About this spot
Begnas Lake is east of Pokhara’s main Lakeside area. Head to the public shore for a walk and views across the water, leaving time for the return journey. This outing is for visitors already in Pokhara. Shore access is reported free, but check local notices; boat rides, fishing activities and restaurant seating are separate.
Begnas and Rupa are neighbouring lakes, while Phewa lies closer to central Pokhara.
