Trek Overview

Himalayan connections present, Rara Phoksundo Lake Trek 2024, is designed to explore the Dolpo region, which is one of the off-the-beaten trails of Far-West Nepal. Rara Phoksundo Lake Trek is new to many trekkers as mainstream trekking companies never focus on this region.

Rara Lake is situated in the Rara National Park, which is spread over an area of 66 sq. miles. Rara National Park is one of the most beautiful and scenic parks in Nepal. The park lies in the Mugu district, which is a mountainous region in the far west of Nepal.

The Rara Lake lies at an altitude of 2,990 m which is the biggest and deepest lake in Nepal also famous by the name, Queen of Lakes among locals. A trek to this natural wonder will take about a week, from Kathmandu, and on your journey, you will witness not only some picturesque views but also many different species of flora and fauna.

Phoksundo Lake, on the other hand, is considered one of the most exotic tourist destinations located in Dolpo, the largest territorial district. The trek from Rara Lake to Phoksundo will take roughly a week.

16 days - Rara Phoksundo Lake Trek is specially designed for people who want to immerse themselves in nature for a whole month out of the hustle and bustle of the city area...

(If you want to customize this Rara Phoksundo Lake Trek to make it shorter or request any additional feature, you can inquire about this package and leave a message at the last step of the form.)
