16 reviewsJumla Rara Lake Trek is the epic; a famous Rara lake lies in Nepal's Mugu district and admits the ecologically serene surroundings of the smallest national park of Nepal. The most significant lake in Nepal, Rara, is the queen lake and a popular trekking destination. The trail follows an off-the-beaten-track with less traffic and dramatically displays snow-capped mountains with views.
It passes through lush green forests such as juniper, oak, cypress, pine, and spruce forests. The entire manifest Rara lake drains into the Nijar Khola and finally arrives in Mugu Karnali. The Rara National Park is small, but it incorporates 2o different species of animals, including the endangered red panda. Furthermore, 214 species of birds and various floras are attractions of the trek. The Rara lake lies at an altitude of 3062 meters from sea level. The turquoise blue, clear, and immense lake gives the serenity unlike anywhere else.
The highest point of the Jumla Rara Lake Trek is the Chuchemara Danda, at 4087 meters. It is a million-mile journey that starts with a flight to Jumla, then trekking into Chala Chaur, Sinja Valley, and Bitan. Finally, the Rara National Park border is accompanied by passage through scenic mountain views, terraced landscapes, and temples. It is heaven for those with a flair for observing the beauty of nature. For better ideas, one should take a further hike to the vintage viewpoint of the Chuchemara Danda. It showcases magnificent views of the blue Rara, surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks.
The return trek follows the route from the lake to make a bit of a circuit. Here is the with its GPS coordinates. It helps to figure out a daily plan for trekking. Generally, it passes through charming villages and forests to Jumla. Moreover, you may also like to extend the journey to the mysterious Dolpo even more towards Upper Mustang, which is much more rewarding.

The Jumla Rara Lake trek requires no acclimatization whatsoever and is a moderate to strenuous hike recommended for everyone with an excellent physique.

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!
I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!
I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.
The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo
Recently I did EBC Trekking with my Girl Friend and this is my forth time to trek in Nepal with Kumar! Kumar is very professional and helpful. He always arranges all the things well before you asking for. Highly recommended for anyone who is first time to visit Nepal and trek!
H.E.T were professional and helpful for my first trekking in Nepal. Friendly and joyful trek. Thank you for every things. Thank you to lead me there at ABC. It was so wonderful and I couldn't forget this experience.
Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.
I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
Kumar has a very kind heart to help me arranging logistics before and during my volunteer work in Kathmandu. He also guided me with my city tour and mountain trekking after my volunteer work. He can always surprised me with brilliant suggestions.
