An easy way for pedestrians to reach the Rara lake is to reach Total. However, before reaching the Jumla headquarters, one can pass through the Sinja Valley from Nagma. Danphelek can be reached by a three-hour drive from Jumla headquarters. There is no drinking water during the arrival of Danphe Lake. You must carry your own water.

Even after reaching Rara, what is Rara Lake like? Curiosity still runs through my mind. There is a large goreto in the middle of Sallaghari. Dry lime spreads on tree branches, as well as hard-to-reach shrubs in the forest. Wild music echoes with the sound of wailing among the trees. After traveling for about 30 minutes, a strange god arrives. That is Rara. Again, Rara's transformation in different ways draws everyone's attention.

What is the best time to go to Rara?what shape is the rara lake,rara lake surrounding


The best time to visit Rara is from September to October and from April to May. It is not suitable at this time as the temperature here is below zero as there is snow up to one meter from December to March. The lake water also looks frozen. However, Nepali people often travel long distances between Dashain and Tihar.
The flight from Talcha to Nepalgunj turns into Rara. As a result the viewer can capture a beautiful view of the lake from the sky. When you look up at the sky, Rara, which looks like a valley, looks blue and black. The beauty of Rara Lake is enhanced by the musk, rhubarb and scarecrow found at Rara Nikunj.
When Sisne and Kanjirova came to live in the Himal Rara, it seemed like there was no word to describe it. . After a three-hour drive west from Rara, you can reach the Sampal Himal from Murmatap.
Rara not only provided relief to the then king Mahendra who reached the Rara Lake of Mugu during the Chait rains in 2020 BS, but also compelled him to write a poem. The kings of the earth are cruel. It is said that a civilization that is supposed to bend and melt somewhere has not yet entered the royal court. At that moment, King Mahendra also came to Rara to bow down, but to show courage.
After arriving at Vikat Mugu Rara on horseback from Kathmandu, Mahendra had a special purpose - to hunt for bundles in Rara National Park. However, when Mahendra landed his horse on the shores of Rara Lake, he fell off his horse and was released under a cedar tree and plunged into the lush waters of Rara Lake. As it happened, Mahendra's plan to hunt for bundles also failed due to the hail. King Mahendra returned to Rara completely melted.
Listening to Rara's statement and looking at the picture, people seem to be confused in Rara! But, the truth is different. Rara is often alone. Among the majestic mountains. Sprinkling water like blue ink, pine and cedar trees standing on the water's edge, are green but empty all around. Once or twice a month, only a handful of visitors return by helicopter, photographing Rara's face clean, beautiful, and clean.
Why are you talking about Switzerland as a tourist destination? It is amazing to see tourists flocking to Lake Nain in the neighboring country of India. But, in front of Rara, the beauty of Naini Lake seems to fade. How beautiful Rara is! However, far fewer tourists visit Rara than Lake Nain, why? The answer is simple and direct. The work of developing the beautiful Vikat Mugu Rara and taking the initiative to attract tourists has not been well done in government.
Mugu, the smallest district in Nepal. Rara National Park is the smallest park in the country. Also, the largest lake in the country is Rara lying in the middle of the park. Of the 867 species of birds in Nepal, 236 species are found in Rara. There are ducks roaming Siberia, especially in India and Tibet. Seeing birds like ducks, jalewa, karyang kurung indulging in water sports, and I also feel like stealing their fun. Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly.
The three species of beautiful fish found in Rara are not endangered in the world. I like to look at fish works in the clear waters of Rara with the naked eye.
The length of the lake is 5 km at 2972   meters above sea level. It is 3.2 km wide, 167 meters deep and 10.8 square kilometers.
Ships to Nepalgunj-Talcha and Nepagunj-Surkhet-Humla help to enjoy Rara. Rara, which looks like a valley, appears blue to dark when viewed from the sky. The beauty of Lake Rara, which looks like a fairy tale by wearing various flowers while from May to September, is enhanced by the musk, rhubarb and scarecrow found in Rara National Park. When Sisne and Kanjirova came to live in the Himal Rara, the words could not explain it. After a three-hour walk west of Rara, you can see a beautiful view of Rara and Saipal Himal, Budhinanda and Badimalika of Murmatap.


Roads to Rara kathmandu to rara lake

The joy of going to Rara from Kaptada is different. The natural beauty of the Badimalika, Budhinananda, Chhededaha, Paduka and Karnali rivers is lost. If you want to use the boat, when you arrive in Rara, you feel like a girl who came to show Doreto on the Khatyad River across Karnali after a fall at Kolti airport.
At that time, in the time of King Mahendra, Rara could only be reached by a two-week journey from Surkhet. However, now it does not take long as air and road services are approaching Rara. For those who want to get in the car, the road to Juleni should be paved and after some time climbing the hill from Gamgadhi, it sounds like you are walking to meet your girlfriend to get to Rara. Similarly, one can reach Mugu lock by plane from Nepalgunj and Surkhet Bank. Also, Rara can be reached after a few hours walking on the lock.

Another popular religious site far to the west is Badimalika, located in Bajura. The main worship took place here the day before Janapurnima. In Badimalika, an exhibition was held in Chaturdashi to make Mul Puja. Pilgrims and tourists from within and outside the region, a ministerial team from the government office in Bajura and local tourists arrived in Badimalika.
According to tradition of formal worship, there are large numbers of pilgrims from neighboring Achham, Doti, Jumla and Kalikat districts, as well as a government service group.
It is still customary to leave the government office on the day the Trash team travels to Badimalika Puja. According to the tradition of giving paddy ears planted in the area from Vaidyanath of Achham to Badimalika, it is customary for the group to travel 15 days in advance.
To reach Badimalika from Bajura, it is customary to stay for three days. Pastor Banubhakta Joshi said pilgrims often came to this region with the same belief.


The religious significance of Badimalika tourism in the Kailashmadai VDC is unique. The devotees claim that the religious glory of Badimalika is enhanced by the belief that the requested gift will be fulfilled. According to Skanda Purana, after his wife Sati Devi jumped into the yajna of Daksha Prajapati, Mahadev fell to the left of Sati Devi on the left hill of Mallagiri while carrying his body on foot. As Malika Devi hails from this area, Badimalika was established as the great Shakti Peeth.
The natural beauty of this region has enhanced the value of Badimalika.

At an altitude of about 4,000 feet [14,000 m], the lush fields and countless flowering plants provide a spectacular display.

Tilicho is the highest lake in the world. It may seem strange to many that the rhythm that can be counted on the next record is in Nepal. However, the lake in the Buddinanda area of ​​Bajura is the second largest in the world.
The value of this site has increased since the pool in the Buddin area is considered to be the second largest in the world, which has been regarded as an important source of religious beauty and natural beauty to date.
There is a large lake in the middle of the rock near the temple of Budhinanda Devi. There are also nine other lakes. The height of the large lake is 4,581 meters above sea level. A formal and detailed study of the length, width, and depth of the lake was not conducted by the government.

There are many beautiful places in Budhinanda like Laurivinayak, Khetibeti, Bar Magne Dando, Gaigoth, Dhauligad, Dhanbhadar and Chhaprepatan.
