Gokyo Lakes
Gokyo Lakes are oligotrophic lakes in Nepal's Sagarmatha National Park, located at an elevation of 4,700–5,000 m (15,400–16,400 ft). They were named after Gokyo Ri peak. These lakes are the world's highest freshwater lake system comprising six main lakes, of which Thonak Lake is the largest. In September 2007, Gokyo and its associated wetlands of 7,770 ha (77.7 km2) have been designated a Ramsar site.
