Rara Lake, the sapphire of the Himalayas, is fondly known as the Queen among lakes, a shimmering jewel of water. Cradled in the lap of the Himalayas, Rara Lake, altitude 2990m (9,810 ft), is the largest lake in Nepal, with the biggest freshwater lake in Nepal, embraced by a wild paradise hidden in Nepal’s remote frontier in the far-flung Mugu District, tucked away in Karnali’s highlands, set deep within western Nepal. Occupying an expansive area, Rara Lake covers 10.8 km². Nestled like a blue stone in the mountain’s embrace, pine-covered slopes, snow-covered peaks kissed by winter’s breath. A golden crown resting upon the mountains, where Rara Lake rests as a great reflecting pool cradled in forgotten ages.
Set along the tranquil lake held between the glassy arms of the waters of Rara Lake and the panoramic highlands of Murmatop Rara Eco Resort, it is not merely an accommodation but a home for traveling souls, which serves the best accommodation at Rara, turning a journey into the soul of nature. Crafted from local woods and stones and constructed using traditional materials, it merges seamlessly with the landscape, perfectly integrated. Welcoming guests with cozy accommodations surrounded by untouched nature. Here, each dawn reflects on the lake’s surface like art, and each wind is perfumed with pine and wild herbs, and nights are lit by fire and enriched by meals and traditions.
Whether you prefer the lakeside retreat furnished with 17 guest rooms and 20 nature tents close to the lakeside, or choose alternatively the Murma Top wooden cabins at 3,800m overlooking panoramic views of Kanjiruwa, Sisne, Saipal, Api Himal majestic views of the surrounding mountains, the resort calls you to embrace something extraordinary. Nights echo with cultural rhythms and regional cuisine, firelight weaving tales with song and flavor — dishes of Marsi rice, highland barley, nutty buckwheat, tender goat meat, and pure mountain honey. During the day, opportunities for meditation, adventure, and peace. Rara Eco Resort is beyond just a lodge; a path leading into Rara’s hidden essence, a retreat where nature’s elements harmonize, reminding travelers they are part of the place, inked not with pen but with rivers and winds.
Set upon Murma’s heights, eight cozy wooden cottages provide a peaceful retreat where each cottage includes double comfortable beds and a private bathroom. Offering the safe and comfort of a home from the balcony of the mountains, Rara Lake rests quietly beneath, a blue mirror tucked into the earth’s lap, glittering as a diamond, Himalayan emperors guarding their treasure. Murma Top is a land of visions, a destination born of imagination, a resting place of calm for trekkers, where quietness has its own voice, where the soul rises beyond the earth. Both retreats are beyond simple accommodation; they create moments that connect you with Rara’s essence, where land, lake, and horizon unite with spirit.
