FAQs

How difficult is this trek and tour?

This is one of the easiest treks in Nepal. There are little to no risks while trekking to this region because we will be traveling by jeep which eliminates the risk of fatigue, injuries, dehydration, and altitude sickness. An option of flight is time-saving and comfortable but you will still have to trek from Talcha to Rara Lake.

What is the accommodation like?

Since we are not heading to the most mountainous part of Nepal the accommodation choices are fairly good as we will not be spending any night in a tea house. Comfortable hotels and lodges are available throughout the trek.

What kind of fitness is required to complete this trek?

People of all ages and all fitness levels can complete this trek comfortably. We will be travelling by jeep throughout the time and will have to walk only after Talcha jeep station where we will park our jeep and hike for about 2 hours to reach Rara Lake.

How is the road condition?

The roadway from Kathmandu to Nagma is comfortable but from the checkpoint of Nagma, the road is bumpy and rough. As we will be traveling in a jeep it is much more comfortable than in a local bus. Taking a flight is a more comfortable and time-saving method of traveling but expensive than the roadways options.
