Sarangkot Viewpoint – Witness the Magical Sunrise Over the Himalaya

Perched on a hilltop just a short drive from Pokhara, Sarangkot Viewpoint is one of Nepal’s most iconic destinations for sunrise and adventure lovers. At an elevation of about 1,600 meters, it offers sweeping views of the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) peaks, as well as a stunning view of Pokhara Valley and Phewa Lake below. The magic of Sarangkot unfolds early in the morning when the first rays of the sun illuminate the majestic snow-capped Himalayas in shades of orange and gold. Visitors often start their journey before dawn to reach the viewpoint in time for this unforgettable spectacle. Apart from its scenic sunrise, Sarangkot is also known as Nepal’s paragliding hub, attracting thrill-seekers from all around the world. Soaring above the valley with the Himalayas in the background offers an unmatched adrenaline rush and a bird’s-eye view of Pokhara’s natural beauty. Whether it’s the serene sunrise, the adventure of paragliding, or the peaceful hillside atmosphere, Sarangkot provides the perfect blend of tranquility and excitement for every traveler visiting Pokhara.
