Hi Trekkers,
Iīm just finished the circuit 10 days before.
If you have 2 extra days - go to Tilicho Lake !!!
There is a Lodge 6-8 hours away from Manang. Take the higher route. The views are the best on the circuit.
On the next day you walk up to the lake. I canīt describe it with words. See it with your own eyes!!!
For the way back you can take the lower route and you can walk direct to Yak Kharka. We walked all the way to Thorung Phedi - 10 hours.
It is an great acclimatisation trip - the pass was really "easy" ;-)
The doc from the HRA in Manang recommended the trip!
