FEWA LAKE

Phewa lake and water sports are the main tourist attraction of Pokhara city and the north shore of the lake has developed into a tourist district, commonly called Lake-Side, with hotels, restaurants, and bars catering to the tourists. The water from the Phewa Lake outlet is used to generate electricity. The Phewa Power House has located about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) from the southern part of the Phewa Lake.  A part of the lake is also used for commercial caged fisheries.

SETI RIVER

The Seti originates from the snowfields and glaciers around the twin peaks of API and Nampa in the south-facing slopes of the central Himalayas. The area is near the tri-junction of the borders of Nepal, India (Kumaon, Uttarakhand), and China (Tibet). The river first flows in a south-easterly direction, then turns and flows in a south-westerly and finally south-easterly again before joining the Karnali or Ghagra River. It has cut a spectacular gorge across the Mahabharata Range and appears to be lost amongst caves and tunnels for a short distance. The roaring Seti River passes through Pokhara, but you won’t see it unless you go looking. The river has carved a deep, narrow gorge through the middle of town, turning the water milky white in the process. At points, the gorge is less than a meter across and the river gushes by more than 50m below street level. The best place to catch a glimpse of the Seti River is the park near the KI Singh Bridge, just north of old Pokhara on the road to Balachaur.

BARAHI TEMPLE

This is the most important religious monument in Pokhara. Built almost in the middle of Phewa Lake, the two storied pagodas are dedicated to the boar manifestation of Ajima, the protectress deity representing the female force Shakti. Devotees can be seen, especially on Saturdays, carrying male animals and fowl across the lake to be sacrificed to the deity.

WORLD PEACE STUPA

The pagoda is a massive Buddhist stupa and is situated on top of a hill on the southern shore of Phewa Lake. Besides being an impressive sight in itself, the shrine is a great vantage point that offers spectacular views of the Annapurna range and Pokhara city. You can get there by crossing the lake by boat and then hiking up the hill.
