About This Tour

The Sarangkot Sunrise Tour takes you to one of Nepal’s most famous viewpoints before dawn to watch the sun rise over the Annapurna range. From the hilltop above Pokhara, you see Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna I through IV, Lamjung Himal, and on clear days, Dhaulagiri — all turning from dark silhouettes to blazing gold as the first light hits them.

This is a half-day experience: early pickup, drive to the viewpoint, sunrise, and return to Pokhara by mid-morning with the rest of the day free. For those who want more, Sarangkot is also Pokhara’s paragliding launch point — you can fly from sunrise viewpoint to lakeside with a tandem pilot.
