Karnali Region

Karnali is one of the most isolated and least known parts of Nepal. Located in the far west, it is famous for its pristine nature, peaceful surroundings and genuine local culture. Karnali is a great place to enjoy a peaceful and less crowded travel experience unlike popular trekking areas.

The area has beautiful scenery, with high mountains, deep valleys, rivers, forests and alpine lakes. The highlight of the region is Rara Lake, the largest lake in Nepal, known for its clear blue water and calm surroundings.

Karnali is also culturally rich. The local communities lead traditional lifestyles and the visitor experiences simple village life, local food and unique customs that are different from other parts of Nepal.

There are protected areas like Rara National Park and Shey Phoksundo National Park in the area where you can find wildlife like musk deer, Himalayan black bear and many bird species.

In Karnali, domestic flights and trekking in the remote areas are the main means of travel. Basic teahouses are available but facilities are more basic than in the Everest and Annapurna regions This is why Karnali is ideal for travelers seeking authentic adventure and a more profound bond with nature.
