Sarangkot Ridge Walk

A common itinerary is 1 day starting and finishing at Pokhara. Add buffer time for weather, road conditions and, where relevant, domestic flights.

The highest point on this itinerary is about 1,591 m. It stays in the foothills, so altitude illness is unlikely but not impossible.

Confirm local entry requirements before departure. Check the current Nepal Tourism Board and Department of Immigration pages close to departure, and ask a government-registered agency to name every permit your itinerary requires.

October–November and March–May. Winter is colder with snow higher up; the monsoon brings rain, cloud and, on some trails, leeches.

Sarangkot is treated as a viewpoint near Pokhara rather than a wilderness trek. Nepal Tourism Board lists it among Pokhara sights. Confirm any current local entry or area requirements before you set out, as rules can change.

Both. Many people walk up through the hillside settlements and return by road, or drive up for sunrise and walk down. A guide can shorten the walk to suit the group.

From $49.50 per person. Final cost depends on your dates, group size and agreed inclusions. Ask for an itemised quote before booking.
