Overview

Jumla Rara Lake Trekking is the most aspiring off beaten trek in Nepal encountering the splendid natural beauty enclosed inside Rara National Park. Isolated mountainous hamlets, extreme wilderness, of sub-tropical woods, untouched and nomadic lifestyle of people are its major attractions. Rara National Park is known as the smallest national park in Nepal. It is located at an altitude of 2990m with the total area of 10.8 square kilometers in Mugu district of western Nepal. This trek can be done throughout the year but the main constraint remains road transportation.

Rara Lake itself is known as the Queen of Lakes. It is the deepest and biggest freshwater lake in Nepal. The trekking route encloses all these specialties that are not found in any other regions of Nepal.
