The best time to go to Rara is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months.
Spring offers pleasant weather with milder temperatures, and the surrounding hills are adorned with blooming rhododendrons, creating a truly picturesque landscape. The days are generally clear, providing excellent visibility for viewing Rara Lake and the distant Himalayan peaks. This season is ideal for those who enjoy hiking and exploring the natural beauty of the region without the extreme cold of winter or the heavy rains of monsoon.
Autumn is another excellent period to visit Rara. The monsoon rains have cleared, leaving behind a refreshed environment with crisp air and clear skies. Temperatures are comfortable for outdoor activities, and the reduced humidity makes for enjoyable trekking conditions.
