How can we reach Sarangkot of pokahra
Sarangkot is situated at the northern end of Phewa Lake, at an elevation if 1593m. You can get a breathtaking view of the Pokhara Valley, the Annapurna range and the Phewa Lake and its tributaries from Sarangkot. From left to right, you can get a glimpse of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, Hiunchuli, Machhapuchhare, Annapurna III, IV and II and Lamjung Himal. You can also go to the remains of an old fort (kot) on top of a ridge by walking for a few minutes.
There are various routes to reach Sarangot. The 2 hour walk from Bindya Basini temple is the easiest. To reach Sarangot from the temple, you have to head west and follow bitumen road. The route from Lakeside is rather confusing and takes 3 to 4 hours. Another alternative is the route from Bhairab Tole in the northern part of Pokhara bazaar via the village of Gyarajati. You can also go to Sarangkot in a motorbike or a taxi and Rs 700 ($ 10) for a taxi from Lakeside to Sarangkot is a reasonable bargain. From the taxi stop, you will have to walk for about 30 minutes to reach the viewpoint.
There are good budget hotels ($1 to $3) and restaurants in Sarangkot near Pokhara. If you want to catch a magical sunrise or sunset view, you can climb up in the evening and stay overnight. This is also the place to take off paragliding and parahawking activities.
