 |
| Trip Overview |
Rara lake is the largest lake of Nepal, situated in far western region. The length of the lake is 5 kilometers, width almost 2 kilometers and depth is 167 meter. Rara is a unique spot in Nepal. Within its confines the Rara national park which is considered to be the finest park in the world. The lake is the obvious focal point of the park where some well preserved forest and abundance of wildlife are found in the protected area. The lake is situated at 2990 meters above the sea level but within the park area there is a viewpoint called Chuchemara Peak (4039m) gives a spectacular view of Kanjirowa, Api and Saipal over the Himalayas on the horizon.
Rara is a good destination point for trekking in the west. It is the best trekking route to experience the most remote version of Nepal as well as unique cultural experience. The trail is very much "off the beaten path" and affords glimpses of culture and scenery very different from those in the rest of the country. Along mountain paths and a series of picturesque villages, one reaches the magnificent banks of Rara lake. The park includes Trans- Himalayan valley with high ridges covered with forest and alpine pastures. The animals are found in the RARA National parks, the ideal habitat musk deer, Himalayan black bear and other faunae. The Danfe (Impean Pheasant) the national bird of Nepal flies above while a variety of fish, the snow trout and possibly seen Siberian birds too. Adding charm to the region is its generally open-hearted and friendly people.
As this trek can be organized both tea house and trekking but we offer mostly the camping treks For the tea house treks the accommodations consist of primitive beds (mostly in very basic dormitories) and basic meals. You won't find any showers/bathrooms and toilets are scares and very basic. The walk begin from Jumla after half an hour flight from Nepalgunj.
