Discover the Breathtaking Beauty of Rara Lake – Nepal’s Largest Freshwater Lake!

Nestled at 2,990m in the remote northwestern region of Nepal, Rara Lake is a true natural wonder, renowned as the largest freshwater lake in the country. Enclosed within the pristine Rara National Park, this untouched paradise is home to rare and endangered species, boasting 1,074 plant species, 51 mammal species, and 214 bird species.

Established in 1976, Rara National Park was created to preserve the lake’s beauty and protect its fragile ecosystem. Once accessible only via a two-week trek, the opening of the Surkhet-Jumla Karnali Highway has made traveling to Rara much easier, offering breathtaking landscapes, rich biodiversity, and a tranquil retreat away from city life.
