How can you trek in Rara Lake area ?
Rara Lake Trekking can be organize only
camping (Tented Camp). On a camping trek you
will sleep in tents. The staff includes a
guide, cook, Sherpa and sufficient porters
to carry all trekking gear. Even if you have
never camped before, there is no need to
worry that you won’t enjoy the experience.
The tents we provide are roomy, the sleeping
pads/ mattresses are comfortable and
international style food of a high standard
is freshly prepared and served. On all of
our treks a bathroom tent is provided as
well as a dining tent with tables and camp
stools, providing a cozy, comfortable
atmosphere to eat and chat with fellow
trekkers during the evening.
How Camping Trek is
Operated?
In a typical Camping Trek, day starts around
6 a.m. with a cup of hot tea or coffee
followed by a bucked of warm water for their
washing and cleaning. After packing up their
stuff and daypack, the trekkers are
requested to leave their camp and meet at
the dinning table for breakfast. The trek
started around 7.30 - 8 a.m. and the kitchen
staffs go ahead of the group.
Our well trained staff pack all camping
equipment and gears and the porters carry
them to the next camping site. The trekkers
should carry only personal belongings that
they may need for the day like water bottle,
rain gear, camera, etc.
The Trekkers can decide on their own on time
for viewing the beautiful landscape, taking
photographs and resting or making a short
pause. The walk to the lunch spot normally
takes 3 hours. Our cook and assistant serves
hot lunch upon arrival. The afternoon walk
takes about 3 to 4 hours to reach at the
night camp around 4/5 p.m. Tea and snacks
are served while our sherpa pitch the camp.
The dinner is served around 6/7 p.m. in the
dining tent lit with a pressurized lantern
and furnished with table and camping tools.
We provide high quality tents, foam and
mattress, and a simple toilet tent in every
camp for once comfort.
Our well - trained and experienced cook, and
assistant prepare a variety of healthy,
hygienic and clean food which is carried for
the entire trek. Fresh Fruit and vegetable
may taste on the way to trek. |

When is the best season?
The best season for this trek is half of February to
First week of June and September to early December.
Half of February to First week of June: From
the half of February until the first part of June
temperatures are relatively warm, 10° to 15° warmer
than in the fall. Mornings are bright and clear with
the air slowly becoming hazier as the day
progresses. The rhododendron forests in springtime
are spectacular, with color displays that are
"Himalayan" in beauty. June is warm and green with
many fewer people - the sense of solitude is much
greater than other seasons.
September to half of December: September to
early December is an ideal time for the best
mountain views. The days are typically sunny and
clear with moderate temperatures and the evenings
are usually quite cold.
Note: July to
August is the Monsoon period in Nepal. However, it
is possible to do trekking in rain shadow area like
Mustang, Rara, Dolpo, Annapurna circuit, Lantang
valley, Everest base camp and Gokyo valley
respectively. |

Short
Description of Rara Lake Trekking
Trekking
in Rara Lake offers the best scenery on the
north-western most side of Nepal. Within its
confines lie the Rara national park, the smallest
park in Nepal, where in turn the country's largest
lake, the Rara Lake can be found (10.8 sq. km. At
2,990 meters). Considered one of the finest parks in
the world, Rara National Park abounds in coniferous
forest and is the ideal habitat for the musk deer,
Himalayan black bear and other faunae. The Danfe (Impeyan
Pheasant) the national bird of Nepal, flies above
while a variety of fish, the snow trout, inhabit the
Rara lake. Adding charm to the region are its
generally open-hearted and friendly people. The trek
can begin in Jumla (over an hours flight from
Kathmandu) or from the nearer Nepalgunj.
Rara is a good destination point for trekking in the
west. The trail is very much "off the beaten path"
and affords glimpses of culture and scenery very
different from those in the rest of the country. The
centerpiece of the park is the biggest lake of
Nepal. Along mountain paths and a series of
picturesque villages, one reaches the magnificent
banks of Rara lake. The park includes Trans-
Himalayan valley with high ridges covered with
forest and alpine pastures. |
