The Annapurna undoubtedly
provides some of the world's best trekking routes, including
as it does a greater variety of scenery and culture
than can be found in any other comparable area. The
route via Tilicho Lake and the two passes (Masokanto
La 5099m and Tilicho Pass 5230m) that guard it from
the Kaligandaki Valley beyond is still used and offers
the adventurous and fit trekker high mountain scenery
at its very best. Masokanto La is low altitude pass
than Tilicho but more technical and need to be use rope.
With same timeframe you can also attempt the Tilicho
pass. Trekkers carry only day pack and walk at their
own pace. Average hiking per day will be 6-7 hrs.
