Solar power supplied in Tilicho lake

Manang: Power supply in Tilicho Lake, the lake at the world’s highest altitude, has been managed through solar energy.

Power supply is made there at an altitude of 4,949 meters above sea level through solar energy.

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has supplied power to the lake by installing solar panels of 390 watts.

Chief of Manang Distribution Centre of NEA, Raju Mahato, said the area around Tilicho Lake is electrified with the arrangement of solar panels.

The famous tourist site in the country now has access to power for different facilities, including mobile phone charging and others.

The power from the national grid is supplied to the base camp of the lake at the altitude of 4,250 meters above the sea level. But it takes some three hours to reach the lake from the base camp.
