Tilicho Peak (7,134m \/ 23,400 ft) is an expedition peak in the Annapurna region of north-central Nepal, located immediately above Tilicho Lake (4,919m), one of the highest lakes in the world. The peak lies at approximately 28 degrees 41 minutes north latitude and 83 degrees 51 minutes east longitude, in the Annapurna Conservation Area. Tilicho Peak was first climbed in 1978 by a French expedition led by Emmanuel Schmutz, via the northwest ridge. The mountain is classified as an expedition peak requiring a climbing permit from the Ministry of Tourism.\n\nThe standard route climbs the northwest ridge, with Base Camp at approximately 4,800m near Tilicho Lake. The route establishes three high camps: Camp 1 at 5,500m on the lower northwest ridge, Camp 2 at 6,000m on the upper ridge, and Camp 3 at 6,400m at the base of the summit pyramid. The summit push from Camp 3 involves climbing 40-50 degree snow slopes with some short ice pitches on the upper mountain, with the final section climbing a steep headwall to the summit. The technical difficulty is rated AD on the Alpine grading system, similar to Himlung Himal and Baruntse.\n\nTilicho Peak is one of the most scenically located expedition peaks in Nepal, with Base Camp situated on the shores of Tilicho Lake (4,919m), one of the highest lakes in the world. The lake is surrounded by the grand peaks of the Annapurna range, including Annapurna I (8,091m) to the south and the dramatic Nilgiri North (7,061m) to the west. The summit rewards climbers with views of the entire Annapurna range, Dhaulagiri (8,167m), the Tibetan plateau, and the dramatic Kali Gandaki gorge below.\n\nThe approach follows the classic Annapurna Circuit route from Besisar<\/a> through chama<\/a>, pisang<\/a>y mango<\/a>, then branches west to Khangsar and Tilicho Base Camp near the lake. The region is culturally Tibetan Buddhist Manangi homeland, with traditional villages, ancient gompas, and prayer walls along the trail. The best climbing seasons are spring (April-May) and autumn (October-November), with autumn being more popular for Tilicho due to more stable snow conditions on the upper mountain.<\/p>\n","cost_includes":"All airport pickups and drops in private vehicle\nKathmandu hotel (3 nights, B&B) with welcome and farewell dinners\nDomestic flights where applicable to itinerary\nAll ground transport in private vehicle\nAll necessary permits (TIMS, National Park, Conservation Area, Restricted Area where applicable)\nThree meals daily (BLD) during the trek with tea\/coffee\nTea house or camping accommodation during the trek\nExperienced English-speaking trekking guide and assistant guide for groups of 6+\nPorters (1 per 2 trekkers, 15kg luggage allowance) with full insurance\nSleeping bag, down jacket, and duffel bag (refundable deposit)\nFirst-aid kit, pulse oximeter, and emergency oxygen\nSatellite phone for emergency communications\nAll government and local taxes\nClimbing permit fee (Ministry of Tourism)\nGarbage deposit and liaison officer fee\nClimbing guide (Sherpa, IFMGA-trained)\nHigh-altitude climbing Sherpa (1:2 ratio on summit day)\nClimbing equipment (crampons, ice axe, harness, helmet, ropes, carabiners, jumars, prusiks)\nHigh camp tents and cooking equipment\nOxygen cylinders for emergency (5+ bottles)\nGamow bag for altitude sickness\nSatellite phone for emergency communication\nBase camp services with full kitchen crew and dining tent","cost_excludes":"International airfare to and from Kathmandu\nNepal visa fee (USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days)\nTravel and high-altitude rescue insurance (mandatory)\nPersonal trekking gear and clothing\nHot showers, Wi-Fi, device charging, and alcoholic beverages\nLunch and dinner in Kathmandu\nTips for guide, porter, and driver (recommended 10-15% of trip cost)\nCosts from unforeseen events (weather, flight delays, route changes)","itineraries":[{"title":"Llegada a Katmand\u00fa","content":"\n
