Tilicho lake is one of the highest lakes in the world.[1] It is 4,949m high in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas in Nepal.[2] Another source lists Lake Tilicho as being 4,919 meters high(16,138 feet).[3]
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.[3] Due to the extremely inhospitable surrounding terrain and the difficulties associated with reaching the area, this lake is rarely visited by outsiders.
