The Trek — Day by Day

Day	Route	Altitude
T-9	Besisahar → Dharapani	1,960 m
T-8	Dharapani → Chame	2,710 m
T-7	Chame → Manang	3,519 m
T-6 / D-2	Manang → Siri Kharka	4,060 m
T-5 / D-1	Siri Kharka → Tilicho Base Camp	4,140 m
D-0	Tilicho Lake — accomplished	4,920 m

Ran right at the edge of monsoon season — June sits outside the two recommended trekking windows (October–November or March–May), a genuinely riskier call for a route climbing to 4,920m. The floral diversity changed noticeably with altitude along the way, and diet needed real attention once past Manang.

Practical Tips

Book domestic flights in and out of the Pokhara/Jomsom corridor ahead of time — daily capacity on these routes is limited.
The safer trekking windows are October–November or March–May; a June attempt (as this one was) sits right at the edge of monsoon risk and needs extra weather-awareness.
Altitude management matters more past Manang (3,519m) — the jump from there to Tilicho Base Camp (4,140m) and the lake itself (4,920m) is where it counts most.
