water. One lake, endless possibilities.
Sticking to the theme of water, the dam
of Lake Phewa is the source of the mystically
named Davis Falls. It is believed the waterfall
got its name from a tourist named Devi who
was swimming there with her husband butA CITY BUILT FOR TWO WHEELS
Within the city, it is advisable to explore with
a motorcycle as it can bring you to more
remote areas, it costs around 1,200 rupees
per day to rent a motorcycle (after haggling.)
Biking is a cheaper option but involves
more usage of the leg muscles. The last
thing you want to do is to separate yourself
and the Himalayas with a dirty car window
throughout your trip.FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE
LAKES
Less physically demanding activities are
available for the less eagle-hearted, taking
a walk around Lake Phewa can be just as
rewarding. Imagine this; a clear pristine lake
surrounded by lush green mountains, you
walk around the water against the light Nepali
spring breeze as the sun is setting, in the near
distance, local women wash their clothes by
the crystal clear water, words just can’t do it
justice. Alternatively, you can hire a boat to
bring you across the enchanting lake or toTal Barahi Temple, located in the middle of Lake Phewa Davis Falls, also known as “hell’s waterfall”
