Rara Lake
Rara, the deepest lake in the Nepalese Himalayas, has an area of 10.8 km2 and is located at a height of 2990 m above sea level. It is one of the most beautiful lakes in Nepal. It drains into the Mugu Karnali River via the Nijar River and is situated in the Jumla and Mugu districts. High PH levels and a freshwater expanse of about 5 and 3 kilometers are characteristics of the water in Rara. It was designated a Ramsar site in 2007 because of its high altitude and proximity to Rara National Park, which has a pine, spruce, and juniper forest.
Rara is developing into the next travel destination on the map as a place to reflect and find peace. There are now significantly more tourists visiting the western Nepali lake of Rara. Every traveler pauses while boating in the crystal-clear waters, going to adjacent hills with unusual views of grand mountains, and taking in the stunning scenery surrounding the lake. Every trekker's enchantment is heightened by the sight of the Himalayan peaks.
September/October and April to May are the best months to visit the lake. It has a very difficult route and is a very well-known destination for trekkers in Western Nepal. The sole means of transportation for visitors to the lake is by air, therefore the adventure starts with a flight from Nepalgunj to Jumla, from which it takes roughly two to three hours to walk to Rara.
