Description

Trek to the largest and deepest lake of the nation with the circumference of nearly 13 km, Rara Lake is one of the most popular destinations among domestic tourists. The trek is the best alternative for those who have got the sense of adventure but lack comfortable time to observe Nepal’s wilderness and natural beauty. The largest lake lies in the remote Mugu District in Karnali Province of western Nepal. To promote the tourism the provincial government has declared ‘Rara Visit Year 2018-2019’.
Located at 3200 meters from sea level, Rara is 167 meters deep covering area of 10.8 square kilometers. It is known for the various colors of the water at different times of the day. Situated inside Rara National Park, Rara overlooks a scenic mountainous panorama including Sisne and Kanjirowa Himal. To the north, it stretches up to the Tibetan frontier. The lake is a few days trek from the mountain airport at Jumla, the most usual starting point for Rara Lake trek. Trekkers using the air route should be aware of the pre-bookings because planes are not regular and tickets are not so easily available.
There is an alternative trekking route to Rara from the area of Dolpo to the east and Khaptad National Park to the southwest, while Karnali highway is already in operation making it easy access Rara. Trekking to Nepal’s largest lake, Rara is mainly popular during summer, spring and autumn. Rocky terrain and views of rare mountainous wild animals are primary attractions.
