Tal Barahi: Nepal’s Famed Island Temple (Photos)

Birat Anupam

It is located in Pokhara Metropolitan City. However, you can’t travel by roads. You can’t make your footfall by walking. All you need to do is boating.

The two-way boating from the shore of Phewa Lake and temple costs Rs. 100 for Nepalis. Tilted three inch southwards by 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, this Tal Barahi temple is back to track after reconstruction and has been a magnet both for Hindu devotees and foreign tourists visiting Pokhara.

The current form of the temple was built by King Mahendra in 1961.
