Jumla-Rara Lake Trekking

Rara the largest lake in Nepal, ensconced within its  national park, lies at an elevation of 2,990 m (9,810 ft), 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 was also declared a Ramsar Site in Sep 2007. It’s a beautiful, calm haven surrounded by forests, and a paradise for bird watchers (214 species of birds). Mugu was a part of the Malla or Khas kingdom of the Karnali River basin, which reigned between the 12th and 14th centuries. Artifacts abound – you may see ancient shrines to the local deity ‘Masta’, wooden effigies of spirits festooned with bells, flowers and cloth, and rock pillars-etched with figures of the sun and the moon. Southern Mugu has rugged ranges forested with ancient blue pine, spruce and cedar, and is inhabited by Hindu Chhetris, Brahmins and Thakuris. The northern reaches of Mugu are less frequented. As with Dolpa (Dolpo) to the east and Humla to the west, it lies in a vast rain-shadow zone. It is arid, less intensively farmed and sparsely populated with people of Tibetan origin. One of the more unusual drivers of the local economy is the medicinally valuable yarchagumba fungus, which grows out of the head of a caterpillar and can be worth over US$3000 per kilogram (about 5-6 times the average annual income of a Nepali).
