Rara Lake Trek
Rara lake Trek remain untouched from rest of the world, thus is one of Nepal’s hidden treasure. It is one of the major destination of the western Nepal which lies in the Rara National Park. The whole region is remarkably beautiful and thus rewards every trekker who dares to take the challenge of venturing into the unknown and discover the divine lake. The whole trek route remain a little rough because of lack of sufficient physical facilities and this is also one of the reasons that makes it more close to nature. But the challenging itself is an interesting part of the trekking, as you would enjoy exploring your new limits beyond what you have set for yourself. The trail will take you through beautiful forests, sing with birds on your way and get candid to wild animals.
The clear, high altitude lake of Rara, which mirrors the snow capped Himalayas is ringed with blue pine, black juniper forest and Himalayan cypress Lake Rara is a popular serenity pilgrimage for Nepalese.

LIkewise, in the autumn season trekkers are rewarded with a profusion of alpine flowers. Rara Lake trek is five kilometers long and two kilometers wide and is the largest lake in Nepal. The park is also a bird watcher’s delight, especially during November and April when many species of birds visit during their seasonal migration.
