Crossing Thorong La Was the Hardest and Best Thing I’ve Ever Done
The Annapurna Circuit with Tilicho Lake Trek completely exceeded my expectations. Reaching Tilicho Lake at 4,920 meters was surreal, but crossing Thorong La Pass at 5,416 meters was emotional and unforgettable. It was challenging, especially on pass day, but our guide Pasang Sherpa paced us perfectly and made sure we acclimatized properly in Manang. Sole Encounters Adventures handled every detail smoothly, from permits to teahouse bookings. If you want a real Himalayan adventure that pushes you and rewards you, this is it.
