Getting there

Car

If you are travelling by car, start your journey from the nearest major city, which is Pokhara. Drive north towards the village of Besisahar, which is approximately a 6-8 hour drive. From Besisahar, continue on the dirt road to Jagat, and then to the village of Bahundanda. This road can be bumpy, so ensure your vehicle is suitable for rough terrain. From Bahundanda, follow the trail signs to Manang. The total drive from Pokhara to Manang could take around 10-12 hours depending on road conditions.

Public Transportation

To reach the Tilicho Trail using public transport, take a tourist bus from Pokhara to Besisahar. This journey takes around 6-7 hours and costs approximately NPR 600-800. Once in Besisahar, hire a local jeep or take a shared taxi to Jagat, which will cost around NPR 1500-2000 and take about 1-2 hours. From Jagat, continue your journey on foot or hire a local guide to take you through the trekking paths to Manang. This trek takes about 5-6 days, depending on your pace.

Trekking

Once you are in Manang, you'll need to prepare for the trek to Tilicho Lake via the Tilicho Trail. Start from Manang and follow the trail markers towards Khangsar Village. This part of the trek typically takes about 3-4 hours. From Khangsar, follow the trail leading to Tilicho Base Camp, which usually takes another day of trekking (about 6-8 hours). Ensure you have the necessary trekking permits and gear, and consider hiring a local guide for a safer and more informative experience.
