Tilicho Lake itself is a marvel to behold, its crystalline waters reflecting the grandeur of the towering peaks above. Nearby, the Gangapurna Glacier lake adds to the surreal beauty of the surroundings.

Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich traditions of the locals and witness their warm hospitality firsthand. The journey to Manang is as exhilarating as the destination itself, with a thrilling drive along the Marshyangdi River, navigating through a rocky and rugged terrain. Along the way, travelers are treated to the sight of numerous waterfalls cascading down the verdant hillsides and the enchanting beauty of pine forests. Overall, a trip to the western part of Nepal promises an unforgettable adventure filled with stunning natural landscapes, cultural encounters, and the thrill of exploration amidst the towering peaks of the Himalayas.

The team was reliable, reasonably priced, and had excellent knowledge of the route. Our guide, Santosh Saru, was friendly and efficient, and special thanks to our driver Yuvraj — a very skilled and responsible driver. Everything was well organized and stress-free. Highly recommended!
