Overview

We walk along the ridge as we get a glimpse of the glorious mountain peaks on one side and the placid Phewa Lake on the other. The serene environment and the lush vegetation will make all our stresses go away.

The Sarangkot sunrise hike is a perfect trip to observe the grand Himalayan mountain range. You will have spectacular views of the Himalayas including Dhaulagiri I, Manaslu and Annapurna II along with the radiant Mt. Machhapuchhre (Fishtail).

Furthermore, the village of Sarangkot is settled in the North West of Pokhara with captivating scenes of Pokhara Valley and the Phewa Lake. The Trail goes through the pleasing farmland of the village. Furthermore, the sunrise from Sarangkot is quite a sight to behold.

Sarangkot Sunrise hike offers a great taste of trekking in the hills of Nepal. Also, it provides a profound perspective of the grandness of the Himalayas. Moreover, you can do the hike at any time of the year.

More About Sarangkot Hike

Since it's a sunrise hike, the main attraction is the enchanting view of the Sun rising slowly in between the Himalayas. This alluring view can be witnessed from the Sarangkot viewpoint. Not only that, the viewpoint offers scenic panoramas of the Himalayas. For that, the hike is integrated very early in the morning so, the hike can be concluded by noon.

After that, we have a copious amount of options. We can opt to explore the whole Pokhara valley or we can do boating in Phewa lake. Amid boating, we can pay homage to the Tal Barahi Temple situated in the middle of the lake. We also have an alternative option for adventure activities like Paragliding, Zip Flyers, Ultralight Flight, and Bunjee Jumping.

Moreover, if we choose to explore the city then, we can visit Devis Fall, Gupteshwori Mahadev Cave, Bindabasini Temple, and Mountain museum. By the night, we can cover all these places and enjoy the food of the city beside the great lake.

    Sarangkot Sunrise Hike

    Trek Distance 6-7 KM
    Highest Altitude 1600 m
    Trek Duration 4-5 hrs

    We leave early at 5:00 a.m. as we have to reach there on time to see the magnificent sunrise from Sarangkot. We ride along Lakeside towards the north to the last main intersection. 

    This road continues its way along a ridge into Sarangkot hill, with exceptional views of the Himalayas, which seem almost close enough to reach out and touch.

    After a 6km ride, we see a few teahouses where we can make a welcome refreshment stop. The track firmly embraces the edge of the hill overlooking Phewa Tal. 

    We then spend about an hour on the top of Sarangkot hill, enjoying the splendid sunrise. The sunrise from Sarangkot is unique from others.

    Moreover, the first rays of the sun falling onto to Mountains and making them glisten is quite a view. We then begin our hiking from there. We follow a trail towards the west that will lead us to Naudada. 

    After about 3 hours of hike, we finally reach Naudada. Naudada itself is at the height of 1590m and has a quiet village that is inhabited by farmers. Here, we can enjoy food and drinks while looking at the paddy fields or the mountains above.

    After having enough rest, we continue our hike downhill. We descend through a dense forest as we continuously enjoy the magnificent scenery. Finally, we reach our last hiking destination that is Phedi. Here, we get back in our private vehicle and ride back to Pokhara. The entire trip of Sarangkot hiking can be completed by mid-afternoon.
