▷Wake up early to go paragliding! Overlooking Feiwa Lake + Fishtail Peak (about 120 USD/person, including English-speaking instructor)
▷Rent a boat to tour the lake and see the reflection of Besisahar Temple (human-powered boat 200 rupees/hour)
▷ Ride a bicycle to Shalada Village, where Tibetan grandmas will teach you the traditional Guozhuang dance
🍲Foodies must try:
Grilled trout with saffron rice at Boat House Restaurant in Lakeside
Thamel District "Freak Street Café" Nepalese milk tea + banana pancakes
🏠Resistant choice:
Lake view B&B "Green Valley Resort", terrace room 3000 rupees/night including breakfast
⚠️Rainy season alternative: B&Bs in the suburbs of Pokhara are cheaper, but you need to confirm the transportation arrangements
📸Check-in position:
Universal Peace Pagoda with panoramic view of Feiwa Lake
Arrive at Sarangkot Viewpoint 1 hour before sunrise to capture the changing light and shadow of the Himalayas
