Rara Lake Trekking
Far Himalaya's views are caught with your eyes with Rara Lake Trekking that leads you to one of the world's most beautiful Lake, Rara Lake. The route is 'off the beaten track' and affers glimpses of cultures and scenery very different from the rest of country. Jumla and Rara lie northwest of Kathmandu in the remote area of Karnali.
While enjoying beautiful blue lake between green forests, cold wind may blow your heart beat. The clear, high altitude lake is ringed with pine, spruce and juniper forests, and mirrors snow-capped Himalayan peaks. In summer, rainfall is low and ideal for trekking. In the winter, there is often snow on the ridge surrounding the lake but in the autumn season, trekker is rewarded with a profusion of alpine flowers. Nobody has lived at the lake, except for the army assignated to the park, since the time government resettled the people of Rara and Chapra when the area was declared a national park.
