Kanjirowa. The surrounding forests are rich with plant species like the famed rhododendron, pine, and tall sky-touching oak. At the same time, the nearby Chuchemara Hill, which is 4,087 meters high, works as the perfect vantage point from which to admire the lake and the great picturesque surroundings.
This helicopter tour offers an excellent opportunity to explore the untouched beauty of the great Rara Lake in a short amount of time. Along with its calm landscapes and vibrant biodiversity, the lake is renowned for the fine Snowtrout fish variety.
