Jumla Rara Trekking Nepal - 15 Days
Jumla & Rara lie in the remote Karnali region,
north-west of Kathmandu. The region is made-up of long ridges covered with
temperate forests and alpine pastures enclosing high valleys. Summer rainfall
is low, but winter snow can be heavy and persistent. Since the region is fairly
high and free from monsoon thunder-storms, the summer season is ideal for
trekking. Winters are cold, but the autumn seasons trekking is rewarded with a
profusion of alpine flowers.
In the western part of the country, Jumla & Rara lie in
the remote Karnali region, northwest of Kathmandu. The Rara region is made-up
of long ridges covered with temperate forests and alpine pastures enclosing
high valleys. Summer rainfall is low, but winter snow can be heavy and
persistent. Since the region is fairly high and free from monsoon
thunderstorms, the summer season is ideal for trekking. Winters are cold, but the
autumn seasons trekking is rewarded with a profusion of alpine flowers.The
trail is very much "off the beaten path" and affords glimpses of
culture and scenery very different from those in the rest of the country. The
centerpiece of the park is the biggest lake of Nepal.
Along mountain paths and a series of picturesque villages,
one reaches the magnificent banks of Rara Lake. The park includes Trans-
Himalayan valley with high ridges covered with forest and alpine pastures.
Being among the local people with their distinctive culture and traditions
gives the visitor a unique experience and makes for a wonderful holiday. The
primitive people give the trekker a look backward and a chance to reflect on
his own modern society and development.
The great high mountains scenery enchants and fascinate as
always. Like most of Nepal, Rara National Park is a naturalist's dream. Animals
like the gaur, serow, musk deer, yellow-throated martin and a wide variety of
birds such as the impeyan pheasant, Kalij and dove are ever present.
