Read moreI had the incredible opportunity to hike to Murma Top in Rara National Park, and I must say, it was an adventure like no other. The journey started from Danphe Hotel, and let me tell you, it's a steep climb. Our group of nine people embarked on this challenging trek, taking our time with plenty of rest stops along the way.

From murma village side and army camp or danphe resort side. Murma village side is more difficult because of the steep climb of 2.5hrs whereas the army camp or danphe resort side is less hectic with gradual uphills (personal experience).

It's a long and tough walk but worth...
