Trekking Type:
Lodge & Camping trek.
Jumla and Rara lie northwest
of Kathmandu in the remote area of Karnali. The route
is very much 'off the beaten track' and affords glimpses
of cultures and scenery very different from the rest
of Nepal. The clear, high altitude lake is ringed with
pine, spruce and juniper forests, and mirrors snowcapped
Himalayan peaks. In summer rainfall is low, ideal for
trekking. In the winter there is often snow on the ridge
surrounding the lake but the autumn season trekker is
rewarded with a profusion of alpine flowers. Except
for the army assigned to the park, nobody has lived
at the lake since the government resettled the people
of Rara and Chapra when the area was declared a national
park.
If you are looking for
wilderness solitude and can overcome the logistical
complications of the region, this trek is good choice.
