Phewa Lake

Undoubtedly a signature landmark of Pokhara, the Phewa Lake or Phewa Tal is the second largest lake in Nepal. The north eastern side of the lake also known as Lakeside, has seen immense commercial development in the recent past and is a buzzing tourist hotspot now with rows of hotels and restaurants in place. This gives the travellers easy access to the lake side where they come for boating or just a leisurely day out. On a good cloudless day, one can even see the reflection of the Annapurna Mountains on the crystal clear lake water! In contrast to the Lakeside, the south western shore of Phewa Lake is still very much unexplored thanks to the lush Rani Ban. If you are into cycling, then you will love to have a cycle ride along the lake shore. Trekkers will definitely like to hike up to the nearby World Peace Pagoda offering exquisite views of the lake with the background of the snow covered mountains.
