Begnas Lake

Phewa without the crowds — a quiet working lake ringed by terraces and homestays.

About this place

Summary

Fifteen kilometers southeast of Lakeside, Begnas is what Phewa was decades ago — a quiet, working lake ringed by terraced hills, fishing boats, and homestay villages. Paddle out at dawn, walk the ridge between Begnas and Rupa, and eat fresh fish at a lakeside kitchen.
