The best time to visit Rara

The best time to visit Rara is from March to June when the summer offers a clear blue sky and sunny days. At this time Nepal’s national flower, Rhododendron, lightens the lake with lush red color, while the lake beautifies itself with the crystal blue shades.

Moreover, another best schedule to visit this lake could be from September through November. The weather in these months is neither too hot nor too cold. Actually, these months are better because the monsoon is gone and the winter is yet to arrive. Besides, it is also a favorable time for trekking, taking a bus or jeep rides, and flying.

Unfortunately, monsoon (June to August) and winter (December to February) seasons are not supposed to be an ideal time to visit this lake. Heavy rain during monsoon makes bus routes difficult and vulnerable to landslides. Also, snowfall in winter makes the temperature quite cold and blocks the trail to the lake. However, it does not mean that traveling to Rara during winter and monsoon is impossible. In crux, flying from Nepalgunj to Talcha airport is highly recommended during monsoon.

How to Get to Rara Lake?

There is no direct flight from Kathmandu to Rara Lake; instead, you must fly to Nepalgunj and then to 

Jumla or Talcha from Nepalgunj.

PLANE TRAVEL:  

(Flights range from $150 to $200.)

1. Nepalgunj (60 minutes) from Kathmandu or Pokhara

2. Nepalgunj to Talcha [35 minutes] (closest airport to Gamghadi, where the five-hour journey to the lake begins)

3. It takes around 35 minutes to walk from Nepalgunj to Jumla (a four-day walk to Rara Lake).

TO RARA BY BUS : (Bus tickets vary based on where to and how many buses you will need)

1. NEPALGUNJ to Kathmandu: $12 USD [Around 8-10 hours]

2. POKHARA to NEPALGUNJ: The journey takes between 15 and 18 hours.) - 12 dollars

3. NEPALGUNJ to GAMGHADI: (no buses available; best bet is to fly; but, if you ask around upon arriving, you might be able to get a shared jeep)

4. NEPALGUNJ to JUMLA (may be done in a shared jeep for 2000 NPR/18 USD and takes 9-12 hours)

Buses run, although fares and services are unknown; inquiries can be made at the Nepalgunj Airport.

Instead of flying, Jeeps are frequently chartered from Nepalgunj to drive the rest of the way.

How long does it take to walk to Rara Lake?

The trek to Rara Lake might take four days to more than two weeks. While the walk is not particularly long, travelling to and from the starting and conclusion places can be time-consuming.

Is it necessary for me to hire a guide to visit Rara Lake?

No. There are guides available for those who want them; you may hire a guide who will start from Jumla, or you can discover several firms who will put together your schedule from Kathmandu and take care of all the flight arrangements.

Is the hike to Rara Lake challenging?

The Rara Lake Trek is not challenging or lengthy, and it is suitable for trekkers of all levels. It does, however, necessitate a basic level of fitness. This is an attractive option if you have no previous trekking experience. There are many other trails to challenge yourself and enhance the experience for those who want more of a challenge and have the time.

Is there a good time to visit Rara Lake?

1. September and October: The cool, breezy temperature and lovely misty views are ideal for these Spring months. At the end of October and the start of November, It is warm & the weather is pleasant. 2. April and May: These are the summer months, when the weather is clear and sunny, making trekking more predictable.

March is also an excellent time to visit, as the weather will be mild, and the Himalayan views reflected in the lake will be beautiful during any of these three summer months. If you arrive during the rhododendron season, you'll be especially luckier.

What are the food and accommodation like in Rara?

Although the villages specified on the route, there are few tourist amenities will have tea houses with very modest rooms and meals - dal that is always a good bet; the hotels near the lake offer some excellent fries and masala chai. Showers and restrooms are in short supply, so plan appropriately.

What are the flora and fauna like here?

