Overview

Tilicho lake is the highest glacier lake situated at an altitude of 4949 m above sea level. Visit to this lake is of 2 days walk from Manang village. This tour combines the side trek to Tilicho lake and day hiking to Ice Lake from Manang (on the acclimatization day) and continues the world famous Annapurna Circuit trek.  Highest point that we cross over during this trek is Thorung-La pass at 5416 m above sea level.

Visit to Muktinath temple is another highlight of this trek, which is the pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists. Vaishnavs believe it to be the god of Mokshya or Mukti (salvation). Saligram (fossil) found in the Kaligandaki river here is believed to be the incarnation of lord Vishnu.

Jomsom is the nearest airstrip to Muktinath. From Jomsom we take flight to Pokhara to relax and boat ride at Phewa Lake. Pokhara is the city of lakes and the gateway to most of the Nepal’s famous trekking routes.

Highly recommended professional service

Me and my partner visited Nepal during May 2020 with Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition. We were very happy with the service, arrangement of vehicle, hotel, inclusion of sightseeing monuments at the same time free time for us to enjoy the beauty. And top of it, it was privately customized at our budget. We definitely recommend Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition to other travelers and we would like to thank Mr. Navaraj for the nice coordination.

We had our high school trip in Nepal on march 2019 and we brought around 25 students between 15 to 17 years old with us. Nepal was one of the most exotic place that we visited in our live. The people of Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition were extremely kind to us and they made us discovered an amazing country rich of culture, peoples and traditions. Also, they were extremely conscientious about the quality of the water of the food that the restaurants served us. All the students and the teachers felt in love with the kindness of Mr.Navaraj and the other guides. several tears flowed at the airport when we left. Thank you for taking care of us, thank you for all the stories, the smiles, the aventures and all the memories you created. One day, We’ll be back in a personal trip and there will be no other choice than Everest Tour Nepal & Expedition

Wonderful time in Nepal..!!!

We traveled to India and Nepal during Feb 2020. During our trip we went to Delhi, Agra & Jaipur in India and Kathmandu valley tour and Nagarkot in Nepal. It was wonderful experience with Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition, we visited lots of monuments, palaces, beautiful stupas and Sunset from Nagarkot hill station. Guide was extremely knowledgeable, very comfortable vehicle, nice hotel arrangement and top of it was very reasonable in price. We also took 1 hour flight to see Mt. Everest, which was also the main highlight of our trip.

We highly recommend this company to other travelers.

Good Service by Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition

Our Nepal tour with Everest Tour Nepal Treks & Expedition was good. Good vehicle, airport staff, guide and hotel. But only one thing we regret was not taking the guide service. Engaging tour guide should be compulsory. A driver/car on its own is of no use.
