Rara Lake Tour or can be done trekking – Bill Greer, the founder of GORP, once described Rara Lake as “a shimmering blue jewel set in a ring of snowy peaks”.
Renowned as Nepal’s biggest and deepest fresh water lake in the Nepal Himalayas, it falls in the areas of Rara National Park, located in the Jumla and Mugu Districts. In September 2007, the lake was declared a Ramsar site, covering 1,583m (6.11 sq mi) including the surrounding wetlandencircled with pine, spruce and juniper forest.

We commence the trek with flight to Jumla (over an hour flight from Kathmandu) or from nearer Nepalgunj. Following through the mountain paths and some villages we reach the bank of Rara Lake. Although more trampled than in the past, the road to Rara Lake trek is still without any of the comfortable services available along more popular trails. Logistically it is not an easy trek</strong>; it is hard to get to and from, and it is an organizational challenge, requiring informed guides and porters to tote the two weeks’ worth of material that will keep you warm, dry and fed. It is also tough on the bones, involving several 11,000-foot passes. However, once you overcome the obstacles, the rewards are legion: few if any other trekkers, incomparable natural splendor, “untouched” villages, and blissfully quiet surrounding ensuring an eternal peace of mind and soul.
