Trip Overview
The Rara Lake Helicopter Tour in Nepal is a fantastic, incredible journey that takes you to one of the country's most significant and least-explored regions. Located through the great 2,990 meters at the place of Jumla and Mugu districts of Karnali Province, Rara Lake is the deepest lake in all of Nepal. Known for its stunning mirror-like reflection of great deep blue waters, the lake is surrounded by spectacular landscapes and green-filled lovely forests. It offers an unparalleled experience for nature hikers and pilgrims. The lake is also situated through the great Rara National Park, the smallest national park in Nepal, which is also home to the great diverse wildlife, including the elusive red panda, Himalayan black bear, and the popular musk deer.
The helicopter tour begins from Kathmandu's domestic airport, giving breathtaking aerial visuals at the Langtang range before landing in Jumla to recharge and refuel. From Jumla, the flight moves unto the great Rara Lake, where travellers are also treated to the tremendous enchanting beauty of the crystal-clear blue water, luscious forests, and snow-tipped peaks, including the famed Dhaulagiri Range and the majestic Mt. Kanjirowa. The surrounding forests are rich with plant species like the famed rhododendron, pine, and tall sky-touching oak. At the same time, the nearby Chuchemara Hill, which is 4,087 meters high, works as the perfect vantage point from which to admire the lake and the great picturesque surroundings.
This helicopter tour offers an excellent opportunity to explore the untouched beauty of the great Rara Lake in a short amount of time. Along with its calm landscapes and vibrant biodiversity, the lake is renowned for the fine Snowtrout fish variety. The quiet villages, steep hillsides, and stunning Himalayan backdrop make this experience a memorable and long-lasting feeling. Whether you seek natural peacefulness, breathtaking scenery, or spiritual well-being, the Rara Lake Helicopter Tour offers an unparalleled adventure through the heart of Nepal's far northwest.
