"As per the measurement of the lake taken by the team, it is located at an altitude of 5,200 meters, which is yet to be officially verified. It is estimated to be 1,500-metre-long and 600-meter-wide," Chame rural municipality Chair Lokendra Ghale was quoted as saying by the report. "The lake would be the world's highest lake if its altitude of 5000-plus meters is officially verified," he said.

The Tilicho lake, situated at an altitude of 4,919 meters, is 4 km long, 1.2 km wide and around 200 meters deep.
