Rara lies in the remote Karnali region, north west of Kathmandu. The region consists of long ridges covered with temperate forests and alpine pastures enclosing high valleys. Summer rainfall is low but winter snow can be heavy and persistent since the region is fairly high and free from monsoon thunderstorms. The summer season is ideal for trekking. Winter is cold but the autumn season’s trekking is rewarded with a profusion of alpine flowers.
