Sarangkot Sunrise and Tibetan Cultural Exploration
Rise before dawn and drive to the top of Sarangkot, the mountain on the south side of Pokhara. If the weather is favorable, you may see the sun rise over the gorgeous snow-capped Annapurna Himalayas. However, we cannot promise or guarantee excellent sunrise or mountain views, so guests should join the sunrise portion only if they are comfortable taking that risk due to weather conditions.
