About This Tour

Begnas Lake is Pokhara’s quiet alternative to busy Phewa Lake — a serene body of water east of the city where mountains reflect in still water, fishing boats drift silently, and the lakeshore villages carry on their daily farming and fishing routines without tourist crowds. The Begnas Lake Day Tour takes you to this peaceful corner for a boat ride, village walk, and lakeside lunch.

The surrounding villages are farming communities where the pace of life is gentle and the scenery is beautiful. Fish farms along the lakeshore supply the restaurants that serve fresh fish — the lunch here is one of the best meals in the Pokhara area. An optional walk across the forested ridge connects Begnas to Rupa Lake, the third of Pokhara’s trio of lakes.
