Rara Lake (Rara National Park)
What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at Rara Lake (Rara National Park).
Rara Lake, Nepal's largest lake, lies inside Rara National Park and is a Ramsar site. As with all Nepali national parks, fishing inside the park is restricted (DNPWC permit required; general no-fishing rule for protected areas under the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act). Underwater spearfishing would fall under these protected-area restrictions.

License for Nepal
Whether you need a license to spearfish here, and how to get one.
Apply to the DNPWC (Kathmandu or regional offices) or the relevant local authority. Foreign anglers reportedly must submit a passport copy, visa copy, passport-sized photo, fishing itinerary (location, duration, purpose), gear details, and pay the permit fee. Fishing through a licensed Nepali operator is recommended.
