Boating and kayaking in Pokhara are among the most popular activities for tourists, thanks to the city's stunning lakes and calm waters. The most famous spot for these activities is Phewa Lake, where you can rent a boat or kayak and enjoy the serene environment surrounded by the majestic Annapurna mountain range.

Boating on Phewa Lake offers a peaceful experience as you glide across the tranquil water, often catching the reflection of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Mountain) on clear days. It's a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, and you can even row yourself to the small island in the middle of the lake, which houses the Tal Barahi Temple.

Kayaking is also available on Phewa Lake and other nearby lakes like Begnas Lake and Rupa Lake. These lakes provide a quieter alternative to Phewa, where you can explore the natural beauty of the area at your own pace. Kayaking allows you to get closer to the water and enjoy a more intimate experience with nature, making it an excellent choice for adventure enthusiasts and nature lovers alike​.
