To Sarangkot
Got up early at 0430hrs to see Sunrise at Sarangkot view point. It is 15 kms from Pokhra, but due to steep ascent, it took 1 hour ride to reach at the top. However proper parking space is before the top, from where tourists trek for 20-30 minutes.
I continued riding on a rough stretch to reach closer to the mountain top. Although at times the ascent was very steep, especially at few turns, but riding here is not at all a big challenge for Sach pass tamers. ;)
at Sarangkot
peaks visible from this view point (conditions apply - unless the day is clear)
view point : people waiting for the sunrise
Unfortunately day was hazy : some tourists left, some started clicking what ever they liked there
I liked this ;)
this was the easiest part of the rough stretch there
One can see a beautiful sunrise and Mt. Annapurna & other famous peaks from Sarangkot. But many of us were not fortunate that day due to haze. I kept on waiting for 1 hour, but all in vain. Left Sarangkot at 0730 and reached back to the hotel.
Lake side, Pokhra : at morning
