Sarangkot Day Hiking

You can go to Sarangkot for day hiking within a day time. The hiking will not take you more than 3 to 4 hours and might stretch to 5 hours in case of any exceptional situations along the way. The day is likely to start from your hotel with a hearty breakfast. Make sure you fill yourself up with the right amount of food and water so that the rest of your hike goes soundly without you having to go hungry midway. Likewise, it is just as wise to carry along small snacks and water bottles in your backpack from the start. Your driver will pick you up and take you through a scenic drive of Pame. From here, you will be getting off at Sarangkot.

One has the option to either hike to Sarangkot or directly take their private vehicle up to the location. Whatsoever, your day hiking starts from the bottommost part of Sarangkot. You will not be disappointed at the number of farmhouses in the villages on the way and terrace fields you will be coming through during your hike. The way up to the top of Sarangkot also serves you with beautiful scenarios of mountains and lakes. Basically, you will be learning why this hilltop is considered one of the most attractive sunset and sunrise viewpoints in Pokhara when you’re on your day hike.

You will also be witnessing Mount Machhapucchre along with other mountains from the Annapurna Himalayan range. The calmness of the lakes and the mountainous view will provide you with nothing but serenity. Along with the beautiful view and an educational tour for your children, you will also be getting an opportunity to participate in adventure sports in Sarangkot. Paragliding and Zip liners are two of the most popular adventure sports here.

After coming back from your hike, you can finally drive back to your hotel. You can then be guided to other major attractions in Pokhara that take less than a day time, like Bindhyabasini Temple and David Falls with Gupteshwor Mahadev cave.
