Nepal provides some fine opportunities of boating. These range from the glacier-fed lakes up north, down to where the laden rivers ease into the Terai plaints.
Pokhara’s Phewa Lake is the most popular destination for those who love recreational boating. Phewa is the second largest lake in the kingdom, measuring roughly 1.5 by 4 km. Its eastern shore, also known as lakeside or Baidham, is a tourist hive.
Begnas and Rupa Tal are located 15 km out of Pokhara at the end of a road that turns off the Kathmandu highway. These are excellent ‘boat-lakes’. Phewa, Begnas and Rupa were all once part of the body of water that filled the Pokhara Valley.
Begnas and Rupa have remained largely pristine. The best time for boating in Pokhara is between October and February, when the skies are clear and the mountains cast their shadows on the lake’s tranquil waters
