A site to must visit when you are in Pokhara. The best thing is that the motor boat are not operated in the Lake as a contribution to the environment. Most of the boat drivers are friendly and serve as tour guide.

It's a serene place and most famous tourist destination in pokhara, as a traveller I really love the environment the lake has, I visited it on different times of the day, early morning it's calm and beautiful, day time it starts filling with people and gets crowded, many people love to hire boats and visit the temple which is right in the middle of the lake and also to take a pleasurable ride around it. It's a fulfilling experience. Boating with family, friends, solo anything is rewarding. People wave at each other and click pictures and share a smile across. The tourists are amazing as well. Early morning I saw many tea and snacks sellers. The market has changed so much at lakeside. There are many trekking supply, pachmina/ cashmere, Jewellery, antique, book, clothes stores there as well as the number of restaurants serving various cuisine has increased. The old/ new, tall hotels and buildings can be visible now, mostly in the alleyways of the other side of the lake. The number of bars and pubs has opened and serve live music there. So if you enjoy it you can choose any of them. They also designed a pavement for taking a long walk along side the lake which is a good step I feel, there are many street food or restaurants there as well. Night life by the lake is worthy. Take a stroll and eat your favourite food from Chinese to Tibetan to Nepalese to anything else they serve. They also have permanent fair called Disneyland pokhara, we enjoyed the giant wheel ride it overlooked whole lakeside. In the evening we witnessed the barahi temple Aarti, it gave the vibe of Banaras ganga ghat aarti, and it was a different experience for me aa well as I saw it happening for the 1st time. Everyday at Lakeside is great. There is a positive vibe. While wandering in the morning I took a ride and walk from one end to another of the locality. I visited the gardens, temples alongside and clicked a lot of photographs.
