Highest active geyser field

At approximately 5,100 metres (16,730 feet) above sea level lies the Dagejia Geothermal Field (aka Dagajia or Raka/Raga Geysers or Dagyel Chuja), near the head of the Yarlung Tsangpo River (the world's highest river) in Xigazê Region, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. According to a 2015 report published by the Tibet Bureau of Exploration & Development of Geology and Mineral Resources, the site features around 100 hot springs of which 20 or so are geysers; four of these are considered large geysers, with two erupting up to 18–20 metres (59–66 feet) high.

In total, around 7.5 million litres (2 million gallons) of water are discharged via the springs at Dagyel Chuja each day.

The region, which has recently been designated a nature reserve, hosts an annual festival (usually in September) known as "Gama Rije" where people come to bathe in some of the slightly cooler hot springs, along with food stalls and other ceremonies.

A close contender for this title is the Sol de Mañana geothermal field in Bolivia, situated at 4,800–4,950 m (15,750–16,240 ft) asl, though activity here is minimal is predominantly limited to mudpots and fumaroles (steam vents). Slightly lower, at 4,250–4,300 m (13,940–14,110 ft) asl but far more active, is El Tatio in northern Chile, which with more than 80 active geysers spread across an area of approximately 30 km2 (11.5 sq mi) is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere.
