Rara
Lake lies in the remote far northwest of Nepal. Surrounded
by verdant alpine meadows and steep densely forested ridges
abundant with wildlife. The lake is stunningly beautiful,
with unbelievably tranquility, a paradise untouched. The region
around Jumla and Rara Lake is still relatively unexplored.
The
area gives a taste of natural wilderness and silence. Our
trek starts from Jumla, the largest upland hill town in the
west Nepal. Climbing gradually through forests of mixed oak,
conifer, pine, broad-leafed chestnut, white birch and rhododendron.
We cross the lush alpine meadows with herds of sheep and goat
herders. Rara is Nepal's largest lake and lies at an altitude
of 3050 meters. An outstanding snowcapped panorama of Dolpo
and Tibetan mountains overshadows the scene across the deep
clear waters of the lake. The National park consists of Himalayan
black bear, leopard, Black Panther, thar, musk deer, red panda,
goral, wild boar, rhesus and languor monkeys and numerous
species of birds. The final four days of the trek offers superb
views over Mugu, the southern mountains of Humla and the border
ranges of Tibet, the trail takes us through grassy alpine
pastures and remote villages, before descending steeply off
the second pass to Jumla. From here we fly back to Kathmandu
via Nepalgunj.
