Mesokanto La Pass (5,120m) is one of the less-traveled yet adventurous high-altitude passes in the Annapurna region. It serves as an alternative route to cross from Tilicho Lake to Jomsom, offering a remote and challenging trekking experience. Due to its difficulty and unpredictable weather, it is ideal for experienced trekkers seeking adventure beyond the classic Annapurna Circuit. Why People Visit Mesokanto La Pass Trekkers choose Mesokanto La for its raw, untouched beauty and the thrill of crossing a high-altitude pass.
