From Pokhara, we hike up-to Sarangkot to witness the great Lakes and Annapurna Himalaya range with mountain giants like Mt. Fishtail, Annapurna I, Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and many more. Sunrise and sunset is another great aspect of this hiking after you reach to the top. Our overnight stay is at Sarangkot.
