The twin lakes of Tshophu are two of the many lakes in Bhutan formed by melting glaciers. The lakes, located in Jigme Dorji National Park, at an altitude of 4,430 m ( 14,534 ft), are part of the Jomolhari Loop Trek that many visitors to Bhutan walk. The sharp peak on the right is Jichu Drakye, which is 6,989 m (22,893 ft) high; the middle peak is Jomolhari 2, standing at 6,942 m ( 22,775 ft), and the tip of Jomolhari at 7,134 m (23,996 ft) is just visible to the left.
