Itinerary for Thorong La Pass with Tilicho

Thorong La Pass trek with Tilicho Lake is a submerged trek that entails both the passing of Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world as well as Thorong La Pass which in itself is a one of the highest passes in the Nepalese Himalayas. Although the trek may initially appear to be exceedingly challenging and physically taxing, the results are truly captivating and may actually evoke the essence of the Annarpurna circuit. The lake itself is the main draw of this trek.

Thorong La Pass, also referred to as Thorung La, is a mountain pass in central Nepal’s Damodar Himal, which is situated north of the Annapurna Himal. It is located 5,416 meters above sea level.
