Around the green forest and the attractive lake nearby, boating and taking pictures are also found. This is the view of Mawarak or Rani Lake, which is located near Rajarani Bazar in Chaubise Rural Municipality of Dhankuta.

This lake is also the main destination here. In Limbu language Ranital is called Mawarak and Rajatal is Pavarak. According to Tekratna Chemjong, chairman of the Mawarak Rani Lake Conservation Committee, the names of these lakes are based on the fact that 'pa' and 'ma' mean father and mother and warak in Limbu language.

Among these two lakes, efforts have been made to protect Rani Lake. However, no conservation work has been done on Raja Pawarak Lake which is located on the other side. Locals say that in the past there were two lakes in the north and south of the present Rajarani market. Till 1862, there was a huge lake in the Rajarani area, but later the water was released due to the rupture of the gully on the south side. Rajarani market is named after these two lakes.

In 2063, an area of ​​150 plantations under private ownership was protected for the management of Rani Lake located in Chaubise Rural Municipality-6. However, Raja Lake, which is about two hundred meters away from Rani Lake, is in an isolated state. Rajkumar Chemjong, the chairman of the municipality, who is also the chairman of Choubise Tourism Development Committee, said that they could not reach an agreement to make the lake area a large tourist area.

Raja lake with an area of ​​500 ropani is in swampy condition due to lack of protection. Some parts have playgrounds. Earlier, the rural municipality had made a DPR for the comprehensive development of Rani Tal area by maintaining the land of 50 households in the cooperative. But now, plotting is being done on the same land.

In Chaubise rural municipality, including these two, half a dozen lakes are under protection. Despite being privately owned, most of the lakes have not been promoted as they are not used by individuals and cannot be used for institutional purposes. Dhappad Lake and Tithung Lake, which are located in Chaubise Village-2 along with Shorey Bazar, are also waiting for protection. The rural municipality has started the conservation work of Dhappad Lake spread over 52 plantations at a cost of 4 crores from last year.

According to the municipality, a wall and an access road have also been constructed to protect the lake. However, due to lack of budget, the nearby Tithung Lake could not be protected, said Rajkumar Chemjong, the chairman of the municipality. He said, "Budget is needed for conservation". The municipality does not have the budget to do everything at once.'

Three lakes within the same ward

There are three lakes in the same ward of Choubise Rural Municipality-1. Of which all the lakes have not been protected . Although some efforts have been made to attract tourists to Kangra Lake in Sanomuktra, other lakes have not been protected. Kangra Lake spread over an area of ​​about 40 ropani in the name of the individual, although the protection was started 2 years ago, the infrastructure work could not be done due to the lack of additional budget, the vice president of the municipality Tankmaya Pangmi Magar said. Kanya temple in the middle of the lake and tea plantations and forests around the lake makes the lake look beautiful. 

On the other side, the Rani Pokhari Lake spread over 200 trees in Syangdan village is also in a state of isolation. The land on which the lake is located is also in the name of a person. Only partially cultivated and most of the lake area is in wetland condition . Due to the lack of protection of the lake, the water surface is covered with vegetation. To protect the

lake, the process of bringing private land to the cooperative has started and the construction work of the lake is in the process of progress.  Gadere lake is spread in an area of ​​about 40 plants on the east side of Ward No. 1 No. The lake is also limited to swamps due to lack of proper protection.

Even the land in the said lake is in the name of the person . Ward Chairman Devendra Shrestha said that although the landowner decided to provide land for the lake a few years ago, there is no agreement on the income of the lake. Shrestha said, "We are thinking that tourism infrastructure and fish farming will be done to prevent water and land from being wasted."
