Begnas Lake

Begnas Lake, Leknath, Nepal – 2010. I spent four weeks in Nepal in 2010 on a Habitat for Humanity “Everest Build” at the Municipal area of Leknath outside Pokhara in north western Nepal. During the Habitat build we stayed at The Begnas Lake Resort & Villas which was within walking distance (a long walk) to the build area. The resort is accessible by boat or via a not to good road and 240 step stairway though the jungle – down on arrival and up when leaving. We did both ways on the steps each day.