There are possibly 20 animal species and 214 bird species to observe, including the common Danfe pheasant, Nepal's national bird, and over 500 flower and herb species. Lake Rara is home to otters, fish, and ducks. The clouded leopard, ghoral, rare red panda, serow, musk deer, and Himalayan black bears may all be found in the National Park's blue pine, oak and cypress, black juniper, and rhododendron woodland. It's also home to over 200 different bird and butterfly species. During the winter months, migratory birds from all over the world may be seen, while during the summer months, Himalayan flowers surround the lake, creating a vivid environment.

Why Rara Lake is the best popular as a queen of opera?.

Destination Rara Lake is just a Nepal’s wonder – wonderful hike situated in the Mugu district, the western part of Nepal. Mysterious rara is the biggest lake in the country and a beautiful lake like a queen of lakes. A trek to this natural wonder takes about a week, from Jumla Bazaar. On your journey, you will witness not only some picturesque views but also many different species of flora and fauna.

Jumla to Rara Lake trek itinerary prepared to focus on those beginner trekkers who have little time on their visit to Nepal. The trail takes you through a fascinating traditional mixed ethnic group and their villages who will greet you with warm hospitality.

Trek at Rara lake is a wilderness nature exploration in Nepal most frequented by Nepali local tourists. Rara Lake also known as Mahendra Lake and Murma is a viewpoint often overcrowded during the high season.

Air transportation is solid but stuck at the Jumla Airport terminal for 1 to several days because of occasional flights. The far western part of Nepal is diverse in landscape including flat land with the high Himalayas. Hike Rara is an unquestionable requirement to hike place in Nepal.

The Rara lake connects travelers with a local tour guide in Nepal. The best time to visit Rara Lake with a Guide is either in Spring (March to May) or Autumn (October to December) at this time the weather is very clear with a blue sky and the sun shining. Sightseers can discern the pristine Himalayas and beautiful landscapes together at the same time. 

What are the best and possible activities for tourists while on Rara hikes?

The 2-3 full days staying at Rara lake is just sufficient. Drifting almost half a day including lining up (1 hour one way + return 1-hour walk 1 way), cycling around, and horse riding to see the whole of Rara lake. In the scene, you have to move to Murma top which is 5 km rough and goes for 3 hours hiking or pony riding one way. We purpose you climb riding horse as you won’t get drained when you reach there and return crisp later. It cost around Nepali rupees (Nrs) 1800-2200 for 1 way pony riding.

You should walk when you return as it is annoying and hazardous riding a horse soaks downhill. Watching the whole Rara lake from Rara hilltop is entrancing as should be obvious just nature and no man-made structures. Moreover, there is no hydroelectricity supply, so Sun oriented power introduced in lodgings permits versatile charging and lights.

How to reach Rara lake Quickest?

Talcha plane terminal is another particularly problematic air terminal for landing and taking off in view of its exceptional geographical territory. It’s close to nothing (clearly for STOL) a bit of inclination detests Lukla. As a result of the closeness of the mountain nose at the north side of the runway, the plane should turn legitimately when it takes off and ought to arrive the same way (Can’t go straightforwardly to the runway from far away).

Likewise, from Jumla airport you may either take a bus or jeep to reach Gamgadhi, the district headquarters of Mugu. And from there it is about five hour hike to the lake. It is also possible to trek from Jumla to Rara lake but allow 3-5 days of hikes.

However, the easiest way to travel to Rara lake is to take a domestic flight from Kathmandu to Nepalganj and take another domestic flight from Nepalganj to Tancha (Mugu) airport and walk all the way to Rara Lake.

The water of a Lake is crystal clear, and it gives a mirror effect. While boating in a Lake, you can see pictures of the hills and screens as if it is a mirror. It is also said that this Lake is the source of the meaning of life. As you reach a higher altitude, the coldness and purity make you realize you’re breathing.

Rara tour is a wonderful and lovely trekking destination that offers a few of the significant breathtaking sights you’ll ever imagine.

