Thukpe Dzingbu Pool, 5,563 meters = 18,251 feet, Tibet
Anil Borkar of Bombay, India, told me about Thukpe Dzingbu. Anil reports: "This lake is also known as Gauri Kund and Tukje Tso (Tso means lake in Tibetan). The high altitude keeps the lake frozen even in summer months. This holy lake has very high religious importance in Hindus and Buddhists. This lake is situated near Mt Kailash adjacent to Drolma-la Pass." (I'm calling this one a "pool" because I think it's too small to meet the definition of a lake.)
