ヒマラヤの湖・トップ20

Once you’ve crossed the glacier you’ll come across Gokyo, a cool town to chill out in which has a stunning lake (not frozen due to depth), if you like cold water swimming this could be for you.

You can't exactly call the place beautiful. But the location on the lake and right at the foot of Gokyo Ri is first class.

If you're in Pokhara, you probably won't be able to avoid taking a walk along the lake - it's really beautiful. Pollution in Nepal can be shocking at times, with trash and packaging lying around. This was the first time I consciously noticed that there were signs and trash cans set up. I think this is important to create greater awareness among both locals and tourists. We were told that not so long ago many things were made of wood and other materials that rot quickly. Therefore, over generations, the Nepalese have become accustomed to simply throwing everything anywhere, believing that it will rot.

Tilicho Lake is located at an altitude of 4,919 meters. Despite not being part of the classic Annapurna circuit, Tilicho Lake is one of the most beautiful places in the entire Annapurna region.

Quite a steep climb, but especially important for someone who wants to better acclimatize to such heights.

Gokyo is a small Nepalese village located at an altitude of 4,750 meters. Its location is fantastic: Gokyo is in fact located on the shores of Tsho Gokyo Lake. From Gokyo you can reach the summit of Gokyo Ri, from where you can admire beautiful views of the Himalayas.

From this point it is possible to appreciate Gokyo in all its beauty. In fact, from here it is possible to admire the small town, the lake and, in the end, the Cho Oyu.

Chola Lake takes its name from the nearby mountain, the famous Cholatse. The turquoise color of the lake is unforgettable: furthermore, the lake is surrounded by historic mountains such as Ama Dablam and, indeed, Cholatse.
