Begnas Lake
Pokhara's quiet second lake, 45 minutes east of the city, for boating, fishing and village walks.
Begnas Lake lies about 45 minutes east of Pokhara, next to its smaller neighbour, Rupa Lake. It's surrounded by forested hills and terraced farms, and its water level rises and falls with the monsoon and the needs of the local farmers.
What to do
- Hire a rowing boat for an hour or two.
- Fish from the bank with the local anglers.
- Walk up the ridge between Begnas and Rupa for a view over both lakes.
