Our experience
Beautiful view
We planned to go in the afternoon with kids. Since Fewa lake was just opposite our hotel’s Landmark, it took only 5 minutes walking for us to reach the lake. We had to wait for at least 20 minutes for our turn. It was quiet sunny but the breeze was cool. So, we were fine. We boarded the boat till Tal Barahi temple which is the famous religious old pilgrimage.
Important note
Initially, my little one was scared to get in boat but settled down later. We could see many tourists from China. It took us just 5-7 minutes to reach Tal Barahi temple. The oarsman rowed the boat and parked at the temple. We all wore life jackets while on the boat. Soon, we entered the temple. There was a lot of crowd. The complex was clean.
Fishes getting accumulated near temple
Little parks were there with the seats for relaxation. Some small shops were selling religious stuff. We could see some people offering bait to fishes. Kids got super excited to see so many fishes.
View of Pagoda from Fewa Lake
There was a clear view of pagoda from the temple. After spending quick 20 minutes, we started our return journey. We boarded the next available boat and reached back.
Overall, it was a nice afternoon spent in Fewa Lake
