Tilicho Peak is towers at the height of 7,134m. and mountaineers rate is as a technical climb and not so easy. There are two ways to reach up to Base Camp. Tilicho Peak expedition starts up with a drive Khudi followed by several days trekking to the Tilicho Base Camp via Manang and Khansar Village as well as another way is a short mountain flight from Pokhara to the dry and dusty hill town of Jomsom as well as start from Beni Bazaar to Jomsom. From here, the expedition trip proceed east and north to cross the high and very difficult Mesokanto Pass at an altitude of 5300m.

The views on the routes are breath taking; anything that can surpass your imagination. What you see is Tilicho Peak and the azure and peaceful Tilicho Lake below. It is a glacial lake and unfriendly to marine life. People say they often find marine fossils (shells) that probably support the fact that the Himalayas were once beneath the sea. Tilicho Peak Route, we set up the base camp near the lake some of days will be rest celebrating the Puja by Buddhist priest. Tilicho peak stands as a daunting task above the camp which is on a moraine. From the base camp (around 4400m.), we set out for our final goal – Tilicho 7,134m.
