Discover two of Nepal’s most extraordinary natural treasures in one unforgettable journey. The Bardia & Rara Lake Tour combines thrilling wildlife encounters in Bardia National Park with the breathtaking serenity of Rara Lake, Nepal’s largest and most beautiful alpine lake. From exciting jeep safaris and jungle adventures to scenic mountain flights and peaceful lakeside exploration, this tour offers the perfect blend of wildlife, culture, nature, and Himalayan landscapes. Ideal for families, couples, photographers, and nature lovers seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience in Nepal.
The Bardia & Rara Lake Tour is a unique nature and adventure journey through Nepal's remote western region. While not a challenging trekking expedition, the tour includes rewarding hikes through pristine forests, traditional villages, rolling hills, and spectacular alpine landscapes.
The journey begins in the subtropical jungles of Bardia National Park, home to rich biodiversity and some of Nepal's most iconic wildlife species. Travelers can explore dense sal forests, river ecosystems, and grasslands while experiencing exciting jungle activities.
The adventure then transitions to the high-altitude wilderness of Rara National Park. Surrounded by pine, spruce, and juniper forests, Rara Lake sits at an elevation of approximately 2,980 meters (9,777 ft), reflecting snow-capped peaks and untouched Himalayan beauty. The hike to Murma Top offers one of the most stunning viewpoints in western Nepal, showcasing panoramic vistas of the lake, forests, and distant mountain ranges.
Throughout the journey, visitors encounter local communities, traditional lifestyles, unique cultural practices, and some of Nepal’s most untouched natural environments. The combination of wildlife, mountain scenery, remote villages, and serene lakeside experiences creates a truly unforgettable adventure.
Unlike traditional trekking routes crowded with visitors, the Bardia & Rara Lake Tour takes you deep into Nepal's hidden gems where nature remains untouched and authentic.
