Trip Introduction

Jumla Rara Lake Trek lies in the remote area of Karnali zone in the north-west of Nepal. Jumla Rara Lake Trek is a good destination point for trekking in the west. The trail is very much “off the beaten path” and offers Traditional culture and scenery very different from those in the rest of the country. The centre-point of the park is Lake Rara, the biggest lake in Nepal. After walking along a mountain path and with a series of picturesque villages. Mixing up with the local people with their distinct culture and tradition gives visitors a unique experience. It adds up to make a wonderful holiday.

The lifestyle of the people there gives trekkers a chance to reflect on his/her own modern society and development visa-via the primitive society there. The region is made up of long ridges covered with temperate forests and alpine pastures enclosing high valleys. In Summer rainfall is low but in the winter snow. can be heavy and persistent. Since the region is fairly high and free from monsoon thunderstorms, the summer season is ideal for trekking.

Like most parts of Nepal, Rara National Park is a naturalist’s dreamland. Animals like the gaur, serow, musk deer, yellow-throat martin and a wide variety of birds such as the Implying pheasant, Kalij and dove are can be frequently seen.
