Pokhara is surrounded by verdant hills and traditional villages offering stunning views of the Himalayan peaks. Experience the Himalayas by taking a short day hike to Naudanda and Sarangkot. On this short Pokhara day hike, you get to view not only the mountains but also experience the ethnic culture of mountain communities as well. Your adventure begins with a drive from Pokhara to Phedi on a highway lined with terraced fields, traditional settlements, and green forest. The frozen summits of the Annapurna Massif flank the horizon. Get down and take your first steps from Phedi. Head to Naudanda, stopping at intervals to catch your breath and soak in the views. Enjoy inspiring views of the snow-capped peaks and mountain villages. Keep your camera ready to click pictures. There would be numerous photo-op moments on the trail.
A gentle ascent from Phedi brings you to Naudanda, a Gurung village. Walk past paddy fields and mountain settlements with whitewashed cottages. Follow an easy trail till you reach Sarangkot. Sarangkot (1600m) is one of the most popular Himalayan viewpoints in Nepal. From here get three sixty degree views of the Himalayas - Annapurnas, Lamjung Himal, Machhapucchre (Fishtail Peak) and Hiunchuli - and Pokhara valley. After spending a blissful hour or two soaking in the soul-stirring panorama and taking selfies head down from Sarangkot to Pokhara. Finally drive down to your hotel. This hike is ideal for those looking for a Himalayan experience without having to trek for longer periods on a rough trail. You get to go as close as you can to the Himalayas without sacrificing your precious time, energy or creature comforts. Moreover, get a glimpse of rural lifestyle while walking past charming mountain settlements.
If you are looking for a short hike then you can take a short hike up to Peace Pagoda or Shanti Stupa. You cross the Phewa Lake on a boat and hike up the hill up to the vantage point of the stupa. Enjoy awesome views of the entire Pokhara Valley, snow-capped mountains and the Phewa Lake. If you want to visit all the major tourist destinations in Nepal then you can book our popular Best of Nepal Tour, and visit all the major tourist sites in Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan.
