Trip introduction

“A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable.”

Magnificently gorgeous-looking Rara Lake cuddles up at an altitude of approximately 3000 meters; with an estimated area space of about 11 sq. km. Located inside the Rara National Park, Rara Lake in terms of visual perspective is a very picturesque lake secluded and unblemished from the outside world.

Overview of Rara Short Trek
