We planned to go in the afternoon with kids. Since Fewa lake was just opposite our hotel’s Landmark, it took only 5 minutes walking for us to reach the lake. We had to wait for at least 20 minutes for our turn. It was quiet sunny but the breeze was cool. So, we were fine. We boarded the boat till Tal Barahi temple which is the famous religious old pilgrimage.

Important note

Initially, my little one was scared to get in boat but settled down later. We could see many tourists from China. It took us just 5-7 minutes to reach Tal Barahi temple. The oarsman rowed the boat and parked at the temple. We all wore life jackets while on the boat. Soon, we entered the temple. There was a lot of crowd. The complex was clean.

Little parks were there with the seats for relaxation. Some small shops were selling religious stuff. We could see some people offering bait to fishes. Kids got super excited to see so many fishes.
