The Rara Lake Heli Tour is one of the greatest ways  to reach and enjoy the mesmerizing scenery of this area. The Rara  Lake is the biggest and deepest fresh water lake among  Nepal’s Himalayas. It is the main feature of Rara National Park, located in Jumla and Mugu Districts.

This Lake lies at an altitude of 2,990 m (9,810 ft) above sea level, has a water surface of 10.8 km2 (4.2 sq mi),  a maximum depth of 167 m (548 ft), is 5.1 km (3.2 mi) long and 2.7 km  (1.7 mi) wide. It drains into the Mugu Karnali River via the Nijar  River.

It is surrounded by Rara National Park. It has unique floral and  fauna importance with rare and vulnerable species. The park was  established in 1976 to preserve the beauty of the lake and protect it  from sedimentation and adverse human activities. The Park flora consists  of 1074 species, of which 16 are endemic to Nepal; the fauna includes  51 species of mammals and 214 species of birds. Our Rara Lake Heli Tour  enables you to experience all of these amazing things throughout your  journey with us.

The lake holds three endemic fish species: Nepalese snow trout and  the Rara snow trout and one endemic frog, Rara Lake frog. Winter visitor  water birds such as gadwall, mallard, northern shoveler, common teal,  tufted duck, common golden eye, common merganser, common coot, and  solitary snipe reside and rest at this lake.

Why visit Rara Lake ?

This Lake has been a popular destination with a very rough route in  Western Nepal for trekkers. So, the best way to visit there would be by  our package Rara Lake Heli Tour. The glimpse of the culture and scenery  on the way is quite different from the rest of Nepal. Situated in high  altitude, you can find the lake surrounded by Rara National Park with  pine, spruce and juniper forest. The view of the snow capped Himalayan  peaks enhances the attraction of trekkers. The trek begins with flight  to Jumla (over an hour flight from Kathmandu) or you can also choose to  fly directly from Pokhara.  If you choose your starting point as Pokhara  then the cost of the tour is slightly cheaper than that from Kathmandu.

Air is the only mode of transportation for the tourists visiting this  Lake. It is served by Talcha Airport, which is 4 km east of the  lake. So, our Rara Lake Heli Tour package is considered one of the most  preferred ways to visit this place.
