About Pokhara
Phewa Lake mirrors Annapurna's snow peaks so perfectly it doubles the mountain's height—a perfect symmetry rarely found in nature. Lakeside paths wind between temples, guesthouses, and lakeside cafes; paragliders drift overhead. The valley cradles three lakes; Fewa Lake is the tourist hub, but Begnas and Rupa lakes remain tranquil.
