Why Rara Lake?
Far from the crowds of Pokhara and Everest, Rara Lake sits in Rara National Park, Nepal’s most remote and least-visited protected area. Often called the “Blue Pearl of the Himalayas,” Rara is surrounded by pine forests, alpine meadows, and dramatic peaks. It’s not just a destination — it’s an experience of pure solitude, natural wonder, and spiritual stillness.
