Phoksundo Lake is an alpine fresh water oligotrophic lake in Nepal's Shey Phoksundo National Park at an elevation of Template:Cvt in the Dolpa District. Phoksundo Lake is Template:Cvt in size with a water volume of Template:Cvt and a discharge of Template:Cvt.[2] In 2004, a survey by the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology measured the maximum depth of the lake at Template:Cvt.[3] In 2019, another detailed survey was carried out by the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, which measured the maximum depth of the lake at Template:Cvt.[4]
In September 2007, Phoksundo Lake has been designated a Ramsar site.[5]
On the lake' southern end, the village of Ringmo sits on the 30,000- to 40,000-year-old landslide dam that formed the lake.[6] Past the dam, the waters of the lake plunge over a Template:Cvt tall waterfall.
Religious significance
There are more than 20 Tibetan stupas in the northern belt, and one gompa in the eastern side of the lake, where annual prayers and worship are carried out. Traditional Tibetan culture prevails in upper Dolpo; Buddhism and Masto are prevalent in lower Dolpo, including Ringmo village.[2]
