Kajin Sara Lake discovered in Nepal gains fame as the highest lake in the world

Kajin Sara lake in Manang district of Nepal which was discovered only recently is all set to become popular as the world's highest lake. Once it happens, the Kajin Sara Lake will replace Tilicho lake, which is also located in Manang, from the number one spot.
According to the news reports, the lake is as high as 5,200 m at Singarkharka in Chame Rural Municipality of Manang, but it was found only a few months back by a group of mountaineers. The lake is believed to be 1500 m in length, and 600 m in width. Once the attitude of this lake gets verified, it will find its place as the world’s highest lake.


Known as Singar by the local people, the lake is believed to have formed out of a glacier that melted from the Himalayas. It is accessible by a trek from Manang district headquarters in Chame, which takes about 18 hours. The lake is located 24 km from Chame.
The ideal time to visit the lake is between July and November. To the east of the lake lies Mt Manaslu, to its west lies Mt Damodar, to its south lies Mt Lamjung and Mt Annapurna, and to its north lies Mt Peri in Tibet.

Tilicho Lake is located at an altitude of 4919 m. It is 4 km long and 1.2 km wide. The depth of the lake is 200 m. The local municipal authorities believe that once Kajin Sara Lake beats Tilicho Lake as the world’s highest lake, it will help in boosting tourist arrivals in the district and thus help generate more revenue.
