 Tilicho Lake is one of those places that have had next to mythic connotations. Many regard it as the highest lake in the world 5,200m. It was for long almost totally closed save for a few climbers and expeditions. Many regard it as the highest lake in the world. It was for long almost totally closed save for a few climbers and expeditions since 1974 when Nixon changed the china policy and part of the area above Thini on the Jomsom side became a totally off-limits military area. From the Manang side it was rarely if ever visited. A much sold guide book informed potential trekkers that the path to Tilicho was ‘a figment of some ones fantasy’ and the locals in Manang had little knowledge of the route too and were often thought to be slightly unfriendly as they were known for not being particularly keen on working as human beasts of burden for various expeditions that had passed. When asked to porter they had simply refused Manang is no ordinary village. Its people are heavily involved in international trade due to passport privileges granted in the past.
