Tilicho Lake is the highest lake in the world, which presents a particularly dramatic spectacle. It lies at the elevation of 5200m from the sea level. The lake lies on the north side of the Annapurna Himal, and it is just below Tilicho Peak(7134m). It is not easy to reach the Tilicho lake as the route rises to the Mesukantu-La pass at 5,300m. But it is an exciting and beautiful route. Sometimes its turquoise water reflects the surrounding peaks but more often it is frozen solid.
It offers a fascinating insight into the life of middle hill Nepalese, ethnic groups, from Hindu farmers to Tibetan Lamas. It also offers incredible views of many of the Himalayas’ most famous high peaks, crystal clear lakes. This lake is one of the most popular trekking destinations for the trekkers who are doing Annapurna Circuit trekking.
