On reaching the hotel, you better freshen up and if possible, have breakfast as well. Till the time you make a pre-trek preparation, we’ll re-check all the arrangements.

A short briefing is all you’ll have before driving to the airport to catch the flight to Nepalgunj. The flight will last 1 hour at most throughout which it takes you high to the Himalayan landscapes and mountains.

After taking down at Nepalgunj Airport, you can either explore the city or rush to your hotel. Stay overnight at Nepalgunj and we’ll head to Uthugaon the later day.

Awakening before dawn in Nepalgunj, you’ll start preparing for your next stop of the trek. Thereupon having breakfast, you’ll board the flight to Jumla at Nepalgunj Airport.

After almost 45 minutes of flight through a breathtaking valley aloft Nepalgunj, you’ll be reaching Jumla. Spending a day at Jumla will give you a fresh start and makes it easy to trek to the lake.

Hence, to make the most of the day, you’ll walk through remote villages of Jumla. On your stop here, you can also seek through the culture and values of local people. Stay the night in a lodge at Jumla.

Get your bag and start walking the trail that heads to Danphe Lagna from Jumla. Here, you’ll take a pathway that walks the main street until you come across a rough trail.

As you start scrambling the trail, it will gently ascend to Sisnamul and pass through a forest. Along the way, you get to notice a scenic view of mountains and a green pasture when reaching Chere.

Scooting from Chere, you’ll gently ascend to Danphe Lagna through grassland and cross the pass. The trail over here has you near still far from the mesmeric Jagdula Himal and Patrasi Himal.

Coming from the beautiful Danphe Lagna, you’ll now begin to descend downhill to Tharamara. The trail here walks through a dense forest to Hiran Duski and sprawls till to Sinja Khola.

Throughout the day, you’ll cross several cantilever bridges as well as walk a wheat field. As you ascend the steep hill, you’ll come to an old-style Tibetan village. Above the village is a stunning valley that climbs down to the Chaura Khola.

Get across the stream and you’ll reach Chautha, a remote village on half-way to Rara Lake. Spend the night at the village and trek to Dhuir the next day.

The trek will be quite strenuous today compared to any other following rocky trails and uphill to walk. Right from the time you start trekking, the trail is rocky narrow which only widens upon reaching Chante.

Just afar the village, you have uphill to climb which leads to Rara Lake National Park at Bhulbhule. They will verify your permit here and have you walk through a route into pastures.

You’re likely to pass a strand of Chortens and cairns atop of Ghurchi Lagna Pass. From the ridge, you’ll be able to view glistening Mugu Karnali river and snow-peaks as well.

After the point, you’ll slowly descend to the junction via Spruce forest and walk along the trail thereafter. Having run out of time, you won’t be able to visit Rara Lake today so instead, rest at Dhuir.

It’s a small village close to the lake that you’ll reach scrambling through pine forests. Stay the night at a lodge in Dhuir.

Finally, here comes the day when you’ll be exploring the spectacular Rara Lake. The trek is short today with you only climbing a steep hill after crossing a stream along the way to Jhyari.

It’s the village with most Thakuri settlements. Leaving the village behind, you’ll continue walking to a meadow via cedar forests that sit atop the ridge.

From here, it’s a short trek to the lake that you’ll be traveling to the northern shore. At the end of the trail, you’ll be gawking at dazzling Rara Lake which is surrounded by lush green forest.

You can bask at the panoramic view of the lake at the shore as long as you want.. But after it’s over, you better return to the tent and spend the night there.

Having traveled so long to arrive at the lake, you deserve to rest for a day. And where could it be better to relax; than the bank of Rara Lake itself.

Hence, on the 7th day of your trek to Rara Lake, you’ll explore mountains sitting atop the lake. You can also search for the unique flora and fauna that’s in excessive numbers in the region.

Abode to rare wild species and birds, Rara Lake can offer you a vision of tons of animals. A few of them that you can notice on your visit here are Musk deer, Himalayan bears, and Red Panda. Sleep well at a tented camp in the spot and prepare to return home tomorrow.

Wake up to the dawn and have your breakfast as it’s 5 hours of trekking today. Far off the western end of the lake, you’ll cross a bridge and start walking a trail.

The walkway will lead you to Majhghatta after following Khatyar Khola. It’s easy to follow the path from here as it climbs downhill to the river and over a log bridge.

Across the bridge, the trail ascends the ridge via pine and spruce forest until reaching Ghurchi Mara. On a clear day, you can easily view snow-covered mountains from here.

Walk down the trail as it enters into the Ghatta Valley and heads towards Gorosingha. Rest the night at a lodge in Gorosingha and return to the trail the later day.

It’s the ninth day of Rara Lake Trek Nepal so you better wake up to the early sunrise of Gorosingha. Have breakfast at the lodge and carry on with the trek following the route that steers to Sinja.

Climbing down the Ghatta Valley and coming after Sinja Khola, you’ll walk through a lush valley. Trek slowly from here and you’ll still reach Sinja Village before time.

On your stay in the village, you can notice the settlements of Brahmin and Chhetri the most here. Overnight stay at a guest house in Sinja.

Time to leave wonderful Sinja and head to Jaljala Chaur. But before going off the village, you can take your time to enjoy the scenery and even have local breakfast.

Getting across the Sinja Khola on a wooden bridge, you’ll begin ascending up till to Dhobi Khola. Along the way, you’ll walk through many classic villages and ample log bridges.

Following that, you’ll hike into and out of a dense forest full of Oaks, Birches, and Pines. On getting through it, you’ll end up at Chala Chaur, a pasture resided by semi nomad. You can also spot horses feeding at the grassland which is also your dwelling for the night.

Seems like you have come almost to the end of trekking to Rara Lake. And yet the strain to pull off Rara Lake Trek doesn’t alleviate.

Today again, you are to climb uphill along the way to the forest and meadow that’s only below the ridge. Proceed to Churi Khola walking the trail and then cross the stream before heading the valley to Chere.

Hike down to Jumla passing through a few remote villages and Sisnamul. Next after winding up the trip at Jumla, you’ll explore the picturesque view of the landscapes here.

For what it looks like an art outside, you’ll go inside and visit the Gompas and Monasteries in Jumla. Too late to continue hiking to Nepalgunj so you’ll stay the night in the lodge at Jumla.

Come back to dig deep through the valley and history of Jumla. But, for now, you better-put stop to the time and instead catch the flight to Nepalgunj.

You’ll be rushing to Jumla airport shortly after having breakfast to fly to Nepalgunj. Your flight to the city will last no more than 45 minutes.

After landing at the airport, you’ll get a short break to have lunch. As soon you’re done having the meal, we’ll fly back to Kathmandu.

Upon taking down in Kathmandu, we’ll drive you to the hotel and even accompany you till to the room. Next, you relax in your room or else take a trip to the city.
