On the northern side of the ridge, there is Begnas Lake and on the southern side of it, Rupa Lake from a few spots, one can see both the Lakes at the same time standing on the ridge. Rupa is extending from east to west with narrow width. Its total area is 1.15 sq. km. The shape looks like a serpent.

Seti River Gorge and K.I.Sing Bridge :Seti River is fed by Machhapuchchre Himal and Annapurna Himal. Seti (white) river is elusively strange. Somewhere it flows through unseen channels, somewhere open and somewhere creating very deep gorges. It gives exciting feeling to anyone when he/she looks down to the gorge from the top of the cliff. There are many gorges made by Seti river, such as gorge below K.I.Sing bridge, gorge below Mahendrapool, gorge below Chinese bridge at Pokhara bus park, gorge below Chor Sangu near airport. Among them the gorge of Seti river which is quite visible just below the K.I.Sing bridge, looks exciting and adventurous to watch. One can look down the turbulent river flowing very clearly while watching from the bridge about 300 feet below. On the left side, while crossing the new bridge, towards Gurkha Memorial Museum, there is the old K.I.Sing bridge made of cement concrete. It is the first concrete bridge constructed in Pokhara.
