The World's Highest Lake Tilicho Lake nepal



tilicho lake is a lake positioned in the manang district of nepal. it's far situated at an altitude of four,919 metres (16,138 toes) within the annapurna range of the himalayas. another supply lists the altitude of lake tilicho as being 4,949 metres (16,237 ft).

mountain lakes are regarded to geographers as tarns if they're as a result of glacial interest. tarns are discovered usually inside the upper reaches of the himalaya, above 5,500 metres (18,000 toes).

tilicho lake is the destination of one of the maximum popular aspect hikes of the annapurna circuit trek. the hike takes extra three–4 days. no tenting is required, as new inns had been constructed between manang and the lake. final technique to the lake is completed in a day hike from the lodge at tilicho base camp.


Trekkers attempting the Annapurna Circuit route usually cross the watershed between Manang and Kali Gandaki valleys over the 5416 meters high Thorong La pass. The alternate route skirting Tilicho Lake from the north has been gaining popularity. This route is more demanding and requires at least one night of camping. There are no teahouses or lodges past the Tilicho Base Camp lodge some kilometers east of the lake and the next village of Thini Gaon in the Kali Gandaki valley. Most groups spend two nights between these places. There are two passes leading to Thini Gaon and Jomsom; Mesokanto La and Tilicho North pass known also as Tilicho "Tourist pass". These routes via Tilicho Lake are more often closed by snow than the higher Thorong La.



It was also the site of one of the highest ever altitude scuba dives. A Russian diving team consisting of Andrei Andryushin, Denis Bakin and Maxim Gresko conducted a scuba dive in the lake in 2000
