Tilicho Peak Expedition (7134m/23,406ft) - 33 days
Tilicho peak (7134m/23,406ft) Expedition is one of the more attractive 7000m expeditions in Annapurna region.
Located about 210K west of Kathmandu, this attractive place will capture your
attention and leave your speechless. The Peak was first climbed in 1978 when Mr.
Emanuel Schmutz from a French expedition
reachedthe top of the peak. Mr. Schmutz summited the peak from
the North West shoulder which has now become the normal climbing route by the government of Nepal
and the Department of Tourism. Tilicho Peak is the highest point of the Great
Barrier which links Khangsar Kang (7458m) and Nilgiri North (7061m) together.
Tilicho Peak is a mountain in the Nepalese Himalaya, near Annapurna. The peak
was discovered in 1950 by a team led by Maurice Herzog who was attempting to
find Annapurna I.
Tilicho(7134m/23,406ft) peak climbing expedition is one of the more challenging 7000m climbs. We follow the classic trekking route of Annapurna circuit up to
Manang village and then proceed towards Tilicho Lake to approach the mountain via
Khangsar and Besi Khola, After base camp there
will be II or III high camps established for the summit assault on Tilicho peak. The climb is very straightforward from the base camp to camp I (5800m/19,029ft.). Camp I is situated on a shelf below the Northwest
shoulder just above 45deg mixed rock and ice terrain. Camp II (6100m/20,013ft) is located on the shoulder and accessed via a 50deg and 500m long snowfield. The shoulder itself is also a 50deg 700m snowfield
with low objective hazard and very low exposure
due to a very large width of the shoulder. Climbing Tilicho peak requires fixed ropes as you approachcamp II at 6300m/20,669ft.
The standard
caravan route to reach the Advanced Base Camp of
Tilicho Peak goes through Besishahar via the Marsyangdi Valley. The approach takesaround 8 days and offers excellent
acclimatization. After the Tilicho Peak climb one option to return to Kathmandu
is to hike 4 days via Thorong La pass (5416m/17769ft.) then fly from Jomsom to Pokhara then drive back to Kathmandu.Another option is to go
through the difficult
Mesokanto Pass (5300m) and then fly from Jomsom to Pokhara. Summiters have breathtaking views of the Annapurna massif,
Dhaulagiri, Tilicho Lake, Tibetan plateau and
down to the deepest valley in the world the Kali Gandaki Valley.
The normal
climbing season in Nepal is March – May (spring) and October – November (autumn). However, summer is probably the best time to visit
Tilicho Lake because the weather is considerably warmer and the trail is
easier. The base camp is set up around the height of 4800m/15,748ft. Which is located at the foot of Tilicho Peak. The peak towers 2300m above the shore of the spectacular
Lake Tilicho. This is the
primary water source for the expedition. The climb is very straightforward,
from the base camp you climb to camp I (5800m/19,028ft) located on a
shelf below the Northwest shoulder along on a 45deg mixed rock and ice section
that extends for 600m/1,968ft. The following day
you move along a 50deg/650m snowfield to Camp II (6200m/20,341ft) located on the shoulder. Your third day will be a true summit
push.Satori Climbing Sherpa guide team and climbers climb to Camp I, Camp II
and push for the summit along the Northwest shoulder up a 50-60deg 750-850m
snowfield but very low exposure due to a very wide shoulder.

Why climb with Satori Adventures
How to Choosing a experience Provider
It is important for each climber to choose the right expedition guide service that not only suites their needs, but provides the best safely and secure mountaineering experience possible. There are more than 1,700 trekking companies in Nepal who offer 8,000 meter expeditions including Everest, but only about 30 companies who operate 8,000 meter peaks on a regular basis. We are proud to be one of these 30 companies and consistently offer, run and succeed at these types of expeditions year after year.
It is very important that the climbers who choose Satori Adventures for this trip of a lifetime experience have expectations that are compatible with the program we offer and the style of expedition Satori Adventures runs. We do not want to simply “fill our expedition”, but instead we want to comprise a team of companionable people who are focused on reaching the summit with the highest level of support and safety standards that can be provided by a guiding service on Mt Everest. We team this with the best standards of food and quality equipment to further assist each client reach their full potential. We feel that we offer the best environment and opportunity for you to be successful on the world’s highest mountain.
Diminutive climbing Team members
We are always developing and growing our operational systems to ensure you participate will provide as much as facilities provided. We figure our expedition members do not deserve anything less during the trekking and climbing! In the interests of giving you the most optimal chance to summit, we limit our team size to ensure the group summits on the best weather day; sometimes there are less window days for summit in Everest. In big size of group offering cheap climbs often miss out as they split their groups over several potential summit days. We feel like our climbing members are feeling that they are climbing as a family and friends team even on international people. We accept maximum 08 people in a group and if we have more than that we always split in two groups. So that our base camp staff cooks, climbing Sherpa guide will fully taking care about you and provide service as per your desire.

There is always a 1:1 ratio of the climbing Sherpa/guide and client. We always use professional and experienced climbing Sherpa or guides who have all reached the summit of Everest.
