Pokhara's centrepiece: wooden boats, the Tal Barahi island temple and — on still mornings — a perfect Machapuchare reflection.

One of the world's highest large lakes (4,919 m), beneath the Grande Barrière of the Annapurnas — a bucket-list side trip from Manang.

Dolpo's impossible turquoise: Nepal's deepest lake, sacred to the Bon religion, below Ringmo village and a 167 m waterfall.
