Itinéraire

Le trek du lac Tilicho et du col de Thorong-La, une façon unique de découvrir les incroyables merveilles de la région des Annapurnas. Le lac Tilicho est l'une des destinations les plus populaires du circuit de l'Annapurna. Le lac est niché à 4920 mètres d'altitude et recueille les eaux glaciaires de tout le versant nord de l'Annapurna et du Thorong Peak. C'est l'un des vastes systèmes glaciaires de la grande barrière. Les glaciers se terminent par un mur vertical de glace de 70 mètres de haut qui forme la rive ouest du lac. La crête entre Khangsar Kang (7485m) et Nilgiri North (7061m) est enneigée. L'attraction suivante est le col de Thorong La. Un col de haute montagne d'une altitude de 5 416 mètres (17 769 pieds) dans les tours du Damodar Himal, au nord de l'Annapurna Himal. C'est le point le plus élevé de votre trek.


Le trek du lac Tilicho et du col de Thorong-La vous emmène à travers des villages habités par une grande diversité de personnes, des champs agricoles luxuriants et des vergers de pommiers, la nature sauvage profonde des forêts subtropicales et alpines, des prairies de haute montagne, des falaises et des crêtes, des réseaux de rivières, des lacs, et des cols de haute montagne sur les contreforts de l'Himalaya. Au cours de ce trek, vous découvrirez les merveilles de la région et les compléterez avec les personnes que vous rencontrerez.


Vue d'ensemble :

Le trek du lac Tilicho et du col de Thorong-La commence par un long trajet en voiture de Katmandou à Besisahar. Besisahar est depuis longtemps le point de départ de plusieurs treks du circuit des Annapurnas. Depuis Besisahar, le trekking traverse des fermes en terrasses et offre une vue imprenable sur l'Himalchuli et le Manaslu, qui dominent l'horizon, jusqu'au village de Bahundanda. Ensuite, le long des rives de la puissante rivière Marsyangdi, en suivant une série d'escaliers abrupts pavés de pierre, vous vous dirigez vers Chamje. Continuez ensuite vers Bagarchhap, en suivant la profonde nature sauvage de bambous, de rhododendrons, de pins bleus, d'épicéas, de ciguës, d'érables et de chênes.


De Bagarchhap, en traversant les forêts luxuriantes de pins et de sapins, vous pénétrez dans la magnifique vallée de Manang et atteignez le village de Chame. Ensuite, en suivant les sentiers de la vallée étroite et escarpée, vous vous dirigez vers Upper Pisang. En chemin, vous verrez la paroi rocheuse de Paungda Danda, une spectaculaire paroi rocheuse incurvée qui s'élève à 1500 mètres de la rivière. Vous verrez l'Annapurna II au sud et le Pisang Peak au nord-est.


Camp de base de Tilicho

Traversez ensuite la région en admirant les paysages alpins et les chaînes de montagnes infinies en arrière-plan, et dirigez-vous vers le village animé de Manang. Située dans la large vallée de la rivière Marsyangdi. Après une journée d'acclimatation pour explorer les merveilles de Manang, vous vous dirigez vers le village de Khangsar, niché sur les rives de la rivière Khangsar. Ensuite, suivez les pentes de la chape jusqu'à une vallée latérale en direction du camp de base de Tilicho.


En suivant les falaises aux pentes abruptes et la moraine qui coupe le flanc de la montagne, vous vous dirigez vers le lac Tilicho. Tout au long de cette section, vous aurez une vue imprenable sur les géants de Tilicho, Nilgiri, Khangsar, Muktinath et d'autres sommets sans fin. À Tilicho, imprégnez-vous de l'énergie et détendez-vous sur les rives brunes des eaux turquoise. Le lendemain, vous traversez la végétation alpine et les prairies verdoyantes pour atteindre Yak Kharka, un pâturage alpin de la région. Vous suivrez ensuite les sentiers de la prairie alpine avec des parcelles d'arbustes et de genévriers nains. Le long des montagnes géantes de Gundang, Syagang, Thorung et Khatungkan, vous atteindrez Thorung Phedi. Le dernier village perché sur les contreforts du haut col de Thorong La.


Thorong La

Le lendemain, vous franchissez le col du Thorong La à une altitude de 5416 mètres. C'est le point le plus élevé de votre trek. Depuis le sommet du col, vous aurez une vue imprenable sur les chaînes de l'Annapurna, du Mukut et du Mustang, avec la vallée de la Kali Gandaki en contrebas. En descendant, vous atteindrez l'ancien village de Muktinath.


Muktinath est l'un des lieux de pèlerinage les plus sacrés du Népal, tant pour les hindous que pour les bouddhistes. Muktinath signifie le lieu du Nirvana et abrite le temple de Muktinath. Visitez l'ancien temple et admirez le paysage, les vergers de pommiers verts et les sommets blancs comme neige sur fond de collines brunes et grises. Dirigez-vous ensuite vers Jomsom en suivant la rivière vers le sud, à travers la large vallée aride et balayée par le vent. Jomsom est une ville importante de la région et offre des services de base ou de grande qualité. Le lendemain, prenez un vol pittoresque pour Pokhara. À Pokhara, explorez les attractions des environs et retournez finalement à Katmandou, qui marque la fin du trek du lac Tilicho et du col de Thorong-La.
