I had the most magical experience doing the Sarangkot sunrise in Pokhara. The view was breathtaking and the people were lovely. I will definitely come back and would recommend to anyone!


Its not often you can wake up in the morning and get a view of the Himalayas. Our amazing team will pick you up and take you to the top of Nagarkot Hill station so that you can watch the first rays of light stretch across the horizon from the Eastern Himalayas. After the sunrise we will take you for a Nepali style breakfast and if you are at the Nagarkot tower location you can try the local breakfast snacks at the bottom of the hill in you dare :-) We then take you to the starting point of the trek towards the Changu Narayan temple where you can explore the temple grounds before returning to Kathmandu by vehicle.
Prices are per person when two book together; a solo traveller pays $85.
Larger groups pay less per person.
