Discover the Hidden Gem of Nepal

Rara Lake, nestled within the Rara National Park, is a testament to Nepal's diverse natural beauty. Often referred to as the "Queen of Lakes," it sits at an elevation of 3062m and spans an area surrounded by pine, spruce, and juniper forests. The lake is the centerpiece of this trek, offering serenity and stunning reflections of the snow-capped peaks that frame it.

The Journey to Rara Lake

The trek begins with a flight to Jumla, located at 2370m, which serves as a gateway to the Karnali region. From Jumla, trekkers embark on a scenic and culturally enriching trail that leads to Rara. The journey is challenging but immensely rewarding, weaving through isolated villages and forests alive with diverse flora and fauna.

Cultural and Natural Highlights

Rara National Park, established in 1975, is not just a sanctuary of biodiversity but also a cultural mosaic. The trek introduces you to the way of life in one of Nepal's most remote regions, where the traditions of local communities remain largely untouched by modernity. The national park's remoteness ensures a peaceful environment, making it ideal for trekkers seeking solitude and connection with nature.
