Best Time to Trek to Tilicho Lake
The best time for your 10 days trekking journey to Tilicho Lake is considered to be the spring season (March until May) and the autumn season (September until November). Both of these seasons offer pleasant weather if you are planning to trek to the Himalayas in Nepal.
Spring Season
In Nepal, the spring season lasts from March all the way until May. The spring season is one of the best seasons of the year to travel to Nepal and Tilicho Lake. Due to the steady weather, lovely scenery, and moderate temperatures, trekking in this season ensures a comfortable journey.
Trekking during this season also allows you to experience the lush green forest, blossoming rhododendrons on the hills, and the charming atmosphere of nature.
Trekking the Tilicho Lake in the springtime offers breathtaking views of Annapurna II, III, IV, Gangapurna, Pisang Peak, and several other nearby mountains. In addition, the trail's gompas and monasteries, which offer a breathtaking view of the Manang Valley and Himalayan scenery, are stunning in the spring season.
During this season, the temperature ranges from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F) during the day and drops around -5°C to 5°C (23°F to 41°F) at night.
Autumn Season
In Nepal, the fall months are September, October, and November. Additionally, it is the ideal time to travel to Nepal.
This season is ideal for trekking and other adventurous sports because of the lovely climate, steady and reasonable levels of weather and temperature, and clear skies. You can take in the breathtaking views of the Annapurna and Manaslu regions during these months.
During the 10-day trek to Tilicho Lake, the somewhat dry landscapes and breathtaking natural atmosphere are among Nepal's greatest experiences. In addition, you can also enjoy Nepal's well-known celebrations like Dashain and Tihar.
During this season, the temperature ranges from 5°C to 15°C (41°F to 59°F) during the day and drops around -10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F) at night.
Additional Consideration:
Winter (December to February): While the trek is possible with proper preparation, expect extreme cold (days: -5°C to -15°C, nights: -20°C to -30°C), heavy snowfall, and potentially closed passes.
Monsoon (June to August): Heavy rain, landslides, and treacherous trails make trekking during the monsoon unadvisable.
