Kathmandu: Rara Lake Trek with Flights and Meals

Embark on a 12-day trek to Rara Lake, Nepal's largest lake, with flights from Kathmandu. Trek through Rara National Park, stay in local guesthouses, and enjoy the serene beauty of the lake.
Begin your adventure with scenic flights from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj and Jumla, instantly transporting you far from modern city life. From here, the trail winds through the pristine landscapes of Rara National Park, Nepal’s smallest yet most untouched protected area. Walk through pine, spruce, and juniper forests, and breathe in the clean, cool air scented with wild herbs and mountain earth.

This trek is designed for travelers who feel frustrated by crowded trails and overdeveloped routes. Most days, walk in near solitude, occasionally meeting local shepherds and villagers whose lives remain deeply connected to nature. Wildlife sightings are possible, including Himalayan birds and the elusive Red Panda, which inhabits this protected region.

The reward comes when the forest opens to reveal Rara Lake (2,990m)—Nepal’s largest and deepest freshwater lake. Its turquoise waters reflect snow-capped peaks and ever-changing skies, creating a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere. A gentle boat ride on the lake allows you to fully absorb the stillness and scale of this extraordinary place.

Stay in simple lodges and local guesthouses, and experience the warm, genuine hospitality of the Mugu district, where traditions remain strong and tourism is still a rarity. Evenings are quiet, perfect for stargazing, reflection, and reconnecting with nature.

This trek is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and travelers seeking spiritual quiet rather than physical extremes. With moderate walking days, expert local guidance, and full-board meals included, the Rara Lake trek offers a rare chance to experience Nepal as it once was—wild, peaceful, and deeply beautiful.
