Overview
Rara lake, also known as the queen of lakes, is the most significant and deepest fresh water lake in Nepal’s Mugu and Jumla districts. This glittery unexplored travel destination at the height of 2,990 m/ 9,807 ft above sea level connects us to the rings of the Himalayas and is protected under Rara National Park.
The Rara lake helicopter ride is a total package of nature, adventure, and thrill. Because of the inadequate means and services, trekking to Rara is not everyone’s cup of tea. Therefore, this colorful beauty is explored and touched by very few. The ride gives you a shrinking view of the city as you fly over to the hills with lush rhododendron forest, scattered settlement areas, and breathtaking mountains towards Rara.
We start our tour from Kathmandu, temples to the mythical heaven on earth, Rara. The breathtaking view of the snow-capped peaks from Rara and the musical environment of flora and fauna up there will take you to tranquility.
