Rara Lake - West-Nepal
Rara Lake is the largest lake of Nepal,
situated in Mugu district in the far western region of Nepal, near district-headquarter Gam Ghadi
and Talcha airport and about 3/4 days of walking from Jumla.
(Rara: where the goat (Ram) was burnt (Raa))
The length of the lake is 5 kilometers and it
is 2 kilometers wide. The surface is around 8 square kilometer, the perimeter 9
kilometer, the altitude around 3060 meter and the depth is 167 meter.
Rara is an unique spot in Nepal. The lake is
situated in the Rara National Park and because of its remote location and
the violence/threat of the Maoists the lake has been visited by only few tourist
in the last couple of years. Only in the second half of 2006 the situation
improved and foreign visitors do not need to pay the high fee of around $100 per
person to the Maoists anymore.
There are hardly any facilities for tourists.
Accommodations consists of primitive beds (mostly in very basic dormitories) and
basic meals. You won't find any showers/bathrooms and toilets are scares and
very basic.