My wife & I have just completed the Journey of a Lifetime 16 day 15 night Trip as organised by Express to Russia. We also had a tour of St Petersburg & Moscow as well. The planning & execution of both trips was well above our expectations. The guides we had in all of our destinations were exceptional & the meet & greet & return to the stations went as smooth as clockwork. We had one minor hitch but that was through no fault of Express to Russia..a quick email from our Ipad had the problem resolved immediately We did have some misgivings at the start about doing the booking online ourselves but Elena was wonderful & answered all of our questions promptly & to our satisfaction. We felt comfortable with the whole process.The train trip is wonderful with Mongolia being a "special " place for us! We highly recommend Elena & her company. I am happy to answer any questions any body may wish to ask.

Thank you so very much for organizing our trip. Everything went wonderfully, and we really enjoyed our time in Russia. Moscow was beautiful, Lake Baikal was very cold, yet very fun to swim in, and the DPR Koreans that I met and made friends with in Vladivostok was beyond priceless. The guides you got for us did an exceptional job, and the drivers helped us out a lot as well. The hotels you got for us were great, and the room you got for us in the Vladivostok really made the long stay comfortable. The trains were also very enjoyable as was the Russian hospitality, although we really weren´t expecting people to be so generous or helpful. Overall, the trip was wonderful, and you arranged it magnificently. You really went out of your way to accommodate my schedule and help me with my schoolwork, so I really appreciate it; I couldn´t have done it without you. So once again, thank you for all of your efforts, and hopefully in the future you will be able to help us out again. Take care, and thank you for everything.

The length of the route is 9259 km or 5753 miles. The train travels through 7 time zones and takes 8 days to complete without making overnight stops.

From Ulan-Ude the tracks go south towards Mongolia, crossing the great Gobi Desert and finally ending up in Beijing. This route is a mere 7867 kilometers long (Moscow - Beijing).

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

Where does the trans-siberian railway start and where does it end.

The Trans-Siberian Railway starts in Moscow and extends all the way to Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean. This route connects the European part of Russia, the Ural region, Siberia and the Russian Far East.

Are Beijing and Ulan Bator stops along the Trans-Siberian railway?

Beijing and Ulan Bator are parts of Trans-Mongolian railway - an offshoot of the main Trans-Siberian Railway. There are many options to arrange your travel: to visit Ulan Bator and or follow the Trans-Siberian railway to or from Vladivostok. 

Can I use the hop-on hop-off principle when traveling by Trans-Siberian train?

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Train tickets in Russia are not open, so you will need a separate ticket with a particular date for each leg of your trip - for example, you may go all the way from Moscow to Vladivostok, but you will only be able to leave the train for short stops at the railway stations. In case if you would like to explore different cities on the way, you will need separate tickets, for example Moscow – Yekaterinburg, Yekaterinburg – Irkutsk, Irkutsk - Vladivostok. We offer carefully planned private tours that will allow you to visit several cities on your way.

Are there showers aboard Trans-Siberian trains?

Most of the Trans-Siberian trains do not have showers, and there are two WCs per each carriage. Please consider it while planning your trip. We recommend to choose shorter distances (that is, to plan more overnight stops in the cities along the way) to avoid the inconvenience of not showering. Another option is to choose the trip on board a more luxurious train which has all the on-board amenities that one might need.

Are meals included on the board of Trans-Siberian express train?

When traveling with RZD regular trains meals are not included. You can easily buy your meals in the restaurant car.  Another option is to buy local specialties from “babushkas” (grandmothers, or simply Russian old ladies) on the short train stops along the way. This is a very authentic way of getting your meals.

What is the most comfortable way to travel on the Trans-Siberian railroad?

There are luxurious trains on the Trans-Siberian railway that are quite different from regular RZD trains and can be described as 5* hotels on wheels. We offer this type of accommodation on the Imperial Russia train where you can enjoy a full board menu, a shower and a comfortable compartment.
