RaraLake Jumla Trekking



 High and wild in the far west of Nepal, it is a fantastically beautiful place. From the Kaliganga and the frontier with India in the west to the Dhaulagiri Himal in the east, the Tract of Hill country drained by the Karnali River and its tributaries is the wildest, most remote, and least trekked part of Nepal. Lying in the rain-shadow of the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalayas, this area receives far less of the monsoon’s precipitation and is comparatively arid, less intensively farmed, and sparsely populated. Culturally & geographically isolated from the rest of the country, access to this trek is usually gained via Nepaljung by flying with a twin otter plane.
