- David WColeshill, UK107 contributionsThis was such a highlight of a wonderful holiday . Early start for the drive up to the viewpoint. It was dark when we arrived and then slowly as the sun rose the mountains started appearing . It was something I will never forget .Written 12 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pokhara taxi S3 contributionsFewa Lake, located in the heart of Pokhara, Nepal, is a stunning natural gem and a must-visit destination. Surrounded by lush green hills and the majestic Annapurna mountain range, the lake offers breathtaking views that are both serene and mesmerizing.
The tranquil waters of Fewa Lake provide the perfect setting for boating. Renting a colorful wooden boat or paddleboat and gliding across the calm surface is an experience like no other. The highlight is a visit to the Tal Barahi Temple, a small yet significant shrine located on an island in the middle of the lake.
Early mornings at Fewa Lake are magical, with the reflection of the snow-capped peaks, including Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), shimmering on the water's surface. It's also a hub for photographers and nature lovers who come to capture its beauty.
The lakeside area is lively, offering a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops where you can relax and enjoy the view. Whether you're looking for adventure or peace, Fewa Lake is a perfect retreat for everyone.

- Dr R M Thapa SyangjaPutalibazar, Nepal435 contributionsSimply stunningly panoramic. This place is named after valiant Magar hill people of Nepal. Poon Magar hill offers stunning panorama of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna range mountains. The walk is moderately hard. The rewards in views and hospitality of Magar people atop and along the manicured walkways is worth the sweat and hike.

- SuzanneandRick_10Guangzhou, China197 contributionsThey would not allow us to walk the wrong way when there were many tourists in the basement. The basement had the best displays, and the exhibits had numbers so we could walk in an orderly fashion. Walking first in the basement made sense. Also, one display requires taking off your shoes, but there was no place to sit down to do it. Not everyone wears slip-ons. Overall, the experience was great.Written 16 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Alil74Dublin, Ireland35 contributionsJust returned from a really tough but amazing trek in the Annapurnas called ‘Hidden Lake’ it was very remote and a tough climb over 5/6 days but worth it. Most amazing views & colours. The tea houses were quiet, fire lighting, very authentic and excellent Dhal Bhat. The colours on the mountains esp sunrises and sunsets spectacular.
