What Influences Mosquito Activity in Rara Trek?

Several factors influence mosquito activity around Rara Lake and the surrounding trails. The region's elevation, ranging from 2,990 to 4,020 meters, generally limits mosquito breeding, but the warmer, wetter months create ideal conditions. Key influencers include:

Temperature: Warmer temperatures increase mosquito metabolism.
Rainfall: Monsoon rains create breeding pools.
Vegetation: Dense forests near the lake provide shelter.

Understanding these helps trekkers anticipate mosquito presence. Learn more about the climate impact on Himalayan mosquitoes.
