Sarangkot Hiking Brief Insight

Sarangkot is one of the most visited tourist destinations around the Pokhara Valley. The Sarangkot Hiking explores this hill west to Pokhara which is famous for panoramic views of the Annapurna range and Mt. Machhapuchhre (6997m). The hike is one of the easiest and most adventurous adventures that can be completed within a day yet guarantees of cultural interaction and natural melodrama. The trip takes you along the serene trails through numerous villages offering views of the distant Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Lamjung Himal ranges with the gorgeous Pokhara Valley cheering you along the climb.

Sarangkot is only 5 km from Pokhara city and the hike to the 1592 meters tall hill begins with a short drive to the trail-head. As the hike begins its ascent along the forested trails, the natural prosperity is simply breath-taking. The route takes you through ethnic settlements that showcase traditional Nepali lifestyle, culture, and traditions.

With the Himalayas often playing hide and seek on the hike, you are sure to experience their majestic beauty on more than a few occasions. As you reach the top, you again relish the picturesque landscapes and find yourself overlooking the Pokhara Valley and Phewa Lake.

The viewpoint in Sarangkot is famous for offering mesmerizing views of the Himalayas in Annapurna, Lamjung, and Manaslu ranges along with the Mt. Machhapuchhre (6997m). The sunrise and sunset from the Sarangkot hilltop also grant remarkable sights of the mountains drenched in different shades of sunlight.

Apart from being a grand hiking destination, Sarangkot also is the spot for plenty of other adventure sports. Paragliding is by far the most famous one with zip-lining coming a close second.
