Tsho Rolpa lake (27^o51’N, 86^o29’E) is located in the Rolwaling valley of Nepal at an elevation of 4555m (measured at the field). The lake has been developed only in the last 50 years, as the glacier feeding it has begun to melt rapidly. The trakarding glacier above the lake is retreating at a rate of over 20 meters a year due to rising temperatures. During the field visit, it was observed that the maximum temperature at the lake is about 18^oc at sunny time in the month of August, 2010. The lake is 3.23 km long and 0.5 km wide, and 1.76 km² surface area and contained 86 million m³ water. The lake is considered one of the most dangerous glacial lakes in Nepal.
