The exceptional Rara Lake Trek will lead you to unexplored regions of Nepal to see the pristine Lake Rara. Located in the Rara National park, the lake is the largest and deepest freshwater lake in Nepal and is simply spectacular. So, come join us on this 15-day adventure!
The trek will take you to the diverse Rara National Park in the Jumla district of Nepal. It was created to preserve the rich ecosystem of the Humala- Jumala region and is home to numerous species of plants, flowers, mammals and birds. You sure will be amazed to find yourself in so abundant a place!
At 2,990 m, Rara Lake is the highest alpine lake in Nepal, making it definitely worth a visit. We’ll begin the journey in the capital city of Kathmandu and after a day of sightseeing, fly to Nepaljung to start the trek.

What people are saying about Explore-Share
Man
Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!
Maxine
Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
