Itinerary
Itinerary to Everest Base Camp Trek as follows:
High in the heart of the Annapurna massif, beyond the bustling trails of the famous circuit, lies a hidden gem — Tilicho Lake, the world’s one of the highest alpine lakes, perched at a breathtaking 4,919 meters above sea level.
For centuries, this shimmering lake has been a source of mystery and awe, whispered about by local Sherpas and trekkers alike as a sacred place of serenity and power. Surrounded by towering peaks like Annapurna II and Tilicho Peak, the lake’s crystal-clear waters reflect the grandeur of the Himalayas, inviting adventurers to witness nature in its purest form.
The journey to Tilicho Lake is not just a physical challenge but a passage through ancient mountain villages where traditions have endured for generations. As you trek through the peaceful settlements of Manang, Siri Kharka, and Khangsar, you will be welcomed by warm smiles and the timeless hospitality of Himalayan communities deeply connected to their land and heritage.
Every step along the trail reveals stories of monks, nomads, and mountaineers who have revered this sacred landscape, making your trek a profound exploration of both the natural world and human spirit.
The path weaves through fragrant rhododendron forests, rugged cliffs, and snow-dusted passes. Each morning, the sun rises over jagged peaks, painting the sky in hues of gold and pink — a spectacle that stirs the soul and fuels the spirit of adventure.
At Tilicho Lake, the silence is profound, broken only by the gentle ripple of water and the distant call of mountain birds. Here, you can pause, reflect, and feel a deep connection to the earth and sky that few places on this planet can offer.
Our expert Sherpa guides bring generations of knowledge and passion to your journey, ensuring your safety and comfort as you traverse this awe-inspiring landscape. We prioritize responsible trekking, respecting the environment and the local cultures that make this trek so special.
With personalized service, thorough planning, and heartfelt care, we transform your dream trek into a life-changing Himalayan adventure.
