Lakeside serenity beneath the Annapurnas — paragliding, boating on Phewa Lake, and the world's best breakfast view from Sarangkot.
In the middle of Phewa Lake sits Tal Barahi, temple of the boar-faced protector goddess who guards the waters. Above it all soars Machhapuchhre, the Fishtail — believed to be an abode of Shiva and so sacred that climbing it is forbidden. It has never been summited, and by law never will be.
