Tilicho Lake is a lake situated in the Manang district of Nepal, at fifty five kilometer area distance from Pokhara. It's located at an altitude of 4,919 metres (16,138 ft) in the Annapurna range of the Himalayas and is also known as the highest lake in the world, although there are other lakes at higher altitude even in Nepal. Another source lists the altitude of Lake Tilicho as being 4,949 metres (16,237 ft).

According to the Nepali Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (2003), no aquatic organism has been recorded within the lake.

Mountain lakes are known to geographers as tarns if they're caused by glacial activity. Tarns are found largely within the higher reaches of Himalayas, above 5,500 metres (18,000 ft).

Tilicho Lake is the destination of one of the most popular side hikes of the Annapurna Circuit trek. The hike takes extra 3–4 days. No tenting is needed, as new lodges are built between Manang and the lake. the final approach to the lake is completed during a day hike from the lodge at Tilicho Base Camp.
