The Majestic Phewa Lake View Point

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the Lakeside area of Phewa Lake, head towards the main road (Lakeside Street). Walk north along the lakeshore until you reach the end of the promenade. Once you hit the main road, take a right turn and continue walking until you see signs directing you to the Phewa Lake View Point. The total walking distance is approximately 2 kilometers, and it should take about 30-40 minutes depending on your pace.

• Boat Ride

  For a more scenic route, consider taking a boat across Phewa Lake. You can hire a rowboat or a paddleboat from one of the many rental places along the lakeside. A typical boat ride costs around 500-1000 NPR for an hour, depending on the type of boat and negotiation. After reaching the other side of the lake, follow the trail signs leading to the View Point. The walk from the lakeshore to the viewpoint is about 1 kilometer uphill.

• Trekking

  If you're feeling adventurous, you can trek from the Lakeside area directly uphill to the Phewa Lake View Point. The trail starts near the International Mountain Museum. Follow the well-marked path that leads you through beautiful forests and local villages. The trek is about 1.5 kilometers and can take around 45 minutes to an hour. Be prepared for a moderate incline, and wear comfortable shoes.
