  • ‘Majhi Kuna’ translates to ‘Fisherman’s Corner’ and it lies in the eastern region of Begnas, Pokhara. It is one of the hidden gems visited by comparatively less number of tourists which makes it even more tranquil. It is a pristine and peaceful area surrounded by hills perfect for bird watching, swimming, and watching the sunset, Majhi Kuna is perfect for recreation. The hiking trail leading to this area goes through trees and a small village settlement. View of the mountains, hills, ridges along with the lakes add to the beauty of this place.

    Hike Highlights

    • Boating in Begnas Lake – interacting with the ‘Botey’ (boat driver).
    • Bird Watching
    • Swimming in the natural waters.
    • See the fish farming and taste local fish delicacies.
    • Discover the lifestyle of the villagers especially ‘Majhis’- fishermen.
    • Day 1 :

      In the morning we start our drive towards Begnas Bus Park. We then ride on a boat across the Begnas Lake to reach the starting point of our Hike. During the boat ride we interact with the female boat driver - belonging to the indegenious ‘botey’ community and learn about their experiences. After about 4-5 hrs we reach Majhi Kuna, where from a tower we can see both the Begnas and Rupa lakes. Birds like Ducks, Pheasant-Tailed Jacana, Hoppie Grey Bellied Tesia, Common Pintail Snipe, Bulbuls etc. live around these lakes and people, from kids to adults, line up for fishing. Here we have our lunch then hike back towards the Begnas Bus Park, from where we drive for an hour back to Pokhara.
