Things to do in Sarangkot
1. Sunrise in Annapurna Massif
Sarangkot has numerous sightseeing options offering panoramic views of the Pokhara Valley. Observing the Annapurna mountain range is a genuinely superb sight when the morning sun illuminates the white peaks with its rays, shading the geometry of the slopes and playing with colors on sharp peaks. The valley wakes up, rapidly flooding with the light of a new day.
Indescribable sensations and beautiful photographs are just some of the experiences you can enjoy in Sarangkot.
2. Observe the life of Locals
For this purpose, you must stay for a few days at Sarangkot. Staying up high is very relaxing, refreshing, and calm. Only a few animal bellows are noticeable! In Sarangkot, all the inhabitants know each other. They lead the life of yesteryear. Most of them are farmers; some have a Guest House in their house, and some work in Pokhara.
3. Paragliding
Sarangkot is the starting point of paragliding, which takes 20 to 30 minutes. It is a remarkably immersive experience that adventurous people will especially enjoy. The road to the launch pad takes about an hour, and the conditions for flying here are suitable, and the prospects open up, stupefying the mind.
The planet’s highest peaks are in the palm of your hand because it is with Sarangkot that you can see Annapurna, Manaslu, and Dhaulagiri in one bottle.
Tourists here offer flights in tandem, i.e., you fly not alone but with a pilot who controls the flight. And you have to enjoy or shake with fear because separation from the earth and the impossibility of controlling anything excite consciousness.
The take-off slope is slight, and the landing is done gently on a meadow on the edge of Lake Phewa. But independent athletes also come to Pokhara, bringing everything necessary for single flights.
The fare of paragliding depends on the season, but it may cost you approximately NPR 8500 for 25 minutes of paragliding. For 50 minutes, you have to pay 11,000 NPR.
