No.141 - Journey of Dreams - Pohkara Lake, Nepal.

Pokhara is a city of fine lakes with crystalline water. The lake in the immediate vicinity of the city is Phewa Tai with an island temple dedicated to Goddess Barahi in the middle. With its serene water reflecting the Annap;urna range and a nicely preserved forest on the adjoining southern slope, this lagendary second largest lake of the kingdom of Nepal remains a major source of attraction for the visiting tourists. It can be explored in canoes locally known as doongas.
