Do you want to explore the pristine beauty of western Nepal? Than you must go to Rara trek. The trek can begin in Jumla (over an hours flight from Kathmandu) or from the nearer Nepalgunj. Trekking in Rara Lake offers the best scenery on the north-western most side of Nepal. Within its confines lie the Rara national parks, the smallest park in Nepal, where in turn the country's largest lake, the Rara Lake can be found (10.8 sq. km. at 2,990meters). 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 is its generally open-hearted and friendly people.

Rara is a good destination point for trekking in the western Nepal. 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. Rara National Park is a naturalist's dream. Animals like the gaur, serow, musk deer, yellow-throated martin and a wide variety of birds such as the impeyan pheasant, kalij and dove are ever present.
