wildlife including the Himalayan bear. This area is one of the least inhabited
trekking routes, which will give you a feel for the natural environment of
Nepal. Length of trip Jumla – Simikot 12 days Average hiking per day 4-5 hrs

Pristine Rara Lake, known as the Queen of Lakes, is the largest lake in Nepal.
Surrounded by juniper and spruce forests of Rara Lake National Park in the
western part of the country, it is a high altitude lake at 9,834 feet (2,980 m).
The trekking route is not heavily traveled, but it passes through a region that
affords cultural interactions and scenery quite different from the rest of
Nepal. You may meet followers of Hinduism as well as immigrant Tibetan families.
Trekking in this area involves a great deal of up-and-down walking through
forests and isolated villages. You remain mostly at lower elevations, reaching a
high elevation of 12,243 feet (3,710 m) at Danfe pass.
You can spend two days at Baridiya National Park, where you can take an
elephant-back safari through the lush jungle. Your accommodations are
well-equipped tents.
