Tilicho Biking Expedition Tour
Tilicho Lake is the highest lake in the world at
5200m. The lake lies on the north side of the Annapurna Himal, just
below Tilicho Peak(7134m). Reaching it is not easy as the route
rises to the Mesukantu-La pass at 5,300m. But it is an exciting and
beautiful route, and one well suited to mountainbiking for those
with good bike skills..
