The trek on Jumla Rara Lake is most popular among the trekking peaks of Nepal. You will get the chance to reach Rara Lake which is Nepal’s largest lake. It is fun to embark on the western region of Nepal that is protected by Rara National Park. On the way, you will be walking through the forests of pine, juniper, and spruce.
