Rupa Lake
Rupa Tal
A small lake south of Begnas Lake, managed by a local community cooperative. Rice paddies and waterbirds along its shores make a peaceful village scene.
Rupa Lake covers about 1.35 square km and is one of the Seven Lakes of the Pokhara Valley. A local fishermen's cooperative manages the protection of the lake's ecosystem, and many species of waterbirds can be seen on it. Few visitors come here. It is a good destination for a hike of about 1 to 2 hours from Begnas Lake along the Tachhu ridge, with views over both lakes and the surrounding rice paddies. Facilities at the lake are basic, with a small tea house. It is about 1 hour by car from Lakeside.
