Itinerary description
Easier hike than Ice Lake, but still tough work. The little zig zag in the middle is the hardest part.
Clear sky days give amazing views of mountain peaks, glaciers and Tilicho lake itself.
In season there is a basic tea shop for a cuppa to warm you up.
Be careful if it is not a super sunny day - be prepared for all 4 seasons in a go.
End of September for us and we got a snow storm!
This is classed as difficult due to steep sections, landslide areas, altitude and the fact you have to be ready for everything!
N.B. I am doing this with my 69 year young mother who is fit, but not altitude nor long trek fit. Your time should be faster. Last time I did this we went up in 2.5 hours and down in 1.5. The average seems to be 3 up and just under 2 down.
