This trek through the remote wilderness of western Nepal offers a superb experience of nature and a visit to Rara lake, the Nepal's Largest lake at 3062 meter.

Beginning the trek from mountain airstrip of Jumla after flying from Kathmandu via Nepalgunj the trail passes through country side which provides glimpses of culture and scenery quite different from that found elsewhere in Nepal, eventually leads to Rara Lake National Park. The region around Jumla and Rara Lake is still relatively unexplored. The area gives a taste of natural wilderness and silence.

The National Park consists of Himalayan black bear, leopard, Black Panther, thar, musk deer, red panda, goral, wild boar, rhesus and languor monkeys and numerous species of birds. This beautiful high altitude lake is surrounded by alpine meadows and forests of pine, juniper and spruce, whilst in the background are the magnificent snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas.

The entire route is 'off the beaten track' which involves crossing of many pass on the way to Rara Lake and few ridges at around 3000 meter on the way back. Any physically fit person can make this moderate trek anytime in March to May and October to early December.
