Begnaskot Day hike and Coffee Tour
Description
One reason why many tourists flock to Pokhara is not only because it’s a gateway to famous trekking routes but also for its beautiful Phewa Lake and the variety of activities around it. However, another hidden gem awaits in the eastern part of the valley—Begnas Lake. Although less touristy, Begnas Lake is a serene destination that is well worth exploring.
After a scenic 45-minute drive from Pokhara’s Lakeside, you’ll arrive at Begnas Lake. Here, you’ll embark on a picturesque hike that takes you through lush green forests and charming villages. As you ascend to the northeast ridge of Begnaskot, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views of the Annapurna range reflected in the blue-green waters of Begnas Lake. This Begnaskot day hike also includes a visit to a local coffee farm, where you can interact with villagers and farmers. Lunch is provided at a cozy homestay, offering an authentic cultural experience. On your way back, don’t miss the chance to try a local fish delicacy, freshly caught from Begnas Lake.
