Boat ride on Phewa Lake

It is 330 pm and our guide Sasha has met us to go down to the lake. Here we find small boats with their captains ready to row us across the lake. Water is like glass, the ride smooth and pleasant. Liz and Al are in a boat that travels close to us and the guide is with us. She identifies a few points of interest but I am just enjoying the gentle rocking of the boat and the scenery.

We arrive at an island in the centre of the lake. There is a temple, many holy pigeons, lots of people and a bit of shopping. Sasha explains a bit about the temple and surrounding area. We take photos, shop and board our boat for return trip.Read more
