Often referred to as the 'City of Lakes,' Pokhara's identity is deeply tied to its waterways.
* **Phewa Lake:** The second largest lake in Nepal, central to the city's tourism and aesthetic appeal. * **Begnas Lake:** Located slightly east of the city center, it is quieter and more pristine, popular for fishing and relaxation. * **Rupa Lake:** The third main lake of the valley, known for its serene environment and local fish farming. * **Seti Gandaki River:** This powerful, glacial river flows right through the city, often completely hidden in deep, narrow chasms.
