About this place

Summary

Renting a rowboat (or a colorfully painted doonga with a boatman) remains the essential Phewa experience — an hour gliding under vultures and kites toward the Tal Barahi island temple, with the Annapurna skyline mirrored in the water on clear mornings. Kayaks are available from several Lakeside outfitters for longer paddles.
