Overview And Highlights

Rara Lake is the largest and most beautiful lake in Nepal, rising up to an elevation of 3000m. Due to its remoteness, Rara Lake is still pristine and wild. Rara Lake is being protected as a wetland site visited by hundreds of migratory and resident birds and animals.

 

The lake falls within Rara National Park which features alpine meadows and forests of pine, juniper and spruce. The park is home to Himalayan Black Bear, Leopard, Black Panther, Musk Deer, Red Panda, Wild Boar, Rhesus and Langur Monkeys. You can also reach Rara Lake by taking a flight from Nepalgunj to Jumla and then trekking for a few days.
