This is the inventory of glacial lakes in the Nepal Himalaya. The inventory is prepared using Landsat satellite images of 2005/2006 and gives the distribution of glacial lakes at the sub-basin level. It also contains information about three potentially dangerous lakes based on their field investigation, along with the prioritization of critical lakes.

Digital polygon data of Status of Glaciers in Gandaki Basin during 2005 ± 3 (2002-2008) years. This dataset is created using Landsat ETM+ imageries of respective years. The glacier outlines was derived semi-automatically using object-based image classification (OBIC ) method separately for clean ice and debris cover and further editing and validation was done carefully by draping over the high resolution images from Google Earth. The attribute data were assigned to each glacier using 90m resolution SRTM DEM.

This is the first inventory of glacial lakes of Nepal Himalaya. The data is prepared using topographic maps, aerial photographs and satellite images.
