Phewa Lake is the central attraction of Pokhara. It is the largest and most enchanting of three lakes that add to the resplendence of Pokhara. Here, you can row a hired boat across the water of the lake and visit the island temple in the lake. The eastern shore, popularly known as Lakeside or Baeda, is the favourite haunt of all travellers: restaurants and bars, handicraft shops and other tourist facilities are all located here.
Bindhyabasini Temple, one of Pokhara’s most important shrines, dedicated to Goddess Bhagwati, set atop a small hill with a spacious stone-paved courtyard and a peaceful, park-like atmosphere. The temple becomes especially vibrant on Tuesdays and Saturdays when devotees gather for worship and rituals, and is approximately 2 km from Himalayan Front Hotel.
