We met our guide at the hotel lobby in the morning, then took a short walk to the lakeside. On the lakeside a raft was waiting for us to take us across the lake. We rafted through Phewa lake by passing fully around the Barahi temple in the middle.

Nepal has a reputation for being one of the best places in the world for rafting, with outstanding river journeys ranging from steep, adrenaline-charged mountain streams to classic big-volume wilderness expeditions.
