Trip Overview
Rara Lake Trek is one of the most incredible and fascinating treks which lies in the northwest Himalayas range of Kathmandu. If you are looking for the best trek to make your mind & body relaxed, this Rara lake trek is an ideal choice for you.
Rara lake lies in the height of 2,990 meters above the sea level and is surrounded by Rara National Park, which was established in 1976. The Park covers an area of 106 sq. kilometers and 5 kilometers long, two kilometers wide. The Rara Lake Trek includes the clear, high altitude lake of Rara, which mirrors the snow capped Himalayas, black juniper forest and Himalayan cypress. In summer rainfall is low, and ideal for trekking, in the winter there is often snow on the ridge surrounding the lake, in the autumn season trekkers are rewarded with a large amount of alpine flowers. The highest altitude one can go in the Rara Lake Trek is 3,690m, which is the Murma Top.
The Rara Lake Trek is one of the best treks in Nepal to see wildlife: musk deer, leopards, ghorals, tahr, Himalayan black beer, and the rare red panda which all are native. The park is also a bird watcher’s delight, especially during November and April when many species of birds visit during their seasonal migration. The Rara Lake is situated at 2,990m above sea level. Tilicho Lake, which is considered as the highest lake in the world, is also situated in Nepal at 4,919m above sea level.

Trip Reviews
Extraordinary!
Went on the Rara Lake trek with a small group. The trek was absolutely breathtaking, with Bir and Sancha being the most caring guides I could have asked for! Cannot wait to return to Nepal and trek with them again. I would definitely recommend Trekking Team Group to anyone planning their trip to this beautiful country.

Additional Information
This is ADVENTURE travel, and many of the destinations on this site are in remote, underdeveloped areas where unpredictability is the norm. Despite careful planning and organization, our adventure trips can’t be taken for granted like regular trips. Many of the places we visit lack the emergency health and safety services you’re used to in the developed world. Internal flights can be canceled, road transport is often uncomfortable and unreliable, and hotel standards may not match those of the West.
If you’re not prepared for this, you shouldn’t travel with us. The unpredictability also means that our itineraries are statements of intent, not contractual obligations. Factors such as weather, transport difficulties, and political instability might require us to change any itinerary. The trip leader will make any necessary changes after consulting with the group. Such changes are rarely significant, and we always do our best to minimize their impact. However, we cannot be held responsible for changes or delays, regardless of their cause.
