Nepal Pokhara|Fishtail Peak and sun rise
At 4:30 AM in Pokhara, I saw a sky full of stars while speeding on a motorcycle, and I waited for the sunrise at Sarangkot, finally catching a glimpse of the mountains I had been longing for when the clouds cleared: ποΈ Machhapuchhre (Fishtail Peak) (6997m) ποΈ Annapurna I (8090m) ποΈ Dhaulagiri (8167m) ποΈ Annapurna II (7937m) Pokhara has two best spots for sunrise and snow-capped mountain views: Sarangkot and the World Peace Pagoda. The former offers a close-up view, while the latter provides a distant view that includes Phewa Lake (I obviously chose the close-up one!) π Sarangkot is about 5 kilometers from the Phewa Lake area and can be reached by taxi, renting a motorcycle, or hiring a motorbike driver. The cost ranges from 1500-2500 NPR. π Set off early! The sunrise I encountered was at 6 AM, and I arrived before 5 AM. However, due to the beautiful scenery, time flew by quickly. It's recommended to check the sunrise time in advance and plan your visit accordingly. π Be sure to check the weather! I waited for four days and finally caught a clear day, with rain the night before. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the stars on my way out. However, after a few hours of clear weather with the sunrise and mountains, it started pouring again. #Nepal #NepalTravel #NepalGuide #PokharaSunrise #Pokhara #PokharaMustDo #PokharaTravel #Pokhara #Nepal #Sunrise #FishtailPeak #Dhaulagiri #Annapurna#Annapurna I#Dhaulagiri II#Annapurna II#sun rise
