See more se Camp. The 3.9 km long, 1.6 km broad, 4.8 sq km covered area, the volume of 155 x 106 liter approx and 85 m deep lake with fresh water, has its water source mainly from Tilicho Glacier of Tilicho Peak (7135 m), Mesokanto and Idam-phara peaks situated at the left, front and right. Tilicho Glacier is also one of the sources of Marsyangdy River which flows almost all throughout the route of Annapurna Circuit Route. This beautiful pure blue lake surprisingly has no aquatic organisms (mainly due to excessive cold) and very little flora and fauna in and around, such flora as oxygraphis, alpine buttercup, primerose, primulagentine, etc and fauna mainly blue sheep and rarely snow leopard, and some avifauna as Himalayan snow cock, alpine chough, migratory demoiselle crane, are found. There is a tea shop cum lodge near the lake, and some more are being constructed mainly for trekkers and tourist convenience, which mainly remain open during the season, at an altitude of 4990 m.
