Tsho Rolpa, Glacial lake in Dolakha District, Nepal
The Tsho Rolpa lake extends over 1.65 square kilometers at an elevation of 4580 meters within the Rolwaling Valley, surrounded by mountains of Nepal.
The lake expanded from 0.23 square kilometers in 1963 to its current size due to continuous glacial melting in the Himalayan mountain range.
The name combines Sherpa language elements, with Tsho meaning lake and Rolpa referring to the Rolwaling valley where Tamang and Sherpa communities reside.
Travelers reach the lake through a multi-day trek starting from Kathmandu, following paths through Dhulikhel and multiple villages in the Gaurishankar Conservation Area.
The water body reaches depths of 135 meters and changes color throughout different times, leading local inhabitants to name it Chhuygima Pokhari.
