Acclimatization: This itinerary has been designed to prevent Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). The higher you go the lesser oxygen available. For a safe trek it’s essential to allow sufficient time for acclimatization. Sensible planning is therefore required to minimize the risk of AMS. We advise specially to the guest(s) with heart/ lungs/ blood diseases to consult the doctor before trek because some people can be more susceptible than others. Mild headache, fever, loss of appetite, and stomach disorder are symptoms of AMS. Going up too fast may causes serious illness.
NOTE: On adventure trek on this type, weather, local politics, transport or a multitude of other factors beyond our control can result in a change of itinerary, it is however, very unlikely that the itinerary would be substantially altered; if alterations are necessary your guide will decide what is the best alternative consulting with you, taking into consideration the best interests of the whole group. Where a change does occur, we do everything we can to minimize its effect, but we cannot be responsible for the results of changes or delays.
The Annapurna range, named after the Hindu goddess of food and harvests, rise in the heart of the Himalayas. They may not be the tallest, but they form the central core of the great Himalayan arc, towering in the very middle of the 2550KM/1550 mile chain that is the planet’s highest mountain range. And being there, they encapsulate the Himalayas, their ridges and prominences, their slopes and foothills typifying the Himaalyan median. The people of the Annapurnas exemplify that median too, they are our average Himalayan native, their Mongoloid features tinged with Indo-Aryan traits, their religion a mix of Buddhism, Hinduism and animism.
Tilicho Lake (4919m), situated high up in the scenic Manang Valley is the collected glacial melt of the entire northern slopes of Annapurna and Thorong Peak. Tilicho is not a prohibited area but by virtue of its remoteness and altitude, few tourists take off the popular Annapurna Circuit to hike up to the lake which lies within the Annapurna Conservation Area Project (ACAP). Roughly a day and a half walk from Manang Village, visitors are treated to spectacular views of the icy ramparts of Annapurna and Tilicho peak glaciers which plunge down to the lake itself. The shores of this idyllic, crystal-clear lake, dotted with wild flowers in spring, are ideal for camping.
