Tilicho Peak
Tilicho peak or tilicho mountain 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 route goes via
Marshyangdi valley route and another route goes via Kaligandaki valley route.
If the teams go through Kaligandaki valley then it is very hard to cross the
Messocanto pass, which is situated at 5300m.altitude From the top part of this
Messokanto pass, the tranquil view of Tilicho lake can be seen.
The base camp is situated near the Tilicho Lake at 4800m
high. It takes only a few days rest for
acclimatization at this base camp. The camp 1 at 5800m 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 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 pea; 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 end of reaching on the top the ridge is little bit difficult
to climb.
