The full circuit of Rara Lake and the surrounding Rara National Park. 15 days walking from Jumla, around the lake, through the Sinja Valley (capital of the medieval Khasa kingdom), and out via the Khali Lagna pass. Three nights at the lake, full national park immersion.
Why this trek
- Combines Rara Lake with the historical Sinja Valley — Khasa kingdom ruins, royal palace foundations, ancient temples.
- 15 days gives time for a proper lake stay and the cultural side-trips, where the 12-day Jumla-Rara version is more direct.
- Max altitude 3,700 m. Moderate altitude profile.
- National park accommodation: a mix of camping and basic tea houses.
The complete far-west experience for trekkers with time. Rara is the highlight; Sinja is the bonus.
