Rara Lake is one of the best destinations for
trekking in western Nepal. This is the largest
(167 meters deep) lake in Nepal and a main focal
point for a trekkers in western Nepal. It is
situated at an altitude of (2987m) above Karnali
valley which is home of endangered red panda,
common Langur, and rhesus macaque. Rhododendron,
juniper, oak, spruce and Cyprus are the rich
vegetations of this area.
The trek begins from mountain airstrip of Jumla
after flying from Kathmandu via Nepalgunj and
the trail passes through countryside which
provides glimpses of culture and scenery quite
different from that found elsewhere in Nepal
eventually leads to Rara National Park. The
entire route is 'off the beaten track' which
involves crossing of Gurchi Mara pass at [3710m]
on the way to Rara Lake and few ridges at around
(3000m) on the way back. This route comprises
lots of up and down walking through forests and
isolated villages leads to a high altitude lake
surrounded by woods. This trek gives you an
absolutely wilderness experience.
