Khaste Lake

Khaste Lake is a freshwater lake situated in the Kharaney Pant area of Pokhara. It serves as a quiet location for visitors who wish to walk along the lakeshore away from the more developed tourist hubs of the city.

Getting There

The lake is located on the outskirts of Pokhara. Travelers can reach the site from the city center via taxi or private vehicle. The journey typically takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic conditions and the specific starting point within the city.

Duration of Visit

Because the primary activity is a relaxed stroll around the perimeter, visitors generally spend between 1 and 2 hours at the site.

When to Visit

The lake is best visited during the autumn and spring seasons when the weather is mild. Early morning or late afternoon visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat. This location is significantly less crowded than the main lakes in Pokhara.
