Rara Lake
6 days · Moderate · 6-day trek with the lake circumambulation, Kathmandu round-trip
Nepal's largest lake at 2,990 m, in a quiet far-western park that sees a tiny fraction of Annapurna or Everest traffic. Six days door-to-door from Kathmandu via Nepalgunj and the Talcha STOL flight, with two days at the lake itself — enough for the circumambulation and an optional viewpoint climb. Light trekking compared with the high-Himalayan parks.
