Pokhara: Sarangkot to Naudanda Guided Day Hike

Experience a magical sunrise over the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, followed by a peaceful ridge walk through charming local villages on this guided day hike from Pokhara.
Begin your day with a hotel pickup in Pokhara, followed by a 30–45 minute scenic drive to Sarangkot. Upon arrival, witness a spectacular sunrise as the first rays of light illuminate the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre (Fishtail) peaks. This magical moment is one of Pokhara’s most memorable experiences, perfect for photos and quiet reflection.

After the sunrise, enjoy a hearty local breakfast at a Sarangkot café before beginning your hike. The ridge trail from Sarangkot to Kaskikot offers gentle terrain and stunning views of terraced fields, forests, and snow-capped mountains. This section of the hike is peaceful and excellent for photography, making it suitable for beginners and casual hikers alike.

At Kaskikot, explore the historic Kaskikot Durbar ruins and soak in the village’s timeless charm. Take a short break at a local teahouse with a cup of traditional Nepali masala tea, surrounded by panoramic mountain vistas and warm village hospitality.

Continue your hike towards Naudanda, following the ridge that offers sweeping views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges and the sparkling Phewa Lake below. You might even spot paragliders soaring from the nearby take-off point, adding a touch of adventure to the serene landscape.

Upon reaching Naudanda village, relax at a local restaurant and enjoy a delicious lunch featuring traditional Nepali or vegetarian dishes. Take time to stroll around the village, interact with friendly locals, and experience authentic rural life in the Himalayan foothills.

After lunch, a private vehicle will drive you back to Pokhara (approximately 45 minutes). The return route passes Hemja village and Bindabasini Temple, an important Hindu shrine dedicated to Goddess Durga. If time allows, your guide can arrange a brief stop to learn about local worship traditions before heading back to your hotel.
