Tilicho Lake Trekking
Tilicho Lake is one of those places that has had next to
mythic connotations. Many regard it as the highest lake
in the world. It was for long almost totally closed save
for a few climbers and expeditions, and since 1974, when
Nixon changed the China policy, part of the area above
Thini on the Jomosom side became a totally off-limits
military area. From the Manang side it was rarely if
ever visited.A much sold guide book informed potential
trekkers that the path to Tilicho was a figment of some
ones fantasy and the locals in Manang had little
knowledge of the route too, and were often thought to be
slightly unfriendly as they were known for not being
particularly keen on working as human beasts of burden
for various expeditions that had passed. When asked to
porter they had simply refused! Manang is no ordinary
village. Its people are heavily involved in
international trade, due to passport privileges granted
in the past.
