This pristine lake is surrounded by alpine flora and fauna, including Blue Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Hemlock, Artemisia, Paris Polyphilla, Cordyseps, Pine, and fir trees. Wildlife enthusiasts can spot Musk deer, Indian leopards, red pandas, snow leopards, yellow-throated martens, Himalayan black bears, dholes, gray langurs, rhesus macaques, Himalayan monals, kalij pheasants, and Himalayan snow cocks in the Rara National Park area. Moving forward, the trek takes you to Dolpo, a land of natural beauty, diverse flora and fauna, and awe-inspiring landscapes within the Shey-Phoksundo National Park. Here, you’ll encounter the enchanting Phoksundo Lake with its ethereal beauty.
Dolpo Region, discovered by a Tibetan Rimpoche during his spiritual quest in the 17th century, remains an untouched and wild wilderness, waiting to be explored. Additionally, the spectacular Jomsom, located at 2800 meters and serving as the headquarters of Mustang, offers a unique glimpse into the remote alpine settlements. From Jomsom, you can enjoy panoramic views of Nilgiri and Tukuche. The trail also features remarkable natural wonders, including the world’s deepest gorge, Kaligandaki, and the eternal flame near the underground brook at Muktinath in Jomsom.
