Sarangkot is where Pokhara wakes up early. Before sunrise, visitors gather along the ridge as the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges slowly turn gold. On clear days, the peaks appear astonishingly close, dominating the horizon. By mid-morning, the same hill transforms into a paragliding launch site, with colorful wings lifting into the sky above the valley.
