About this place
Traveling through Nepal? Make sure to check out the World Peace Pagoda. A cheap kayak rental will open up a day of exploration and enjoyment for everyone. The World Peace Pagoda sits atop a hill on the opposite side of the lake of Penang, giving you unrivaled views of the Himalayas.
Start on Lakeside Road, just above Phewa Lake. There's a small ramp across from the main storefronts and restaurants leading down the hill to the waterfront and multiple docks. Renting a canoe is very cheap, if I remember correctly it was $2 USD.
The guys at the dock are very friendly and will help point you in the right direction along with providing a small brochure with a map. Canoe along the left side of the lakeshore toward the island temple. Pass the temple, and continue along until a cove opens up on your left. Canoe into the cove, and dock your canoe there.
Head up the clearly marked trail for about 1 mile uphill, and you'll arrive at the World Peace Pagoda.
Bring a camera, and whatever you celebrate with at the summit!
Enjoy!
