An essential day for Tilicho Lake in Annapurna Circuit Trek
On day six, early in the morning, we left from Manang to Tilicho Lake. We reached Khangsar and had our breakfast. Then we started moving again and arrived at Shri Kharka and had our lunch there. The closer we get, the more visible and transparent the trial and equally seems more daring and challenging. The adventurous test to Tilicho Lake was full of ups and downs. The route was dangerous as some parts of the area were in a landslide zone but protected by an iron wire fence and stone. After walking for several hours reached Tilicho Base Camp. We took it as our day and rested in the base camp. We had our dinner and gathered near the Furnace, and many people were there. Then we went to the lodge and slept as we had our big day tomorrow — overnight in the Tlicho Base Camp.
On the seventh day, we left basecamp at dawn (5 AM), and we were already tired before we reached our destination. There is a place called 21 ghumti, which was the most challenging part of the trekking. On the way, we saw the Mountains very close to our vision. For instance, we were surrounded by mountains. The route was partially covered by snow. Finally, we reached Tilicho Lake, and we were all overwhelmed. The view was such that we were out of words; everyone started shouting joyfully. We took loads of pictures for the memory, and the view was mesmerizing.
In a short period, we left there as it was windy we couldn’t stay there for long. We returned to the base camp tired and joyful that we could reach the Lake. Afterward, we packed our bags and left. We stopped at Shri Kharka for lunch. From Shri Kharka, we moved again and arrived at Yak Kharka that day. That day was the toughest and most memorable- Overnight in Yak Kharka.
On day eight, we had breakfast and moved on from Yak Kharka. We stopped at Fedi for the tea and then for lunch in base camp, at the height of 4925 m. we stayed there for the night. We had to cross suspension bridges and Mountain cliffs to reach basecamp. The trek from Yak Kharka to base camp isn’t fair, but we kept it a short distance due to the high altitude. Everyone was tired, and we slept because we had a huge day to overcome tomorrow — overnight in High Camp.

Mostly awaited day
On day ninth, very early in the morning, before sunrise, we moved from basecamp. Today is our most challenging day. Therefore we prepared ourselves from the beginning. At the height of 5416m, we were walking and crossed Through la Pass. The moment we crossed the Pass, our heart was overwhelmed. Slowly by gathering ourselves, we continued our journey and reached Muktinath. We went to the hotel, kept our luggage, and freshened up. Hene, We visited the temple and took a bath. The water was cold. The Muktinath temple is a holy place with 108 tap water, while it’s believed that taking a shower in that 108 tap water takes away our sins. Afterward, we returned to the hotel and stayed there for the night.
On the tenth day at Muktinath, it was cold though we were already at a lower elevation. In the morning, we had our breakfast and moved from there. We took the bus from Muktinath to Jomsom. For further information, you can also trek this route without taking a bus. There is a small airport in Jomsom which flies to the Pokhara. Then we had lunch in Jomsom and took some rest; After that, we took a bus to Tatopani.
On the way, we were welcomed by the beautiful ancient village of Marfa, the Kaligandaki river, hydro plants, and the excellent views of the mountains. After several hours of drive, we reached Tatopani; we checked in the hotel and went hot spring. The hot spring was excellent at the bank of the Kaligandaki River. We had lunch at the hotel and took a rest for the day. You can directly go to Kathmandu or Pokhara from Tatopani to end Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake Trek, but we do not want to miss Ghorepani.
An optional trek to Ghorepani under Annapurna Circuit with Tilocho Lake Trek
On the eleventh day from Tatopani, we moved to Ghorepani. The hiking trail was excellent, and we had Nepali Dhedo at Durbindada. Then we carried on our trekking; after 6 hours of walking, we reached Ghorepani. We checked into the hotel and took a rest. We had dinner and stayed near the Furnace for a while. Then we went back to our room- Overnight in Ghorepani.
On day noon, we woke up and walked to see the sunrise at Pooh Hill, which is at a distance of 30 minutes of walk. The view of the sunrise was magnificent. We went to the view tower and had a panoramic view of the Mountain range. After seeing the morning, we returned to the hotel, had breakfast, and started walking to Ulleri. From there, we took a microbus to Pokhara, which can also be trekked. And we stayed in Pokhara for the night in the hotel. In the evening time, we went for a walk at the lakeside and enjoyed the nightlife of Pokhara.
On the thirteenth day, Pokhara, which is a sophisticated city, a luxurious hotel, and a massive facility enriched with natural beauty. Furthermore, loads of entertaining things to do, i.e., zip-flying, paragliding, kayaking, sky-diving, and many more. After enjoying the day in Pokhara, we returned to the capital city after the fight and checked into the hotel.
