With the lake being surrounded by luxuriant green hills, it also makes for a perfect camping spot. Often called the “Queen of Lakes,” the boating experience in Rara Lake is extraordinary, with water so clear that you can see the shadow of your shadow and trout swimming all around you.
Aside from the lake itself, the diversity of over 50 mammals and 230 birds at Rara National Park is a heaven for animal lovers.
