trek exceeded all my expectations! The diversity in landscapes, from alpine forests to barren deserts, kept the trek interesting and breathtaking. The detour to Tilicho Lake was a challenging climb, but seeing the pristine beauty of the lake made every step worthwhile. The tea houses were cozy and welcoming, and I loved interacting with the local communities. The trek offered a great mix of culture, adventure, and stunning Himalayan views. It was a physically demanding trip, but one I would do all over again!

Tilicho Lake: A Hidden Gem in the Annapurna Circuit

29-Aug-2024

Trekking the Annapurna Circuit was an incredible experience, but adding Tilicho Lake to the journey made it even more special. Tilicho Lake is truly a hidden gem, often missed by trekkers, but it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. The trek up to the lake was challenging due to the altitude, but the sight of the lake surrounded by massive peaks was unforgettable. The circuit itself was well-paced, with plenty of acclimatization days. Highly recommend this trek for anyone looking for a mix of challenge and serenity!

Kai Osborne Wales

Challenging but Worth Every Step

31-Aug-2024

The Annapurna Circuit with the Tilicho Lake extension was tougher than I expected, but the rewards were beyond compare. The high-altitude Tilicho Lake was mesmerizing – the clear blue water against the snow-capped mountains was like a scene from a dream. The entire trek was well-organized, with great support from guides and porters. The constant changes in scenery and climate made every day exciting. If you’re looking for a trek that will push your limits and offer some of the most stunning views Nepal has to offer, this is the one!

The Annapurna Circuit and Tilicho Lake Trek was one of the best experiences of my life. The natural beauty of Nepal is beyond words, and this trek gives you a front-row seat to some of the most spectacular landscapes on Earth. Reaching Tilicho Lake was the highlight – the sheer beauty of the place took my breath away. It’s a tough trek, especially at the higher altitudes, but with proper acclimatization and support from the guides, it was completely doable. I highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for adventure, beauty, and an unforgettable journey through the Himalayas.
