Tilicho Lake

-
Tilicho lake is one of the highest lakes in the world. It is 4,949 m high in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas in Nepal. Another source lists Lake Tilicho as being 4,919 meters high (16,138 feet). Mountain lakes are known to geographers as tarns if they
are caused by glacial activity. Tarns are found mostly in the upper reaches of the Himalaya, above 5,500 metres. Due to the extremely inhospitable surrounding terrain and the difficulties associated with reaching the area, this lake is rarely visited by outsiders.

    परिस्थिती ले मान्छे लाई जहाँ पुर्याए पनि, जिन्दगी को अबिरल यात्रा मा कहिल्यै ठेस नलागोस , बाचुन्जेल नमेटिने गहिरो चोट कहिल्यै नलगोस यो , ठुलो महल को येस्,आराम नभए पनि हृदय को खुशी कहिल्यै न टुटोस सधैं हासो र उमंग लिएर बाचिरहौ । शुभ-बिजय दशमी... २०६७ को हार्दिक मंगलमय शुभकामना !!!

Panch Pokhri

Panch Pokhri (5,494 meters = 18,025 feet) is a group of three sacred lakes in Nepal about 6 kilometers east of Ama Dablam (the mountain). The main lake is at 5,414 meters; the other two lakes are at 5430m and 5494m. Since we're going for the highest lake here, I'll list the height of the uppermost lake (the one to the northeast) for ranking purposes. That makes Panch Pokhri the highest named lake in the world as of August 2003. Panch Pokhri 5494 is about 700 meters long by 400 meters wide. Panch Pokhri 5414 is about 1.6 kilometers long by 500 meters wide, not including that inlet on the southwest shore.

Tsho Rolpa Lake

-
Image
Tsho Rolpa lake is at 4,600 meters (15,092 feet). Tsho Rolpa Lake is formed by a glacial moraine that partially blocks the flow of meltwater from the glacier. Due to global warming, there is more meltwater these days than there used to be. Glacial moraines, "constructed" naturally from rubble and glacial till, don't make very strong dams. The danger is that the moraine dam will burst in a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) and inundate the villages downstream in the valley.
