Rara National Park is Nepal's smallest and most scenic national park. Rara National Park covers 106 square km. Much of the park is at an altitude of about 3000 meters forested by conifers. The park was established in 1976 and protects some of the most beautiful alpine and sub-alpine ecosystems of the Himalaya. It is considered one of the finest parks in the world.
The centrepiece is the pristine Lake Rara at 2990m, also known as Mahendra Tal, the biggest lake in Nepal with 10.8 sq.km. It is so huge that the other end of the lake is hard to see. The lake is surrounded by richly forested hills, Chuchemara Danda at 4087m is the best vantagepoint to get stunning views of the lake and the thickly forested hillsides and the snow-capped peaks around it.
Other summits in the park area are Ruma kand (3731m) and Malika Kand (3444m), situated to the north of the lake. Rara comes within the catchment area of the Karnali River, one of the three main river systems of Nepal. A variety of fish, like the snow trout, inhabit the Rara lake.
The habitat supports animals like the red panda, black bear, yellow-throated martin, ghoral, serow and musk deer. There have also been reported sightings of leopard and wolf.
The lake attracts migrant wildfowl like teals, pochards and mallards. Resident birds include the Impeyan(national bird of Nepal, kalij and blood pheasant as well as others like the chukar partridge.
Jumla offers the best scenery on the most north-western side of Nepal. Adding charm to the region, are its generally open-hearted and friendly people. The trek can begin in Jumla (over an hours flight from Kathmandu) or from Nepalgunj.
Rara is a good destination point for trekking in the west. 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.

Nepal Rafting

Rafting is a great way to enjoy your time with family. Do not think you are too old for such stuff or that your child is too young for that. A river trip is different from any other vacations. Where else can you experience the thrill of passing through rapids, paddle waves, play sand volley-ball, relax on your own private sand beach accompanied by sounds of nature, enjoy delicious food cooked for you, and swap stories sitting by the candles on the sand all in the same day? And more over, you can experience all this together with your family!
