When was the last time you dreamt of having a bird’s eye view of the Himalayan panorama? Or rather, when was that time that you thought of visiting a national park and getting a detailed view of the multiple species – but albeit quite like a hawk? Well, in either case – impossible seems to be the keyword, isn’t it? Time for a flip now! The Rara Lake Heli Tour will help fulfill all your aspirations – and that too on a single flight! 

Resting in the mid-western region of Nepal (officially known as the Karnali region), this freshwater lake is known as the virgin blue lake and is the largest in Nepal. The snow-capped mountains and amazingly beautiful green hills at the backdrop make this place all the more beautiful. 

To all those who are asking – as to what’s the catch about Rara Lake, it’s time for a stopover! This lake is termed as ‘Queen of Lakes’ in the domain of Nepal with a height of 2990 meters – and the Rara National Park perfectly giving the company to this amazing view of the water body. 

Also, coming to describing the beauty of this park, an aerial view of which is part of your helicopter tour – this domain hosts some of the myriad flora and fauna of the world, truly a sight to behold for one’s eyes. Established in 1976, this park hosts more than 1000 species with specified 16 species that are endemic to Nepal. 

The lake itself hosts endemic species –Rara Snow Trout, Nepalese Snow Trout, and Rara Lake Frog. Additionally, this place is known for its winter specialty in the form of –Northern Shoveler, Mallard, Tufted Duck, Solitary Snipe, Common Coot, and Gadwall – a few water birds to name.
