This beautiful lake is one of the tourist destinations of Pokhara. Rupa Lake has always been one of the favorite places to visit among the tourist as it receives a fair number of visitors every year. Begnas Tal and Rupa Tal which lies side by side are said to be the twins which are separated by a panic ridge which gives a beautiful view of both lakes; some even consider it as the eyes of Pokhara. Apart from that, we can witness many local as well as international tourists visiting this place for boating and fishing. Tourist is also permitted to swim in this lake if they want. Besides the tourism activities, the other major economic booster of the lake is fish farming by practicing cage culture ( which can also be called as cage fisheries) and pen culture where around 120 – 150 kilograms of fishes are caught on a daily basis. The locals from the area have operated boats and fishing on the lake which has become one of their source of income and around 19 boats are operated for boating purposes here in this lake.
But this beautiful lake is said to be extinct in the near future if we do not take care of the lake and its surrounding property. Pollution, the unorganized and mismanaged tourists activities, haphazard growth of the plant species and many other reasons have degraded the quality of the lake for which it is said to be extinct in the coming years if we do not take immediate action.
