Explore the heavens while staying at Yak Lodge at Char Rate, a nomadic desire at an altitude of 3600 meters, in the Singalila Himalayan Range. Imagine you are on the top of Singalila National Park, one of the rarest high-altitude forests towards the south base camp of Mt. Kanchenjunga. The place is located in Nepal, on a small plateau called Thakum valley between the ever-called Sandakphu – Phalut trekking route.

In earlier days, it was one of the hill corridors between neighboring countries, India, Nepal, Sikkim and Tibet (China). Yaks used to play a vital role in the socio-economy of the nomadic highlanders. They used to come from various places and gathered in this valley and stayed here for at least four nights with the Yaks for farming. With the passage of time, the name of the place stands as Char Rate, situated in Panchthar district of East Nepal.

Yak Lodge is the only place to stay over here. It is a small wooden nest having cozy attached bathrooms with basic amenities. It stands every moment with the challenges of survival. Sometimes the wind blows at a speed of more than 100 km / hrs, and the temperature goes down far below the frozen mark. The warm hospitality with freshly made ethnic food will boost your immune to cope with the challenges. The limited resources of lighting arrangement will make you feel as if you are living on a lonely planet surrounded by the highest peaks of the Singalila Range.

An early morning may be started with a cup of Darjeeling tea after viewing the mesmerizing presence of four of the five highest peaks in the world: Mt. Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu & Mt. Kanchenjunga covering the whole sky. As the day proceeds, the changes of different shades of the ice peaks along with the colors of the National Park will strike you with surprise.

If luck favors, you can experience the colorful fireworks of rhododendron, beautiful Himalayan birds a lucky shy look of the red panda, hostile yak, lazy Himalayan sloth bear and the horses and sheep grazing down the valley will give you the aesthetic and wild feelings.
