ヒマラヤの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ20

Good for relaxation and recharging your batteries. It's best to start from here to get to the lake.

A very nice detour from the Annapurna Circuit for optimal acclimatization. If you can reach the lake, the pass is no problem either. Beforehand, I had visited the Ice Lake to acclimatize. I slept like a baby at Thorong La High Camp.

Journey to Tilicho Lake & Annapurna Circuit - A Story with Phuri Sherpa I still remember the cold, silent morning when we left Tilicho Base Camp at 5:00 AM. The stars were singing above us, and only the sound of our boots crunching the frozen trails broke the silence. Slowly, Step by step, we climbed towards Tilicho Lake, one of the highest lakes in the world at 4,919 meters. As the first golden light touched the snowy peaks, we arrived at the lake - calm, frozen and magical. The reflection of the mountains danced on the turquoise water. It felt like standing on the another planet, in the heart of the Annapurna mountains. After enjoying this unforgettable moment, we carefully descended back to Base Camp for a well- deserved lunch, and later continued to Shree Kharka, tired but full of memories. This side trip is not easy - the altitude, the cold, the long hours - but the reward is something words can hardly describe.
