Trip Introduction

Annapurna Tilicho Trek is designed for those trekkers who are in good physical shape with good health. Some time if you wish to take many challenges and trek off the beaten trail, then Tilicho Lake Trek to Jomsom valley via alternative Mesokanto Pass would be ideal. Another option for trekkers with limit experienced time would be 16-day Tilicho Base Camp

• Meals
• All menu selected meals will be provided during trekking while only breakfast will be available in Kathmandu. There will also be welcome dinner with typical cuisine and Menu selected farewell dinners. While on trek, we have breakfast and dinner in the same tea-houses/lodges we spend the night and lunch on our way to the next destination. Nepalese, Tibetan, the more common continental and Indian cuisines are common choices in the menu.
• Physical Condition & Experience Requirements
• 16 days Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate for those travelers who can walk up to 6-7 hours (10-15km) a day on an uphill and downhill trail will find this trek fulfilling. It is best that we prepare ourselves for the Everest trek by morning jogging and 1 hours exercising regularly at least a month prior to the start of the trek. Trekking to the Everest Base Camp should be relatively easier for those who have experience walking/trekking in a high altitude environment. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is also important that we consult our doctor. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases should inform Himalayan Glacier before booking the trek.
• Best Time to Travel to Annapurna Tilicho Base Camp Trek
• The best time to trek to the Annapurna Tilicho Base Camp is spring (March to May) and autumn (October to first week of December). The temperature is moderate in these seasons and guarantees amazing panorama views through the trip. Although this trek can be undertaken during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.
