Attraction
Mugu District Trekking
Pristine wilderness trekking to Rara and beyond
Mugu District in the Karnali Province is one of Nepal's most remote and least-visited trekking destinations, encompassing the stunning landscapes around Rara National Park, the Mugu Karnali River valley, and approaches to the high Himalayan ranges bordering Tibet. The district's extreme remoteness has preserved both its natural environment and the traditional culture of its Tibetan-influenced communities.Trekking routes through Mugu offer encounters with yak herders, ancient gompas, and incredible mountain scenery in absolute solitude. The combination of Rara Lake, high passes, and pristine wilderness makes Mugu one of Nepal's ultimate off-the-beaten-path trekking regions.
