Nepal 2

The next day we wanted to visit more than one place so we chose to visit  Phewa Lake and Durbar Square.
In the morning we went to Phewa Lake which is a semi-natural freshwater lake located in the south of the Pokhara Valley (North of Kathmandu) as it's not too far away we got a taxi. As soon as we got there I was awestruck by the beauty of the lake and couldn't wait to hire a boat and go around the lake. For most of the morning we just took in the enchanting site of the lake and relaxed.



In the evening we went back to Kathmandu and visited Durbar Square which is the plazas and areas that separate the old royal places in Nepal. It consists of temples, idols, open courts, water fountains and more. It is a huge attraction and cultural site. It's located at the heart of ancient city in Kathmandu it is surrounding both Hindu and Buddhist temple. Most of the buildings we see here date from 15th to 18th century, with its old temples, palaces, epitomizes the religious and cultural life of the people. I loved it because it gave me a feel for the different cultures in Nepal and we could see the different temples and walk around to the different sites at our leisure.
