Two Beautiful Lake

I have been posting several pictures of my hometown Pokhara.Here again I am posting few pictures of very popular lakes Fewa lake and Begnas lake around my hometown and Nepal.
Here are the pictures of Fewa Lake taken form my n95 . Fewa lake is the second largest lake of Nepal lying at an altitude of 784 m (2,572 ft) located in Pokhara.It covers an area of about 4.43 km2 (1.7 sq mi) and is about 8.6 m (28 ft) deep.Phewa lake is famous for the reflection of Mount Machapuchare on its surface and the holy Barahi Mandir (Temple) is situated in the middle of this lake.

Here are the pictures of the Begnas Tal (lake). About 10 km southeast of Pokhara lies the Begnas Tal.It's a serene lake where the mountains of the Annapurna Range are brilliantly reflected. There is a Restaurant right on the top from where you can have the complete view of the lake.I love going to this place during the weekends and holidays and enjoy my day with few bottles of chilled beer and delicious fish fry .

If you feel energetic, you can rent boats and paddle for really cheap.

The majestic view of Annapurna mountain range and the Machapuchare " Fishtail "

Pokhara valley is dominated by the Himalayan panorama which are seen at their best mirroring on the surface of the Fewa Lake.They are just about 50 km away.The Annapurna range is a 55 km long massif series of peaks of which Annapurna-I the world's 10th-highest summit stands at 8,091 meters.
The most beautiful Machhapuchhre( Fishtail) is the mountain (6993 meters) in Annapurna range.It has a double summit that resembles the tail of a fish, hence it is called "FishTail." It is also nicknamed the "Matterhorn of Nepal".Fishtail is famous for its “purity” as no man has ever climbed it. It is forbidden to climb as it is revered by the local people as sacred to god.I took these pictures in the month of October and November,the best time for the majestic view of the Himalayas.

Nature at its best - The god perfect combination of the Himalayas and lake.

This world is simply the best..

When sometimes I sit back and think ,I truly feel that the world is indeed a beautiful place.The god has created it so perfect.I shot these snaps on my visit to TAl BARAHI TEMPLE in Pokhara, ,my hometown .A tree standing by the Fewa lake and the birds sitting on it and perhaps watching us and wondering.Who knows if they were talking about us :)

It seems he has something real important to say .He looks excited .I guess he found some worms.LOL

It seems he is thinking deep basking in the sun hehe.

Each of them are sitting away from each other .. Did they have a fight ? Lol.

Whatever it is .. it looks simply beautiful.

The way to the island - Tal Barahi Temple

This is a view of the very famous TAL BARAHI temple , located in the middle of the fewalake in Pokhara . This place serves the visitors as a station for the journey to the temple to start. We can see the people standing on the shore ..waiting eagerly for the boats to sail them to the temple.

"The waiting " in the heat is so boring and tiring but patience is the only solution . The people are still waiting for the move, chill just few minutes more to sail .So on your marks get set and ..


and finally "GO" two boats started to row leaving stilll a few behind at the shore . So tired waiting for their turn .. some have even fallen asleep . Get up .. for sure you are the next .

Highway to Heaven(Lovely Hill)

This is another interesting highway in Pokhara . This narrow highway along the Fewalake leads us to a lover's park which is generally known as "Lovely Hill",( the most happening and popular dating place in Pokhara.) The road looks narrow for the riders but riding on here is not difficult but unexpectedly adventurous . As this road takes the "the lovers" to "the heaven" i.e. "The lover's park" , I preferred it calling "the highway to heaven " .

Basundhara Park near Fewalake

This is a very beautiful park ( Basundhara Park ) in Pokhara . As it is located near the lake , the tourism board is planning to turn it into a " beach ". This park is famous for organizing music concerts , business exhibitions and cultural festivals . It is also known as a " lover's park". In weekdays this park is a mere grazing place for the herbivorous animals ( cows, buffaloes etc.) . However it is indeed a place worth visiting . Being here in this park certainly calms your soul with the pleasant breezes of the water flowing near it .

The Heaven Lies on Earth

The heaven lies on earth itself . This is a picture of Fewalake in Pokhara (the paradise of Nepal ) Just the view of the still boats on the shore is a treat to the eyes and the soul .. imagine how heavenly would you feel being on those boats and sailing across feeling the chillness at your heart .
