Waking Up Above the Clouds Why You Need to Actually Stay in Sarangkot We all love Pokhara. The gentle lap of Phewa Lake and the live music spilling out from the cafes are great. But let us be honest. Sometimes Lakeside gets a little too crowded and loud. You find yourself looking up at the massive green ridge towering over the city and wondering what it is actually like up there. That ridge is Sarangkot. For years the standard Sarangkot experience was brutal. Your alarm goes off at 4 AM in your Lakeside hotel. You stumble into a freezing taxi in the pitch dark. Then you stand shoulder to shoulder with a hundred other shivering tourists just to catch a glimpse of the sunrise. But what if you did not have to do that. What if you just stayed up there instead of rushing up the mountain in the dark. Here is why your next trip to Pokhara should involve packing a bag and spending the night above the clouds.Trading City Noise for Mountain Wind
At 1600 meters high Sarangkot feels like an entirely different world from the valley below. The air is noticeably cooler and crisper. The soundtrack changes from honking scooters to the sound of the wind and eagles circling overhead.
It is the ultimate place to slow down. You do not come here to party. You come here to sit on a balcony with a steaming mug of local coffee and stare at one of the most unbelievable mountain panoramas on earth.
The Experiences That Make It Worth It
While doing absolutely nothing is highly encouraged Sarangkot is famous for a few things you simply have to experience.
You can roll out of bed at 6 AM and watch the first rays of light hit the peaks of Machhapuchhre and the Annapurna massif right from your room
You can watch colorful paragliders launch off the hillside or book a tandem flight to glide over the lake yourself for an adrenaline rush
You can take the smooth and scenic Annapurna cable car ride straight from the edge of Phewa Lake all the way up to Sarangkot in less than 10 minutes
Where to Rest in Sarangkot
The accommodation in Sarangkot has completely transformed. It used to be just a few basic teahouses. Today the ridge is lined with some of the most stunning boutique lodges and cozy retreats in the country.
The luxury here is all about the view. Properties are designed with massive floor to ceiling windows and private balconies. Some even have heated infinity pools that make you feel like you are swimming in the clouds.
Whether you want a simple budget friendly room or you are looking to treat yourself to a luxury stay the options are spectacular. You can easily look up current Sarangkot mountain lodge prices and compare different room types to find exactly what fits your budget.
Do not wait until you are already in Pokhara to try and secure a room on the ridge. Places sell out fast during the clear autumn and spring months. You can browse the best spots with guaranteed mountain views and lock in your stay instantly through eSewa Hotels.
Skip the early morning taxi ride. Book a room to sleep in and let the mountains come to you.
