Phewa & Cluster Of 9 Lakes

Pokhara owes much its popularity to the enchanting fresh-water Cluster of 9 Lakes which include the popular Phewa,  Begnas, Rupa, Khaste, Dipang, Maidi, Gunde, Neurani, Kamalpokhari and Pokhara Seti Catchment, lakes. The lakes give Pokhara its name and also play a vital role in sustaining the biodiversity, ecosystem and the local livelihood. The Pokhara Valley Lake Cluster was listed as Ramsar Site on Feb. 2, 2021. 

On the eastern shore of Phewa Lake is Lakeside or Baidam, a thriving resort town of hotels, restaurants, bars and souvenir shops popular among travelers. Phewa Lake is a great place to relax with various leisure and water activities. Boaters usually also make it a point to visit Taal Barahi Temple dedicated to Ajima or Shakti, on a little strip of island in Phewa Lake. Equally popular are the Begnas and Rupa lakes which are a little out of town and offer refreshing breaks from the city humdrum. Boats can be hired in the lake vicinities.
