Tilicho Lake is a lake located in the Manang district of Nepal , 55 kilometres (34 mi) as the crow flies from the city of Pokhara. It is situated at an altitude of 4,919 metres (16,138 ft)in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas and is known as the highest lake for its size in the world, even though there are lakes at higher altitude even in Nepal. Another source lists the altitude of Lake Tilicho as being 4,949 metres (16,237ft).
Tilicho Lake is the destination of one of the most popular side hikes of the Annapurna Circuit trek. The hike takes
additional 3–4 days. No camping is required, as new lodges have been built between Manang and the lake. The final
approach to the lake is done in a day hike from the lodge at Tilicho Base Camp.
