Rara Lake lies in the remoteness of far northwest Nepal. The lake is beautiful and tranquil. The region around Jumla and Rara Lake is still unexplored. Our trek starts from Jumla, the largest upland hill town in west Nepal. Rara is Nepal’s largest lake and lies at an altitude of 2,980 m.
An outstanding snow-capped panorama of Dolpo and Tibetan mountains beautifully overshadows the scene across the deep clear waters of the lake. The National park consists of a Himalayan black bear, leopard, black panther, musk deer, red panda, wild boar, Rhesus and languor monkeys, and numerous species of birds.
The final four days of the trek offer superb views over Mugu, the southern mountains of Humla, and the border ranges of Tibet. The trail takes us through grassy alpine pastures and remote villages, before descending steeply off the second pass to Jumla. From here, we fly back to Kathmandu via Nepalgunj.
