Sarangkot is a prominent destination for day hike from Pokhara. Settled above the valley of Pokhara, Sarangkot offers startling view of the Annapurna (8091m), Manasalu (8165m), Dhaulagiri (8167m), Ganesh Himal (7446m), Machhapuchare (the sacred mountain) and more than 25 mountains over 6000 meters (19,680ft). Pokhara city itself also looks great from Sarankot. To begin our hike up to Sarangkot we can either choose to hike from Pokhara if we are ready for a bit of strenuous uphill walk or we can drive up to Naudanda if we only want to walk on more or less leveled trail. After 4 hours walk (in both option), we reach Sarangkot and we spend some time enjoying beautiful Himalayan scenery. Sarangkot offers breathtaking views of mountain peaks like Mt. Annapurna, Mt. Himalchuli, Mt. Machhapuchhre, and Lamjung Himal. Return back to Pokhara takes about one and half hour. Some hikers opt to stay overnight at Sarangkot to enjoy sunset and surnrise view from Sarangkot.
