Sarangkot Sunrise
Pokhara, Nepal
Drive to Sarangkot to watch sunrise over the Annapurna, Machhapuchhre and surrounding mountains. Mountain views depend on the weather.

Destination photographs · views and conditions varyA closer look
This early outing is about watching the changing light above Pokhara. On a clear morning, the mountain skyline is the focus; on a cloudy one, visibility may be limited even when the viewpoint is open.
What you can do here
Watch the first light
Allow time to watch the colour change over the mountain range rather than treating sunrise as a single instant.
Photograph the landscape
Bring a camera if you wish, keeping paths and other visitors’ views clear. The gallery shows possible conditions, not a weather promise.
Plan your spend
The cost depends on your date, group and chosen arrangements. Ask for an itemised quote covering:
- Early hotel transfers
- Viewpoint entry
- Guide, if requested
Plan your visit
Departure time
Pickup depends on the sunrise time for your date and your hotel location. The team will confirm it with you.
Walking approach
Check the viewpoint, steps and standing time if you have mobility concerns.
Cloudy mornings
Ask about the plan for poor visibility and any cancellation terms before confirming.

Is sunrise visible every day?
No. Cloud and weather can obscure both sunrise and the peaks.
Is paragliding part of this outing?
No. A viewpoint visit and paragliding are separate activities with different providers and arrangements.
