Sarangkot is the hilltop viewpoint that crowns Pokhara, famous for its glorious sunrises over the Annapurna and Machapuchare peaks and as Nepal's premier paragliding launch. Rise before dawn to watch the snows turn gold above Phewa Lake, then, if you dare, soar off the ridge on a tandem flight. Indian citizens need no visa for Nepal and travel on a passport or Voter ID. Holiday Vibez builds Sarangkot into a relaxed Pokhara stay.

About Sarangkot

At around 1,600 metres, Sarangkot rises just above Pokhara and delivers one of Nepal's most accessible Himalayan panoramas. It is best known for sunrise, when the first light hits the Annapurnas, but the daytime views and adventure options make it a must on any Pokhara trip.

Things to do

Sarangkot is compact but action-packed:

  • Sunrise viewing over the Annapurna range
  • Tandem paragliding towards Phewa Lake
  • Photography of lake and mountain vistas
  • Short hikes through hillside villages

Paragliding — honest notes

Sarangkot is a world-class paragliding site with tandem flights suitable for beginners, run by licensed local operators. Flights depend entirely on weather and wind and can be cancelled at short notice for safety, so we treat them as an optional add-on rather than a guarantee.

How to reach Sarangkot

Sarangkot is a short 30 to 45 minute drive up from Pokhara Lakeside, with the last stretch on foot to the viewpoint. We arrange an early transfer so you are in position for sunrise.

Entry & documents

Indians do not need a visa for Nepal. Enter on a valid passport or Voter ID with no visa fee, and carry original ID for your Pokhara hotel.

Best time & weather

October to November and March to April give the clearest sunrises and the most reliable paragliding conditions. Mornings are cold at the top, so bring a warm layer. Mountain visibility depends on the weather, which we cannot guarantee.

Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.

The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
