Best Rara Lake Trek with Adventure A One Trek!!

I recently went on the Rara Lake Trek with Adventure A One Treks, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Everything was extremely well organized, and the trek staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I must especially thank Ajeeb Bhatta, the owner, who went above and beyond to make sure our group felt at home. The scenery around Rara Lake was simply beautiful, and I would highly recommend this trek to anybody looking for a unique and wonderful experience. 5 stars!
