Rara Lake trekking - West-Nepal
|
Rara Lake
lies in the
remote Karnali region, North West of
Kathmandu and the area surrounding the lake
was declared a National Park in 1976. Rara
Lake has the distinction of being the
largest lake in Nepal. The lake is the
obvious focal point of the park where some
well preserved forest and abundance of
wildlife are found in the protected area.
The lake is situated at 2990 meters above
the sea level but within the park area there
is a viewpoint called Chuchemara Peak
(4039m) gives a spectacular view over the
Himalayas on the horizon |
