Nepal Diaries #3 - Boating On A Lake At Sunset

This is the part 3 post of my travel to Nepal recently. You can check out the part 1 post here and part 2 post here. As you can probably tell from the posts I had a lot of fun and this is only a continuation of that.

After thoroughly enjoying the experience of paragliding over the Phewa Lake, I made it back to the hotel but before I could get rest, I had to head out with my sister for her Ultralight flight which you can read about here. I missed out on this, but next time I won't!

So, after that as the day was coming to an end, we decided to grab a quick bite to eat at a resort nearby, which had some other worldly food with awesome surroundings. Next time I go to Pokhara, I am staying here for sure! The rooms and the garden and the pool, all looked so welcoming!

I had these awesome momos (or dumplings), which are kind of a speciality dish of Nepal. Seriously, I have eaten a lot of momos in India but none tasted anything like the ones you can find in Nepal. They absolutely nail the taste there.

I also had this Chilly Potato which was I would have another plate of, had I not been that full already. Ah, can't wait to get back to this.

This ginger ale tasted pretty darn good as well. This is me, trying to be "artistic" with my shots. :P

After we were done, we made our way to the lake which was about a minute's walk from the resort. Boating on the Phewa Lake is something that literally everyone who visits does. The lake is enormous and you have many options to choose from as far as the boats go. Since we were only four people, we chose the smaller one.

Found this random house on the lake side and wondered who was living there. It must be so peaceful to sleep here at night with the sounds of water slowly guiding you to sleep.

This one is for larger groups of people who want to sit comfortably while making their way around the lake.

You may have heard the term "riding into the sunset". I bring to you, "boating into the sunset" haha!

There was greenery all around and the air was certainly richer with oxygen than in the cities. That, and the cold breeze that always seems to be flowing over the lake was pretty soothing.

As it was getting darker, there were very few boats that could be seen on the lake. Usually, during the day time, it can get really congested here. So, if you visit here, make sure you do it in the later part of the day.

This sight really surprised me as it was the first time I was witnessing migrating birds in such close proximity. I don't know which birds these were but it sure was fun to watch.

In the middle of the lake there is a temple and we made a quick stop there where my parents prayed for a bit. Meanwhile I and my sister were busy taking photos and @aishwarya clicked this one for me.

This is a panoramic shot I took of as much of the lake as I could. I was happy with this shot as it literally looked like some sort of wallpaper to me. Do you agree?
