Sarangkot at Sunset

For truly spectacular and 360 degree views of the Pokhara area, the place to go to is Sarangkot. Here you get panoramic views of the Himalayan peaks, the Machhapuchhare, Annapurna, Lake Phewa, and Pokhara town.

I timed my visit to Sarangkot in the afternoon to catch the sunset instead of the usual sunrise views. Here I experienced the transformation of colors of the horizon from orange to red to blue as the sun disappeared and the moon made its early appearance, as the day changed into night. It was an awesome experience.
