the cache is in one of the most beautiful areas in the world. You
can fly to the town of Manang and from there it is a 2day walk in
and a 2day walk out, but in this case you have to be extra careful
about high altitude disease, because your elevation gain is much
faster than if you walked from the bottom of the valley, which is
the usual means to get to this place. No metter what sort of
limited transportation options you choose, you will have to pay
2000nrs "conservation fee" to the Nepali government, because this
is a national park, you might also have to pay 1200nrs to the
Maoists, if you meet them(this year especially in the town of
Ghorepani, which is at the bottom of the Mustang valley). From the
cache site itself you can see a beautiful scenery of 6000 and 7000m
mountains all around you, with,of course, the amazing blue
brightness of the lake. Generally it is recomended to spent night
at Tilicho Base Camp and hike up early in the morning (2.5hrs with
light backpacks and good aclimatization, up to 5hrs. with heavy
backpacks and/or poor aclimatization), when the weather conditions
are best, but check with the locals before you go.
The cache itself is a small multivitamin tube placed in a
clear/white plastic bag. The first one, please, take an extra
plastic bag with You, so it is in two. I had two on me, but used
the other one for trash I found around this beautiful place, which
I think is a thing everyone could do. take another plastic bag and
if you see any thrash up there or on your way up, please, do take
it with you and dump it at the base camp, this way the mountains
can stay beautiful for the others.
The signal is very strong at the top, so the GPS is very
accurate, you should not have big problems finding the cache
itself.
Inside: a logpaper, pen, 1 US cent, 2 Czech crowns
GOOD LUCK!
Small note on cache maintenance: Krishna Prasad
