Introduction
Nepal, a land of towering peaks and breathtaking landscapes, has always held a special place in the hearts of adventurous souls. My name is Max Shuppert, and I hail from the Netherlands. Recently, I embarked on an extraordinary trekking journey through the Annapurna Circuit, a journey made even more remarkable by choosing to include a detour to the mesmerizing Tilicho Lake. What made this adventure truly unforgettable was the exceptional guidance and support provided by Real Travel Nepal, a trekking agency that goes above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences. In this blog post, I’ll share my incredible journey through the Annapurna Circuit via Tilicho Lake, made possible by Real Travel Nepal.
Choosing Real Travel Nepal
My journey began with the careful selection of a trekking agency in Nepal. After extensive research and glowing recommendations from fellow trekkers, I decided to put my trust in Real Travel Nepal. From the moment I made contact, I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring a safe and memorable trek.
The Classic Annapurna Circuit
My adventure kicked off in the bustling city of Kathmandu, where I was warmly welcomed by the Real Travel Nepal team. They took care of all the logistics, leaving me free to soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. From Kathmandu, we set out to Besisahar, the starting point of the Annapurna Circuit.
The classic Annapurna Circuit, known for its diverse landscapes and rich cultural experiences, was a trekker’s dream come true. Real Travel Nepal’s expert guides led me through lush forests, terraced fields, and charming villages, providing insights into local customs and traditions along the way. The agency’s well-organized itinerary allowed me to fully immerse myself in the culture and natural beauty of Nepal.
The Tilicho Lake Detour: A Hidden Gem
The highlight of my journey was undoubtedly the detour to Tilicho Lake. Departing from the main trail at Manang, the path to Tilicho Lake presented its own set of challenges. However, with the unwavering support of my guide and the Real Travel Nepal team, I felt confident and safe throughout the ascent.
Tilicho Lake, perched high in the Himalayas, was a revelation. Its deep blue waters mirrored the surrounding peaks, creating a serene and surreal atmosphere. Real Travel Nepal had carefully planned the trek, ensuring that I had ample time to soak in the beauty of this remote gem. The sense of solitude and connection with nature at Tilicho Lake was an experience I will cherish forever.
Challenges Met with Expertise
Trekking in the Himalayas comes with its fair share of challenges, from acclimatization to navigating unpredictable weather and high mountain passes. However, with Real Travel Nepal by my side, I felt well-prepared and supported at every step. Their experienced guides provided valuable advice, ensured proper acclimatization, and took all necessary safety precautions.
