Tilicho Peak Expedition Spring, Tilicho Expeditions

Mount Tilicho peak 7135 m. is a little bit hard to climb than the other mountains having height of the around 7000m. The way to this mountain climbing has two ways up to it's base camp. One way goes via Marsyangid valley route and another way goes via Kaligandaki valley route. If the teams go through Kalikandaki valley then it is very hard to cross the Messocanto pass, which is situated at 5300m'saltitude. From the top of this Messokanto pass, the tranquil view of Tilicho Lake can be seen.

The base camp is located near the Tilicho Lake at 4800meter high. It takes a few days rest for acclimatization at this base camp. The camp 1 at 5795m is located on a long way distance through the ridges of the mountain. It is little bit hard times to reach and climb on the camp 1. From there also the panoramic view of Tilicho Lake down below can be seen.

Camp 2 is located at high of approximately 6200m and the way is more difficult to reach at this point. We should use the fixed rope on the way to reach camp 2. The elevation is about 40 Degree's slope. From camp 2, the way directly goes to the Top of the Tilicho peak; and the climbing is little bit hard with an elevation of 60 degree up towards the top Tilicho peak. Some times there are chances of avalanche, so team should be careful at this time to go ahead climbing. By the end of reaching on the top the ridge is little bit difficult to climb up.
