Sarangkot is one of the most iconic sunrise and sunset viewpoints in Pokhara. The hike typically starts from Lakeside (around 900 m) or Sedi village and leads up to the Sarangkot View Tower (1,600 m). The round trip usually takes around 4–5 hours on foot from the base. From the top, you get an unforgettable view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, along with Phewa Lake and the entire Pokhara Valley below. The changing light during sunrise or sunset makes this a favorite spot for photographers and nature lovers.
