Jumla Rara Lake Trekking is located in a remote wilderness of western Nepal, which offers a superb experience of nature and opportunity to visit Rara Lake, Nepal's largest Lake at 3,062m. This adventure trek in Dolpo region starts from the mountain airstrip of Jumla after flying from Kathmandu via Nepalgunj. The trail passes through green countryside which provides unusual glimpses of a culture and scenery quite different from that found elsewhere in Nepal and which eventually culminates to the Rara Lake National Park. This beautiful high altitude lake is surrounded by alpine meadows and forests of pine, juniper and spruce, whilst in the background you can view the magnificent snow- apped peaks of the Himalayas. The entire route is 'off the beaten track' which involves the crossing of Ghurchi Lagna pass at 3450m on the way to Rara Lake and a few ridges at around 3,000 meters when hiking on the way back. Any physically fit person can do this moderate trek anytime in March to May and October to early December.
