World's Highest Lake Posted Date: Jul 27, 2019

Newly founded world’s highest Kajin Sara Lake. It lies in Annapurna Himalayan range in Nepal.  It is called Singar Lake (Singar Taal) in Nepali. It lies above southwest of Chame (Enroute Annapurna Circuit Trek). So, Singar Lake situated at 5026 meters above sea level and it seems to be broken recorded the world’s highest Tilicho lake 4919m before.


According to Chairman of Chame “Rural Municipality of Manang district” Lokendra Bahadur Ghale, they are trying to find a new trekking trail for sustainable tourism in Nepal. The trail leads possibly onwards to a huge Gurung’s village of Sikles and Mardi Himal. Singar Lake is about 25km far from Chame if you follow the better trail. There is another short trail also but too steep, said “Lokendra Bahadur Ghale.”

Added by Lokendra Bahadur Ghale, there was gone an expedition group from Japan for Lamjung Himal (6931m) about 40 years ago. The expedition group had given the name of the lake “Kajin Sara” which can see on Google map. The meaning of Singar is making up for beauty, by that time lots of shepherd gathering around the lake and do makeup as well as singing and dancing. That is why the lake name was given Singar Taal. If you are willing to trek to Singar Lake then must be prepared with camping equipment. 

Singar Lake offers a scenic mountain views across the valleys and the lake self located the bottom of Lamjung Himal (6931m). You can see magical mountain views across some villages to the north side such a Pisang, Ngawal, Naar, etc.  Local people are trying to fully find out the trail with improving the old one.  It will be connected to another side of Pokhara such a Bhujung, Ghale Gaun, Sikles (Machhapuchhare Model Trek). They are going to further up again on September to clear the trail as far as possible, and complete it for visit Nepal 2020, Chairman Lokendra Bahadur Ghale, added.
