Sarangkot Sunrise with Pokhara Sightseeing

Sarangkot Sunrise with Pokhara Sightseeing

Trip overview

Pokhara is one of the most gorgeous cities in Nepal. And you should not miss the chance to explore this lovely city. Perched at the top of the tranquil hill, Sarangkot is a gateway to the heavens. As the first rays of sunlight gently brush the snow-draped Annapurna range, the peaks are set aflame in golden and crimson hues. You also witness iconic Machhapuchre reflecting its splendor upon the valley’s serene waters. In this fleeting moment, time itself pauses, and you will be in awe of nature’s beauty.

From this celestial start, the journey flows into Pokhara, a city where the earth whispers its secrets. Along the glassy expanse of Phewa Lake, vibrant boats drift lazily, mirroring the vivid sky, while the Tal Barahi Temple rises from its center like a timeless jewel. Mystical wonders abound—from the echoing depths of Gupteshwor Cave to the thunderous plunge of Davis Falls, where water vanishes into the earth with an unrelenting roar. 

Ascend to the World Peace Pagoda, a hilltop sanctuary offering vistas as infinite as dreams, or explore the International Mountain Museum, where tales of Himalayan triumphs and tribulations awaken the adventurer within. Sarangkot and Pokhara weave an unforgettable story of Nepal’s beauty, serenity, and indomitable spirit.
