Phewa Lake, 827m
Pokhara
The lake beneath the Fishtail.
Overview
Pokhara is where the Himalaya meets everyday life. Phewa Lake sits beneath the sacred, unclimbed spire of Machhapuchhre, and the city serves as the gateway to the Annapurna region — as well as a destination in its own right, for paragliding over the valley, boating at dawn, or simply watching the peaks catch last light from a lakeside café.
