Rara Lake Trekking (16 Days Package Trip)

Rara Lake Trekking Rara Lake Trekking

Rara Lake nestles like a sparkling jewel amongst green forested hills at the heart of Nepal\'s second last visited National Park and situated at an altitude of 3460m. Rara Lake is one of the best destinations for trekking in western Nepal .This area is surrounded by Rara National park. It is the largest lake in Nepal. The route is well off the beaten track and affords glimpses of culture and scenery quiet different from other parts of Nepal. The trek offers a dramatic display of clear high altitude lakes mingled with pine, spruce and juniper forests as well as breath taking views  of the snow capped Himalayan peaks.Rara Lake is as deep as 167 meters in some places, and drains into the river Mugu Karnali via Nijar Khola. The Rara National Park is the home of endangered red panda, common langur, and rhesus macaque. Rhododendron, juniper, oak, spruce and Cyprus are the rich vegetations of this area.

Jumla, one of the highest rice- growing areas in Nepal is located on the banks of the Tila Khola at the height of 2370 meters. There are different ways of reaching this remote area of western Nepal, but the faster way is to fly to Jumla. From Jumla to Rara Lake you walk through Juniper forests, villages mostly inhabited by Thakuris and cross some passes of about 3500m altitudes. Rara Lake, the biggest lake of Nepal and snow capped peaks abandoned from people, is for trekkers who love the wilderness. There is still much wildlife around the lake and may be even a chance to see a snow leopard. For returning, there is another route from the western end of the lake.
