 Rara Lake - Nepal


Rara Lake: is one of the major trekking destinations in mid-western part of Nepal and situated in the Rara National Park. The Rara region offers a representative sample of the region's flora and fauna. The rich vegetation of the park is a home to the endangered red panda, muskdeer, Himalayan black bear, leopard, jackal, Himalayan Tahr, wild yellow-throated martin, wild dog, wild boar, common langur, rhesus macaque and common otter. Bordering between Mugu and Jumla districts the Rara is the country's biggest lake, from where the park gets its name. This trek which is pretty strenuous is one that offers cultural sights, natural scenery and wilderness very different from the other parts of Nepal. The lake is as deep as 167 meters at some places, and drains into the River Mugu Karnali via Nijar Khola.
