Nepal

Rara Lake (locally "Rara") is Nepal’s largest lake and the centerpiece of Rara National Park in Mugu District, Karnali Province. The trek/visit offers pristine turquoise waters framed by pine and fir forests, alpine meadows, rhododendron slopes, traditional villages and panoramic Himalayan views. It’s a moderate-altitude, remote trek that suits travelers seeking tranquility, nature-watching, and cultural encounters away from the main trekking corridors.

Mardi Himal Trek is a quieter, off-the-beaten-path trek in the Annapurna region offering close-up views of Annapurna South, Hiunchuli and the sacred Machapuchare (Fishtail). The trail passes through lush rhododendron and oak forests, small Gurung and Magar villages, and alpine meadows before reaching the high camps and the panoramic Mardi Himal Base Camp/Viewpoint. Compared with popular Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill routes, Mardi Himal provides a more secluded experience with spectacular sunrise and sunset mountain vistas.

Manaslu Circuit Trek is a classic high‑altitude trekking route circling Mount Manaslu (8,163 m) through the remote Gorkha/Manaslu Conservation Area in Nepal.

This trek is best for trekkers with good fitness and some high‑altitude experience.

Helambu–Gosaikunda Trek combines the cultural highlands of Helambu (Hyolmo/Sherpa communities) with the sacred alpine lakes of Gosaikunda. This moderate multi-day trekking route passes through rhododendron forests, traditional Sherpa/Hyolmo villages, high alpine pastures and the serene glacial Gosaikunda lakes. The trek offers panoramic Himalayan views, rich local culture, and a chance to experience a sacred Hindu pilgrimage site.
