Nepal's largest lake, a sapphire held in pine forest silence in the remote far-west — the queen of lakes.
🕉️ The story & spiritual meaning
Rara is the 'Queen of Lakes' — locals believe a protective goddess dwells in its depths, and pilgrims circle its waters as a kora. Its colour shifts from sapphire to emerald through the day, which shepherds will tell you is the goddess changing her shawl.
