Khaste Lake is a freshwater lake located at the Kharane Phant in Pokhara metropolitan city, Nepal.[2] The lake is located in Lekhnath ward numbers 3, 4 and 6.

It covers an area of 24.8030 hectares (61.290 acres) and the water area is 13.7370 hectares (33.945 acres). Since some years, Pisciculture has also been practiced in this lake. The area, known as ‘Bird Wetland’ is best suited as a bird watching lake, as the Siberian, Indian and Afghani birds come here to protect themselves from the cold.

Yellow bittern, a summer migratory bird species has been observed near the lake.[3]

This area is also a potential research center for migratory birds of different species.[4]
