Rupa Lake ringed by paddy fields east of Pokhara

Rupa Lake

Pokhara's quietest lake — paddy fields, fish farms, and a ridge-walk link to Begnas.

About this place

Summary

The least visited of Pokhara's three big lakes sits in a bowl of paddy fields east of Begnas — fish farms, water buffalo, and villages with barely a souvenir stand. The walking trail over the Sundari Danda ridge links it with Begnas for a perfect half-day loop.
