I am sick and tired of seeing Tilicho lake portrayed as the highest lake in the world not only in Sajha.com but also in prominent Nepali media. This simply is not true.
Wikipedia (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilicho_lake) puts Tilicho lake's altitude at 4,949 m above sea level.
Guru dongmar lake in northern Sikkim is located at a much higher altitude - 5,148 m above sea level (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurudogmar ).
I doubt even Guru Dongmar is the highest lake in the world.
